GENERAL NEWS. [ Special “ Chronicle ” Service ] A lorry owned by Messrs John Reid and Co., of Wanganui, collided with a! ear driven by Miss Wilson, of Silver- ' hope, at Goebel’s corner, near Hunterville, on Monday night. No one was hurt. Both vehicles were, slightly damaged but were able to continue theii journeys. The lorry was travelling from Ractihi to Wanganui and the car was coming to Hunterville. This corner has been the scene of many accidents, and although it has lately been widened it still seems to be a place for motors to meet on the same side of the road, even though there is room for three cars abreast at this spot. It is not considered a bad corner by motorists. PERSONAL. Mr A. W. Mulligan, private secretary to the Minister for Lands, who has' been on leave, spent a few days in Ruahine and Hunterville. Mr D. Stent, of Ohingaiti, has been appointed chairman of directors of the Taihape Dairy Company.
