Holmes County Listed
In Highway Accidents

The Mississippi Public Safety Com
mission in report released the past
week gave the number of accidents,
fatalities, property damages, ETC., in the
period beginning January l and continu-
ing through February. The total of all
accidents was placed at 3O5 with prop
erty damage at S59,355.OO. Total number
killed was 81, and 252 people injured.
Interesting figures in the list were
those from Holmes county that gave a
total of one killed, seven non-fatally
hurt.
Driving has taken on more serious
turn nowadays with patrolling of the
highways and aside from minor infract-
ions of the safety rules, such as not
stopping at highway intersections, cars
improperly equipped or lighted, Holmes
county has been unusually free of any
serious accidents. All hope that this
record will continue.
