AT Tightening Speed. On the 9th
ult., Prof. II. H.. Hover, of Helena,
with his wife and five children. left
Helena, Mon. where they reside, on
n construction train to The Mullen
tunnel, on the Northern Pacific Road
for the purpose OF going over q tenn
porary track across the main range of
the Rocky Mountains. This track is
very steep and crooked, and, as it
crosses at an elevation OF 1000 feet,
commands splendid view ofthe sur.
rounding mountains. No accident
occurred Oh crossing TO the west side,
but while coming back the party had
an experience which they will remem.
Der till iheir dying day. About half
way up the mountain the caboose con.
tanning the party was left standing on
the track, when an alarm was raised
that runaway train was coming
down upon them. Professor Bower
on the instant looscned the break. and
the car started down tile mountain,
pursued by the runaway train OF 10.
connective and eight cars loaded with
rails. Soon the car was going at the
rate Of mile a minute. The ladies'
were screaming with fright, and il
was with the greatest difficulty that
they were kept from leaping from the
car, which would have been certain
death. The caLoose shot down the
mountain, around sharp curves and
along tine cliffs above deep gorges.
while the runaway train came thin
dering along behind with increasing
speed The engineer remained al his
post clutching the lever; but revers.
ing his engine was of no avail in
checking it's wild course, and only i'm.
creased the danger Of its flying the
track. Soon lie caboOse was over
taken, but as it was goirg almost
as fast rs the train. there were no
serious consequences, and all rushed
down the mountain together. Ca.
boOse, locomotive and iron cars all
kept the track, and, although the
speed attained was terrific, all reach.

Hard to Hold.

Prince Beasley, alias Jim Gray,
colored, was arrested last Monday by
deputy marshal Haun at the farm of
Mr.. VIM. Black, three miles east Of
here. He was charged with larceny
in Weakley county, had been arrested
and escaped three times, once from
jail. He was turned over to Gus. Ed
wards, deputy sheriff, who stared
up the Central road with him on
Tuesday. While the train was run
ming between Idlewild and Bradford,
he leaped from it and again escaped.
He was hand>cuffed at the time. We
guess the next time he is caught he
will be hand. cuffed, have his ankles
shackled. tied fast to the seat, and
have three or four men staEd guard
over him with shotguns. He is em'
phatically lively negro.

FRUIT AND VEGETABLES.

Cherries are ripe, but scarce
Irish potatoes are being used from
our gardens now.
Gadsden shipped two thousand
crates of Strawberries last Monday.
Two or three quite cool days this
week were not good for the strawber-
ries.
Some of the fruit men of Henry
county predict an abundant crop in
their section.
The dry weather has damaged the
berry crop here very badly, and it
will be cut short.
The first crate of Georgia peaches
was expressed from Macon to New
York Monday evening, They were
of the early Alexander variety.
Chattanooga is boasting greatly
over her strawberry shipments. Two
or three car loads leave Milan every
day, the product of this section.
-, -, We hear it said that Mr.. John
Tucker has the finest field of wheat
in this neighborhood. He sowed
early, and thinks that accounts for it.
We made raid on Parson Holts
garden last Wednesday and provided
ourself with 6ne assortment of veg
etable. He still wears the blue rib
bon as the best gardener in town.
Mr. Cobell last Sunday sent us a
box of his immense Longfellow straw.
berries. We do not know of finer
berry for family use. They are large,
luscious, scarlet colored and sweet.
Crystal Springs, Miss, has one
hundred acres in strawberries, eighty
five in Irish potatoes, one hundred III
tomatoes, ten in onions, one hundred
in peas, one hundred and twenty-five
in beans and two thousand in peaches

NO.12.

The Wesleyan Theological Society
of the Memphis Conference held its
session at Mckenzie, May 1917.
Rev. Guilford Jones, d. D., presi.
dent, was present and opened prompt
ly at the hour appointed. Rev. T.
q. Written was Secretary. The
questions discussed involved some of
the most important points in theolos
gy, and the earnestness with which
the members entered and continued
the discussion was evidence of their
interest. The moot trial of a sun,
posed delinquent brother involved
many of the most intricate points of
law and their application in our
church courts, SO that it was not only
deeply interesting but very instruet>
i've to all present. Rev. w. r. Har.
ris, ID. d., was elected president for
the next year, and Rev. G. w. Will
son secretary. The Society will hold
its next session in Milan, May, 1884,
when our citizens may promise them>
selves feast of fat things.

cyclone struck our city, completely demoI-
lshlng l35 dwellings and totally destroying
a large number. Others were .unroofed
and otherwise badly damaged, ffty-one
persons were killed outright and about 100
wounded, several of them fatally. The
ruined houses were nearly all owned and
occupied by mechanics and laborers, who
lost everything they had in the
world, except the clothing upon their
persons. In many cases the heads of
families are injured. The cyclone entered
the county at its western border, and in
its course destroyed the crops and build
ings on about forty farms. Others lying
contiguous were damaged. The relief
committee has detailed list of 1O4 fami-
lies who are entirely destitute. We ap-
peal to the public for aid. The leading
business men of the city are heavy losers,
and cannot therefore do as much for the
sufferers asEthey would wish. They have,
however, contributed, ,liberally. None of the
public buildings have escaped damage. Our
school building is destroyed, the court
house is unroofed, the churches are Sc
riously injured, one of them, the Metho-
dit, demolished; the elevators and ware
houses are in ruins. Provisions are plen-
tiful, clothing and carpenters are needed;
100000 expended in tools, lumber, etc,
for the families would scarcely put them
on their feet sufficiently to enable them to
help themselves. All contributions are in
the hands of thoroughly organized COM
mlttee OF twenty-one citizens, and may be
forwarded to any one of the undersigned.

IN this hour OF darkness and disaster will
not be in vain. He has been doing a
grand work in Rochester and now has a
herculean task before him. Help him
with heart and hand. The following is
the circular:
ROCHESTER,, Aug. 24.-Dear brother:
The terrible cyclone of August 21st., SO
completely destroyed our church that it
will be necessary to rebuild it from the
foundation. Six thousand dollars will be
required to rebuild. Fourteen of our
families are hopeless and destitute. Many
members of the church are
among the heaviest losers. These
have recently given according to their
ability to relieve the suffering of others
We are unable to meet the demand upon
US, and therefore appeal for help. We
must rebuild at once. The interests OF
Methodism in Rochester are too important
to be allowed to suffer for lack of a church
building. Will you read this appeal tc
your people Sabbath forenoon, raise al
the money you can for US, and send the
money to Rev. j. Stafford, Rochester
