Terrible Tornado--A Church Blowa Down
Ticenfy:fre Killed, and large number
Houaded-Des Of Property.
A terrible tornado passed over por.
ton of the city Of Louisville, last Sun
day afternoon, accompanied by an aw-
full destruction of life aud property ;
the Third Presbyteriterian Church,
on the corner Of Eleventh and Walnut
streets, was completely wrecked, and
the entire bail!ingfetl in, including the
roof. rafters, and brick walls, crushing
30 Of the congregation to instant death,
and woanding scrioasly ten or twenty
others. The scene was truly heart
rending. Soon a large crewd assem-
bled and began to search for the vic
Tins. A mother aud her three chill.
dren were grouped in death. Another
scene presented father, mother and
babe--the father dead, and the mother
mortally wounded, while the little chlltl
placed beneath them, remained unhurt,
being protected by the forms Of its pa
rents. In other instances some of the
victims were found terribly wounded
and MANNED.
1t is thought that one or two others
were killed whose names have not been
learned.
Fully one hundred buildings in the
I'city were unroofed and otherwise in.
jured.
A splendid block Of four story hoas.
es, recently erected on the north side
Of Maine, between Eighth and Ninth
streets, was completely destroyed, and
two or three men, it is supposed. are
in the ruins.
The upper story Of the rope ant
bagging factory of w. A. Richardson
& Co., on Magazine street, was blowI
down, and the new city School Hous,
on the corner of Ninth and Magazin,
streets, was unroofed. The total los
is estimated at 500. 900.

Advertlsements.--The Danville (va.)
Register, after nqelogising for the large space
occupied by its advertising patrons in several
of the late numbers, appcnds the following sem
siblc remarks:
"In reference to the subject geAe-
rally. many persons ,lo not reflect, that
advertisements are essential to the very
existence Of paper. A new paper
necessarily contains at first more Of
what is called .rcading NATTER" but
unless it obtains advertising patronage
it cannot sustain itself. These are
prools Of its prosperity. The alterna-
tive then is between paper with adj
vertisements and no paper at all. We,
however, do not ask to be Judged by
the amount OF reading matter furnished
by US. II is TOO xommon for persons
to estimate the value Of paper by the
quantity instead Of the quality. A pa
per NAV be as large as barn door. not
contain single advertisement, and
still be a poor affair.

TO OUR FRIENDS.

WE have just received a lot Of New Types,
w part of which are intended for the con-
tcmplated enlargement Of the Recorder, andahe
others to enable us TO execute in better style
Blanks and other Job Work. Our friends will
see from this that we arc in earnest in the mat
ter of the enlargement Of our paper, and we
hope to receive sufficient encouragement to en-
able us to do so before the meeting of the Lee
gisIature. All that remains to accomplish it is
the purchase Of new Press. The paper now
is as large as our old Press will print; and be-
sides, having withstood the assaults Of the Brit
ish in the war Of 1912, tits somewhat difficult
to be kept in order, and cannot be safely relied
on. An addition of l50 new subscribers, with
an advance payment, would meet the necessary
expenditure at once. We appeal, then, to our
friends in Orange, Alamance, Granville, Person,
and other neghboring counties, to aid us. BY a
little effort from each of our present subscribers,
all that we require could be accomplished in a
few DAYS. The enlargement would make con-
siderable addition to the amount of reading mat
ter each week, and would greatly increase the
usefulness and efficiency of the paper. If pro-
perly encouraged, we shall endeavor to make
the RECORDER not only a faithful exponent Of
Wing principles, but also one of the best Fami-
" Papers published in the State. Who will be
the first TO respond to our appeal We have
aborcd faithfully and long in the Wing cause,
and for what we believed to be the true inte-
rests of North Carolina, and surely an appeal
now to the friends with whom. we have co-ope-
rated, will not pass unhecded.

Gen. Mcneil, who had just been APP

we make the following extract:

impossible for US to pursue any profess
sion--particularly that Of arms-for fif-
teen or twenty years without forming
strong attachment to It in various ways.
and of course must abandon them with
considerable reluctance but there are
