young colt, the colt became frightened and ran away, turning the cart over and
throwing Mr. Stanley from the cart, breaking his ankle and brusing himself
considerably.
     Hon. Milton P. Reese of Washington, it is said by his friends, will make a
race for the state Senate. It is Wilkes county's time to name the senator, and
the indications are the county will name Mr. Reese if he will accept it. Mr.
Reese is an able lawyer, enjoying a lucrative practice, and he may not desire to
re-enter politics.
     Information has been received in Macon of the death of Rev. John M. Field
at the residence of his son on Indian River, Florida. He formerly lived in

the 83rd year of his age. Dr. Thomas H. Blount of Macon is the only survivor of
the volunteers who went to the Indian war.
     Waynesboro True Citizen: While S. Schwarzweiss is a Hebrew of the Hebrews,
of the stock of Israel, of the house of Hudah, never the less he is a sort of
honorary member of the Methodist church. At any rate such is his interest in it
that a few days ago he employed a painter and had its coors repained, adding
very much to the appearance to that handsome structure.
     T. J. Anderson, a prominent citizen of Perry, was stricken with paralysis
Thursday afternoon and died at 9 o'clock that night. Mr. Anderson was on the
streets a few moments before he was stricken, laughing and talking with his
friends. He leaves a wife with one child, a boy about 10 years of age. Mr.
Anderson is a brother-in-law of J. H. Hodges, editor of the Houston Home Journal.
     The erection of a 10-story office building of granite will be begun in
Atlanta before many months hav passed. The Venable brothers will be the
builders, and it will probably be the handsomest office building in the country.
It will be put up on some large corner lot almost in the center of the city and
will cost between $500,000.00 and $750,000.00. The principal use will be for
offices, banks, insurance companies, etc.
