Jim Greenwood in Bad Shape Following Car Accident, April 23, 1925

Serious Accident Sunday Evening. . . Jim Greenwood Badly Injured When Auto Turns Over Near the City. . . Hope for Recovery

The condition of James Greenwood, who was seriously injured in an automobile accident last Sunday evening, appears more favorable for recovery than earlier in the week, and the latest reports from his bedside are that he is resting more comfortably than could have been expected, considering the extent of injuries sustained.

The accident, which came near costing the life of the young man, occurred at 8 o’clock Sunday evening, about three miles out of town in between Jonesville and Brooks Cross Roads, as Greenwood and Will Reece, a lad of 16 years, who was at the wheel of the Studebaker car in which they were driving were returning to town after a little spin to the country.

Blinded somewhat by the bright lights of a Nash car which was approaching from the opposite direction, and traveling, it is said, at a high rate of speed, the wheels of Greenwood’s car hooked the rear bumper of the Nash, twisting the latter directly across the road, and overturning Greenwood’s Studebaker. Both Greenwood and Reece were hurtled with terrific force against the concrete road bed, the former evidently having gone thru the windshield, which split his face wide open, cutting a long deep gash extending from his forehead thru his nose to the bottom of his chin. His spine was also injured to some extent, but not broken as was feared before an x-ray examination was made. The Reece lad was cut and bruised about the body, his wounds not being of a serious nature.

Neither of the occupants of the Nash, Miss Iva Nixon and Mr. Cash of Winston-Salem, sustained injury and their car was only slightly damaged. “The Studebaker was almost demolished.

The victims of the wreck were rushed to the local hospital as quickly as possible after the accident. Members of the family and the numerous friends of Mr. Greenwood were exceedingly anxious on account of his condition, but strong hope for his recovery is now entertained should no serious complication develop.

Billy Sunday to Speak in Elkin April 27, 1925

Billy Sunday, America’s Most Widely Known Preacher, Will Speak in Elkin Next Monday Morning, April 27, 10:30 O’Clock

For several weeks the ministers and Kiwanians of Elkin have been planning for a Billy Sunday meeting here. Last Saturday a delegation representing the ministers and Kiwanians went to Winston-Salem and extended a personal invitation to the great evangelist.

The invitation was taken under consideration, and Monday President W.G Miller of the Kiwanis club received a letter advising him of Mr. Sunday’s acceptance of the invitation. The date was set for Monday, the 27th, at 10:30 o’clock. One of the warehouses here is being put in condition to accommodate the mammoth crowd that will be on hand to see and hear the man whom they have heard and read so much about.

It is estimated that between 4,000 and 5,000 people can be accommodated in the auditorium which is being seated and equipped for this meeting. The people of Elkin invite all people in this section to come in for this great event. The committee on arrangements is planning to make every effort to see to it that everybody gets an equal opportunity to hear Mr. Sunday. Seats will be reserved for the aged people. For them a section will be reserved. The meeting will begin promptly on schedule time. In keeping with the custom of the evangelist, a free will offering will be taken during the meeting, all of which goes to that great Christian institution at Winoma Lake, Ind., which is largely supported by Mr. Sunday.

Mr. Sunday does not know how many of these outside trips he will be able to make during his stay in Winston-Salem, and it is the opportunity which thousands of people in this section may never have again. Take a day off and let’s make it a big Sunday day in Elkin, Monday, next Monday, the 27th, at 10:30 o’clock.
