W. McKibboa -and a• few friends had ,just turned on ,to the :bridge when they saw the car bound „across the ,abutment. To an oalooker would appear that Mr, Nichol had Lis head down looking for a brake and had probably taken his foot, off the accelorator and was feeding from the drive wheel. The car was not. travelling so fast that .it could not 1: 'Make the turn. , The car was soon lifted and the people liberated, all were badly shak- • en up and the children were bleeding from slight soratches. The baby was -picked up from underneath the auto and it was a surprise and relief that it wai found to be alive and apparent- °Iy only slightly cut and bruised. The car was badly wrecked although we tunderstand that Mr. Nichol was able to drive it.home again that night. Mr. i -/ugh Miller, clerk in Mr. McKibbon's store received a, couple of ugly cuts on the fingers of his right hand evi- aclently cauded by touching broken :glass when assisting to lift the auto. The only way we can account for rthe baby being alive is that it fell on the running board and when the caa -went over the weight was held off its little body by the width of the fender. Probably never again will anyone in the car eve i be as near death's door and Jive to tell the tale. It was ,certainly a miraculous escape. , • "Died In Clinton Friends of Mr. John Bell of Bel - grave, will sympathize with -him in. the death of his • daughter, Mary which took place in Clinton on Monday. The remains were brought to Belgrave on Wednesday and interred in Brandon cemetery. Services were conducted in the Belgrave Methodist church and at the grave' by her pastor, Rev. j. R. Peters, B. A.

Wagon loads of grav- el and stone were taken past this store to the new pavement at the south end of town and that is possibly how ston- es were shot from the pavement by amomobile tires passing along.
