the Irish problem of raising fine potatoes.
As far as have been able to ascertain,
planters have put i'm large corn crops this

up and doing well. s..-
Our townsman, Mr.. A. Lee, met with a

We are pleased to mention the fact that
our postmaster has at last moved into his

of the hadsomest stores III town, and it ap-
pears that it has been his desire to supply
the wants long felt In the Office as post

Rresbyterian Entertainment
awA Festival. tt

L
All tbose who had been looking forward
tn this event, which took place at Heuck's
Hall on last Friday evening, Goth inst,
had their most fattering anticiPstious
more than realized. II Is seldom one sees
such al array Of beauty a. graccl this oc-
casion, and the bright, intelligent, and
cultivated audience, was in striking accord
with the programme which was rendered.
The eager ard expectant ssthrong sat ia
the crowded Hall anxiously awaiting the
opening Of the entertainment, when bliss
Berthe Bowen gracefully appeared upon the
rostrum and began the programme for the
evening by singing in her musical, cultiva-
ted voice, "Robert, the Idol Of my Heart
This wa. highly applauded and gave uni
versal satisfaction. Next in order was y
Recitation" by Miss Lulsh Ragsdale; who,
in her original poem, ''sistor and l." hut
gathered fresh laurcls to Fay at the feet Of
her ver-attendant muse. The rendition
of this poem was exquisite. ... d. ..t
The two little stars of the evening,
Misses Della and Maggie Bridges, of sum
nit, next made their appearance and AL
,lcd new laurels to their reputation by
singing "Miss Brady's Daughter" Attrac-
tive and graceful, they will never fail to
win the applause of their audience. Being
Loudly cncord Jockey Hat and Feath-
err was sung with markell effect.
Tho pathetic drama, "Thc Daughter"
was admirably carried out and elected
much praise and applause.
"The Lake" sung by Mrs. Chas. Chris
man, was particularly fine, charm being |
added by the beautiful and Iii !ficult accom- |
painment performed by Mrs Carrie Eek
harit.
After the Golden Slippers, sung and
acted in costume by tho Misses Bridges,
the climax Of the entertainment was reach |
ed-Bctsy Baker! words cannot describe it
nor her! Miss Hattie Martin, or we should
have said, Betsy Baker, acted her part to
perfection. Prof. Coulon could not be sur
passed while Mr.. J. NJ. Martin and Miss
Mollie Daughtry sustained their reputa-
tons as first class amateurs.
Altogether the entertainment was as
near perfection as one Of the kind could
well be. w. j. NcGrath, A. Lewentl,al,
Jr, and John Seavey acquitted themselves
admirably in their respective roles.
Much credit is due the ladies of the Pres
byterian church for the excellent refresh
ments furnished at the Close of the even
ings, programme. From this source and
the entertainments combined, we learn that
$500 net was realized, which, with the
pleasure given their appreciatiye audience,
will go far to help to compensate for the
efforts and labor bestowed in behalf of the
success of the evening. When will Brook
haven again be favored with like enter
tainmentf
We return thanks to the ladies in charge
for appreciated courtesies.

In addition to this wholesale destruction
of property, the Town Hall aud Mayors
Office, the old and new Methodist Church,
the Baptist Church, the two school houses
and Institute, and IS dwellings, were
utterly wrecked. A number of horses and
mules were also killed. The aggregate
loss at both places, according to the rough
estimates we obtained, viii not fall for
short of s275, 200.
Several freight cars standing upon the
track were lifted from their places aud
wrecked, one being carried the distance
of 200 yards. Telegraph wires were pros
trated for mile, that being the width
of the storms track. Wilcox, telegraph
operator, who has been at this station Just
a week was blown from the hotel, carried
100 feet, and had both arms and one leg
broken. His condition is critical.
As characteristic of the noble Medical
Profession, they have responded nobly to
the call of suffering. DIR. w. NJ. Wroten,

Pierce of Beauregard, and DIR. J. T. Butler,
of Missouri, were all on the ground last
night, doing heroic work to relieve the
wounded and dying. But much as this
sort of aid is needed, and generously and
freely as it has been rendered, outside
help of different character will have to
be invoked. These people need food, they
need clothing, and they will need good
deal of money. We earnestly urge the
generous and humane everywhere to send
in their contributions as freely and soon
as possible. Cooked food, stimulants and
made-up clothing would be most accepta-
BILE just now. We are glad to be able to
state many have already responded to the
cry of need. Responsible relief committees
are being organized, and everything pos
sible will he done to relieve the suffering;
and we may also say all contributions will
be used to the best possible advantage.
These may be sent direct to the care Of
Capt. VIM Oliver, Wesson, or to Col. Har-
yey Thompson, Beauregard.
' A. J. Ferguson, living miles northeast
of town, had his dwelling completely de-
stroyed, and all of the family injured, the
extent of same not being definitely reported.
Several other farmers in the neighborhood
are reported to be injured and their pro-
perty destroyed. The extent of storm is as
yet unknown. 1t continued to pursue
northeasterly course, and as far az heard
from, its fury was undated.
In conclusion, we wish to return thanks
to Drs. Sexton and Butler, of Wcsson, and
Mr.. Frank Mcintosh and Col. Harvey
Thompson, of Beauregard, for appreciated
cOurtesies.

THE LATEST.

Since the foregoing report was first pub
lished, other visits to the sites of death
and disaster, have only revealed new and
more terrible ruin and misery. Language
utterly fails to convey any just conception
of the force of the winds, and the dire de-
struction and human suffering the storm
every where left i'll its track. The shat
tered and splintered timbers, which cover
the earth; the piles of debris, and tho
CHASTITY and mangled bodies of the wound
ed and dead were things which had to be
seen with the eye before any true cOncep-
ton could be formed of the reality.
We give below corrected list of tho
wEssoN DEAD,
to date. As will be noted, the names of
some contained in our FIRST report are not
dead: Miss Sallie Ford, aged 20, Mrs.
Wilkinson and son, aged Is; Edw ard AL
lens 2 children, aged respectively and 2;
VIM. Blackburn's son, aged -; Sam Bin
ion, aged Ia; Zelmer Laufiin, son of Nathan
Luafin; Mrs. Causey and little daughter
Berthe; Miss Duncan; Mrs. Saunders and
little son; in all Ii.
There were "a tenement houses destroy
ed in Wesson, and as near as we have been
able to gather, over seventy persons were left
upon the ground wounded. These people,
who are nearly all factory employees, de-
pendent upon their daily labor for subsst-
ence, lost household furniture, bedding,
and all they possessed, and are left for the
time being entirely destitute and depend
emit upon the humanity and charity Of
others.
The following is as near full list of the
&c.. wEssoN WOUNDED
as could be gathered by our reporter on
Tuesday. There were some others who
sustained slight injuries, but their names
could not be obtained:
Mary and Hattie Ford; W. G.
Black burn, seriously injured-re-
eovery doubtful; I. J. Lee, leg dislo-
Gated, face and head bruised; Lem

Lucy Duncan, together with their
mother, Mrs. Parmelia Duncan. pain
fully hurt; Mrs. Brinion, painfully
hurt; Annie Walker, a blind girl
badly injured; Mrs. Beard, badly
hurt, recovery doubtful; Ed Aliens
wife, badly hurt; Mrs. Frank Nc
Mahon, jaw broken and otherwise
bruised; Mrs. John Wallace, badly
injured; Lucy, slightly crippled; Mrs.
Ellen Beard, badly hurt, not likely
