THERE is no disguise or circumlocu-
ton in London about paying attentions
to heiresses. When an heiress comes
out in society she begins to receive pro-

received as many as POO in the first
month. The candidates do not expect
to be accepted, but they are willing to
take the chances.-Albany Journal.

Some three hundred houses are swept from
the face OF the earth, among which are the
County Court House. public school buildings.
Methodist and Baptist churches, Supreme Court
house, roundhouss Of the Louisville & Nash
vile Railroad. and many of the le ading business
houses are also total wrecks, their contents
being buried beneath the debris. A raging fire
which broke out also destroyed much of the
property which might otherwise have been
saved from the ruins. We are sorely in distress
and are forced to call upon the CHARTS BILE peo-
pie OF The country for money and such other
assistance - they may feel able to contribute.
Money IL needed more than provisions, as there
arc a few business houses that may be able to
supply the demand. Send cash contributions,
II possible, to GKoRaE w. EVANS,
