Last Friday about 12 40 p. m. a head on collision between a freight and the north-bound "Norfolk Southern trains cccured just south of Plymouth. No lives were lost and no one seri ously injured, the engineer on the freight sustained slight in jury and the cook on the Pullman was slightly scalded as he was preparing dinner. Both engines were somewhat put out of com mission and two box cars badly broken up. The accident happened on the curve' near the old Company mill and was caused by the freight taying to make tlu' switch in time to back in ahead of the rr ail train and missed its calculation just enough to meet it before clearing the switch.
