afternoon. She brought with her a.
fine large Maltese cat which has al
ready become the pet of the family.
Rev. w. H. Davis Of Kentucky held
services in the Presbyterian church
here yesterday morning and evening.
Though he has not yet been called
here, there is some probability that he
will be, as the members one and all
were much pleased with his discourses.
He is stopping at the home of Cyrus
Graves On Chattahoochee and Long
street.
A most painful accident happened
to the wife of DR.. RUSSELL Saturday
afternoon. The doctor, his wife and
children drove up to the ice factory for
a drink and while he alighted to get
the same the fireman, the only man
in the establishment at the night
hour was waiting on customer, the
steam in the engine ran up and "blew
off" frightening the horse. Tearing
west on Central Avenue he struck the
bridge and bad spot in the stree just
below the factory, throwing Mrs. Fus-
sell and the children out and damag-
ing the carriage. Mrs. Russell when
picked up, was found to have three
ribs broken and was taken home and
was suffering greatly from her injuries
at last reports. This Is a lesson to our
city council to see that that bridge and
the Street near By are repaired before
some life is taken on account of it.
/. Gelders sold a Victor safe to Mr..
Phil Harris today. Who says business
is not looking up.
Rev. H. w. Davis left this morning

question of doubt, be called back"
The reception given last night at
the pleasant home of DR.. and Mrs.
Thompson in honor Of Mrs. B. B. Nc
Graw and daughter, by the members
of the Christian church was largely at
tended, and a very enjoyable season
of mirth and sociability was experience
ed by all present. We are glad to
welcome such people to home in
our city and sincerely hope that every
earthly happiness will be theirs dur
ing their residence here. The Rev. b.
B. McGraw has already won his way
into the hearts of our people as they
recognize in him all the noble attri-
butes to be found in a thorough and
consistent Christian gentleman.
