Narrow escape as wagon load shifts near railroad crossing
A driver named Mr. Denton narrowly escaped serious harm when a wagon load of plastering lathes shifted and dumped him between frightened mules near the passenger station. He was dragged to a halt at the Newton Grocery Company storefront, bruised but unharmed enough to drive home shortly after. The item also notes a society update: Dr. J C Biddix married Miss Anna Belle Johnston of Baltimore on December 20, 1912, and she will soon join him here. A public bid notice announces September 25 1913 for a Combination Chemical Engine and Hose Car to be bid at the City Manager’s office. Further items include Harvest Home services at St Andrews Lutheran and the opening of a new 5 and 10 cent store by R M Knox in Lenoir.
