of the Bell Telephone Company at this
place, on last Monday morning, while
assisting some hands to erect pole
on Roswell street, met with an
accident. He was holding shovel
against the pole, when the latter I'M
expectedly slipped, and caused the
shovel to strike the left side of his face,
making slight cash, and breaking off
one of his teeth. His shoulder and
head was also slightly hurt. 1t was
narrow escape from serious injury and
his many friends are glad he got off as

ablest he has preached. He has plan
ned for successful years work and
we believe he is going to have it.
