Curdy, aged 75 years and t
months.
William Gillingham, who has been
employed with Mr. K. Drake, of
Staffa, suffered concussion of the
brain in an auto accident on the
Thames Road Friday about midnight
and was brought to the Exeter hos
pital where he did not regain con
sciousness until Sunday morning.
The accident occurred when Gil
lingham collided ‘head-on"with Allan
McLean about three milgs east of
Farquhar where both had attended
a dance that evening.. Both cars
were badiy damaged. It is thought
that Gillingham was thrown through
the windshield. He suffered a scalp
wound and' other abrasions. Mr.
McLean was badly shaken up as was
also the passenger who was with
him. Dr. Campbell, of Kirkton, was
called and Mr. Gillingham was re
moved to the Exeter hospital where
Dr. W. E. Weekes was called to as
sist Dr. Campbell. Mr. Gillingham
is improving nicely and expects to
leave the hospital shortly.
On Wednesday of last week about
5.30 in the afternoon fire broke out
in the home of Mr. T. O. Southcott
caused from the electric wiring. The
alarm was sounded and soon a large
crowd of people were on the scene
together with • the fire department.
The fire was soon under control as
the hydro men were working nearby
and cut the wires leading to the
house. The men had been stringing
heavier wires on the line during the
day and when connecting up the
wires in front of Mr. Southcott’s
house they got the lines crossed and
as soon as the current was turned
on the wires heated. Mrs. South
cott was in the house at the time
and heard a roaring noise in the cel
lar and on learning the cause turned
in the alarm. Around the hydro
box the woodwork was badly charr
ed and many of the joists were also
charred. It was a close call.

Workmen have started to repair

Leavitt, the proprietor, is to be
gratulated on his enterprise.
