In assigning the delegates, the
committee came across the Beacon
Hill name, and trusting to fate that
no offense would be given, five ST.

were sent to that address. When the
tribe arrived with their para pher-

When one OF the women, who was in

MUNIFICENT DONATION.

It will be remembered that the
Methodist Episcopal Church in
West Alexandria was demolished
by a tornado several weeks ago.
The etlifire had been but recently
constructed and is supposed to
have cost only about $500. Mr..
j. T. Powers, prominent and
successful merchant of Alexand-
ria, who has been in i'll health for
some time, was at Pass Christian,
Miss, when the news Of the DIES
tructiOn Of the building was com.
municated to him.
lie ut once wrote to the Rev. r.
z. Grace, Pastor OF the Church, to
have new edifice erected to cost
$1,000 and to draw ON him for the
amount. He was joined by Mrs.
Powers in the offer to rebuild the
Church.
Mr.. and Mrs. Powers have re-
turned to Alexandria since the
letter was written aud renewed
the offer. The generous donation
has been accepted and commit
tee appointed to superintend the
construction. Hence, it is reason.
ably certain that the people OF
West Alexandria will in the near
future have larger aud more
commodious house of worship than
the Que dismantled by the violence
of the elements.
This is the most munificent do
nation for church purposes ever
made in the history Of the Parish
by people OF comparatively limited
resources.
