Although Mrs Cheatham had
not been in robust health for
several months, she was not

her ailment was not considered
serious. On Wednesday night,
however, she suddenly grew
worse, and began to sink rapidly,
having breathed her last just as
the new day began to dawn.
Mrs. Cheatham, who was fifty
years of age, was a most excel.
lent Christian lady, having for
years been faithful and con-
sistent member of the First Bap-
tist church. She is survived by
her husband, a son, Mr.. r. E.
Cheatham, Jr., and two daugh-

MRS. A. klDWElL MEETS
WITH SERIOUS ACCIDENT
Aged Lady Falls Down Steps,
Breaking Left Arm and
Sprainins Right

| Mrs. Amelia Kidwell, the ageo
mother of DR.. j. C Kidwell, met
with a serious accident last Wed
nesday night, when she fell
down a flight of steps, breaking
one arm and severely spraining
the other.
The accident occurred at the
home of DR.. Kidwell, No. 1O16
College street, and resulted from
confusion in Mrs. Kidwell's mind
regarding the location of two
doors leading from her apart
ment. One of these doors leads
out in the yard and one into the
hall. 1t was the latter door that
Mrs. Kidwell intended to open
Wednesday night, but instead of
doing this she opened the one
leading into the yard, and fell
down the steps. Members of the
family were attracted by her
cries of pain, and upon reaching
her side found her lying supine
upon the ground.
Mrs. Kidwell is seventy-seven
years old, and her advanced age
makes it very hard for her to
bear her injuries.

NOW
IN EXTRA SESSION
'SOLOnS GATHER At JACKSON
Purpose Of Meeting Is to Settle
Bond Dispute and Provide
Funds for Payment Of
State Militia

The Mississippi legislature cor
vened in extraord dinary session a
Jackson last Wednesday, tn
members having assembled in re
sponse to a proclamation issued b.
Cover Noel. Only short session
were held by the senate ant
lower house on the opening day
both bodies having adjourned
early out of respect to dead men
bers.
The purpose for which the ex.
ira session has convened is ia
discuss and, if possible, settle
the matter of disputed interest
on State bonds and to provide
funds for the payment of mem
bers of the Mississippi National
Guard who were called out to
protect the property or the Illi-
nois Central railroad against
depredations on the part of strik-
ing employees. 1t is expected that
compensation for the National
Guardsmen will be speedily pro-
vided, and the only difficulty
anticipated is in inducing the
members to agree upon a plan
for disposing of the bond matter.
One of the plans submitted for
settling the bond interest dispute
was a proposition to create a con-
tingent fund sufficiently large to
cover the interest on the bonds
and authorize the governor to
pay same. Another plan that
has been discussed is to pass
a bill providing for the refunding
Of the entire issue of 5000. 900 at
5 per cent This pan If adopt
ed. would give the bondholders
The option of exchanging the
I'D binds for new securities or
lolding the old bonds.
Other plans have been sug-
rested, but whether or not the
opposing factions can agree up
IN any one of them is proble-
natical. The two factions are
Composed of supporters of Gov
rnor Noel and those who are
ntagonistic to him. and it may
lot be easy for them to come to-
ether.
Most of the members of both
ouses seem to be imbued with
desire to end the session as
peedily as possible, and their
nxiety regarding business mat
srs at home may impel them
, reach quick agreement.
