DR.. Kendall, pastor Of the Mulberry
/ Street Methodist church, at Macon, met
with serious accident Tuesday whicl will
! colfine MIN TO his room for at least two
| weeks. While he was trying TO mount his
| horse in front of his residence the animal
SHE'D, causing DR.. Ksndalrs foot TO slip
| from the stirrup. As his foot slipped his
| body fell forward, causing his left jaw to
strike the pommel of the saddle,
breaking it. The pain was excru-
| ciatinR, but with great foTtitude DIR.
Kendall tied the animal and returned TO
his residence, when he directed that his
| physician, DR.. K. p. Moore, be summoned
| Fortunately the physician was at home and
was soon at his patents side. By an opera
ton somewhat new in surgery, DR.. Moore
brought the injured parts together without
making any incisio0, and in doing 50 re-
moved a portion of the bone which is
known to ANTAGONISTS as the "zygomotic
process" The physician hopes to have him
| out in two weeks, but it may be longer
than that before he is able 70 preach again.
In few days the Southern Cadets, Ma
cons brag military company, will go TO
Atlanta to enter the prize drill at the expo
sition. Great rivalry exists between it and
the Gate City Guards, of Atlanta. Major A.
O. Bacon has done the handsome thing and
put the Macon boys on their mettle by pre-
senting them with the champion belt"
which will be worn by Captain Rolf Sims
The belt is one of the most costly as
well as one Of the finest trophies ever
won by a military company in Georgia.
The belt, regulation United States in-
fantry captains belt, is made of woven gold
thread, yellow and white, with heavy
plated trimmings, and solid gold hand
chased clasp. The clasp is a work of art

Athens Banner: At last plan has been
discovered by which the cotton planters can
keep even with the exchanges and the jute
bagging men, and if 1t is generally adopted
the farmer can bid defiance to all his ene-
mics and still keep even with the buyer
This plan was proposed by a well-known
cotton man of Athens, who has been a
friend to the cotton planter since the inau-
guration of his fight against the jute trust.
Here is the plan: Let the farmer,
instead OF putting six ties
on his bales, as i, customary. use
nine ties. With the buckles aud cotton
bagging they will weigh twenty-four
pounds, the amount of tare deducted from
each bale. He can then let the congresses
substitute jute if they want to, for it will
not be his funeral. No buyer can object to
this, as the planter is made to lose twenty
four pounds tare on each bale he sells, and
they dare not take OFF or make deduction
for a single tie. This is way to beat the
jute trust and at the same time keep even
with the cotton exchanges. 1t is fair and
honest and will win the day.
A few days ago the fact was published
that T. A. KYdd, a negro tailor of Bruins
wick, had received letter warning him to
leave the city at once or suffer the con-
sequences At the time it was thought
tina: the letter was huge Ike, only in
tended to frighten Kydd, thereby furnish
ing Amusement for the writer, but tine has
proven the contrary, for few nights ago
another letter was placed under Kydds
door, which, like the other, was written in
red ink and ornamented in one corner by a
skull and cross bones This letter in
sisted on Kydd's leaving Brunswick at
OHce. lueoudf hyuu sou dOOuU MS Work as
| usual, but about the middle of the day a
| negro put in an appearance at his shop, who
carried revolver in his pocket and another
in his hand The negro stated the cause of
his visit, and went on to explain to Kydd
that he had better follow the advice of the
letter and leave Brunswick at once The
negro continued at length, giving the why's
and wherefores. until he converted Kydd to
his way of thinking, and the latter left town

it seems that there is a woman connected
with the case, and that Kydd really would
have been harmed had it not been for his
timely departure. The man left several
| accounts unpaid and a consider bic amount
of work that had been intrusted to him I'M
accounted for, and possibly these facts had
as much to do with his sudden departure as
| the threats he had received.
