The Orphans' Fair.

The delightful weather for the past day
or two has enabled the ladies to turn out
in large force to collect contributions for
the annual Fair for the benefit of st.

ously and oheerfully, to all worthy objects
and this is one of the most worthy

Mrs. Lawrence Olwill, and other Edgefeld

The Late squire Mathews,

W. A. Matthews, whose death at an

corded in our issue of that day, was born
in England, in 1887. His family having
migrated to Wisconsin in his early bow
hood, he first came to Nashville IN 1862.
wearing the Uniform of a Federal officer.
Unlike most of his comrades in arms he
regarded the Southern people as brethren
still, and his position under Hunter
Brooks contributed much toward making
the Provost Marshslship of that officer the
most lenient that the people of Nashville
experienced throughout those trying times.
The war over, Col. Mathews married and
became one of us, indentifying himself
with our interests at a juncture when we
had few friends indeed among those who
were permitted to participate in politics.
At a tine when others we're making money
of their loyalty and expressing us, he boldly
took our part under the eggs of his unim-
peachable record. In the several conserv-
alive and Democratic movements of late
years, he was prominent and active lead
er, welding much influence among his
numerous friends. Of good heart and
strong impulses, be was generally right,
and always earnest and energetic. The
talents that his Maker had given him he
did not bury, but used constantly to the
benefit of his fellow-man, for he was, in
deed, generous to a fault Eminently So

idolizing father, he has been taken away

sympathy in their bereavement of the

New Locks for DIstiIIerfes and
ROuded Warehouse

HOnue0 WaTPnOtahls-
Only two or three months have elapsed
since the owners of distilleries and bonded
warehouses in this, the fifth collection dis
trict, were required to purchase new locks
for their distilleries and warehouses, and
now an order has been received from Com
missioner Pleasanton, at Washington, re-
curing another kind Of locks to be pur-
chased, which viii entail considerable ex-
pense upon the parties above mentioned.
The circular was received here yesterday,
and in it the Commissioner says:
'fHaying ascertained that the locks and
seals now in use at distilleries and internal
revenue bonded warehouses do not fully
answer the intended purpose, nor afford
that security to the Government and pro-
prietors that is required, l hereby pre-
scribe what is known as the American
Seal Lock" as the lock to be used at dis
tilleries and internal revenue bonded ware
houses, to be provided at the expense of
the owners or proprletors thereof, as re-
duired by law. As soon as the American
seal lock can be procured, the use of all
other locks will be dispensed with, and
they will be delivered to the proprietors as
their property.
The Commissioner further states that he
has arranged with the manufacturers to
supply the locks for $16.76 each, together
with the accompanying seals.
The Commissioner no doubt thinks that
he will have the internal revenue locked up
all right this time; but we can say in Pleas
anton's favor, that this is the first lock
circular that he has issued, as the previous
circular in reference to locks was issued
while Delano was in charge of the Revenue
Department.

THE TORNADO.
Tho Destruction at PocahOntas

The Destruction at POcahOntas
From the Bolivar Tenn Bulletin, Feb. IS.
The tornado of Friday afternoon last,
18th inst, struck Pocshontas at half-past
four O'Clock. 1t thus passed from Helena,
Ark, to Pocahontas in an hour and a
quarter, about sixty miles per hour.
Twenty-Five houses were des troyed at the
little village of Pocahontss, on the Mem
phis and Charleston road, seventy five
miles east of Memphis. The railroad
stationhouse was utterly demolished, and
the contents damaged or blown
away. The two-story Masonic
Hall was utterly destroyed. The
Methodist Church even the stills, and its
heaviest timbers, were moved three hund
red yards. DR.. Higgins drug store was
destroyed with all its contents; Capt. T.
Holcomb's house was blown away, with
his stock of drygoods and groceries; E.
RegSn's groceries; G w. CARROTS two
houses were destroyed, but his stock was
not SO grievously damaged; G. M. Nolan's
house was overturned, and his saloon,
bottles and demijohns all broken and
smashed; the cotton shed of Col. Price
was destroyed, and the roof swept away
from his storehouse; s. II. Rosson's
family grocery was utterly demolished,
but part of the contents were saved.
Nelson, Ray & Taylor's storehouse was
almost ruined, bnt many of the goods
were uninjured. The residence of Mr..
Doris, Justice of the Peace, was Llown
down. His family was in at the time;
the window was open and they came out
through it, unframed. VIM. Stones re-
sidenCe and eVerythingin it was blown into
Hatchie river bottom, now covered with
water, and everything was lost. They have
neither food nor clothing left. Thomas J.
Atkins house was utterly destroyed; a
little of his furniture was saved, but his
family are in want Mr.. Davis has a
family-a wife and four little girls-who
are in great restitution. Elliott's shoe
shop was knocked down, and timbers
scattered. Reds blacksmith shop was
twisted like cork-screw, and the buggy
shop of w. G. Adams was blown away
and several vehicles injured and destroyed.
Every dwelling house in the place was
more or less injured, many were moved,
and only one business house is fit to be
occupied. The people stand guard over
their effects, while houses are being re-
paired. Every fence in the town, and
for many miles along the path of the
tempest, was destroyed. Several persons,
Mr.. Duke among others, were seriously
injured by falling timbers. Mr.. McFar-
land escaped from Higgins drug stors
just as it fell. The whole damage to the
village is not known, but must be i'm
mense. Many people are in want of thu
commonest necessaries of life, and mer
chants should, in every town, devils,
measures for their relief.
