BEAM WAS I HIT -BY AUTO SUNDAY Knocked Unconscious By Car .Sunday Afternoon. Un avoidable Accident CONDITION NOT SERIOUS Last Sunday afternoon as Rev. and Mrs J. A.

Few men in the Co.untv _are more loved thim Mr: Beam and white they will regret to I hear of hi.- accident, they will , yt?- ' joice that it was not serious. From what we can learn it seem? | that two cars were meeting and to] avoid a more serious accident Mr. Wilburn tried to get ?>ut of the path : of the comine: car, hoping he- might j by ;? close ul.ave. pa?s Mr. .and M' ?=? 1 Beam without hitting them, but the I fender of his car struck Mr. Beam, with the result as ab>ve' mentioned; It was simply another one of those unavoidable accidents, probably no one regretting it more than the driver of the car.
