Mrs. Andrews Improves.
Mrs. Robert Andrews, of Blow
ing Rock, who was run over by
an automobile on the school cam
pus and badly hurt, externally,
during the celebration on the
4th, is still confined, to her bed,
but, when last heard from she
was resting fairly weir and hopes
for her early recovery are now
entertained by loved ones. The
accident, for certainly it was
nothing else, is greatly to be de
plored, first because of the inju
ries received by the popular old
lady, and second, that without it
not a single instance occurred to
mar the pleas lire of anyone. Mrs.
Mary Ann Pearon, another aged
lady, was knocked down by the
same machine and received some
slight bruises. The car was own
ed by Mr. Claud Mast, and was
driven by Mr. John Baird, who
claims his brakes failed to work
when he started down the grade
loading to the driveway, where
the accident occurred. He will be
given a hearing before M a y o r
Moore next Saturday.
