The two weeks of tent meetings under
the direction of Rev. B. Cullis closed on
Sunday evening with the tent crowded
and hundreds of listeners in the street.
The last sermon of Bro. Cullis from the
text kiss the son lest he be angry with
thee" was a masterpiece of logic and
eloquence. The Baptist church has in
vited Mr.. Cults to become their pastor
indefinitely and it is probable that Mr..
Culllis will commence labor as pastor
with the people of Audubon the first Sun
day in September. Look for announce
ment next week. No service at Baptist
church Aug. 2Sth, except s. s. at l0a. M.
and B. Y. P. U. at 7 p. m.

this and said no more and was declared
nominated.
AS quick as thought the convention
turned to the nomination of recorder
and in less time than it takes to tell il
Fred Polzin was nominated by accla.
nation. He hadn't time to decline.
j. M. Graham was nominated for attor-
ney in the same rapid way. That was
part of the slate.
A motion was then made to nominate
S. A. Graham by reclamation for mem.
Der of the board. Mr.. Graham was too
quick for them and declined. Sam Nc
Gaffin was the next victim of motion
to nominate by reclamation, but as
several voted mo- his nomination was
passed, as was also NJ Kerwin for the
same reason. A motion that John Nc
CURE be nominated by reclamation
brought that gentleman to his feet de-
clining to be a candidate. A motion was
then made that the convention proceed
by ballot, but was not put. Consider
able confusion resulted from the chair
man not being able to call the names of
gentlemen desiring recognition. There
might have been several more gentlemen
decline if the chairman had been able
to recognize those who arose. There
was also good deal of confusion caused
by gentlemen falling over each other to
keep out of the way of nominations.
A motion to nominate VIM, Hensley by
reclamation was put but voted down and
the convention proceeded to ballot. Then |
followed the withdrawal of Mr.. Nc
Gaffin, VIM. Hensley and M. Kerwin, |
but Mr.. Hensley having received a !
of the votes was declared the
nominee.
AT meeting of the central committee
Sheriff Jones was chosen chairman of |
the committee for this year.
Considerable wonder was expressed at
so many devoted democrats declinin to
allow their names to go on the ticket. 1t
was very unusual. Several theories are
advanced. One is that democrats are
becoming more modest and do not de.
sire the honors and emoluments of Of
ice, and another that they think the re-
publicans have an unusually strong
ticket and that this year the signs indi-
cate republican success and that they
10 not care to be candidates when the
chances are all against them. 1t surely
cannot be that they are less devoted to
he principles of their party of Jefferson
and jackson.
Where were the populists this year?
Echo answers "where." They didn't ap-
pear in the convention. Were they
hrowu over?

Kingston, Sept. 24-Mail advices
which reached here Friday brought
the details of the hurricane disaster
at the islands of ST. Vincent, St.
Lucia and Barbados, showing that
the first accounts were not exagger-
ateG. At ST. Vincent about 300 lives
were lost, not counting the loss of
life suffered through the destruction
of shipping. The coast is strewn with
wrecks of vessels. many being from
Barbados The storm ragged from
10 in the morning of September II
until 2 in the afternoon. At the cap
itai Bridgetown, fully 200 houses
were demolished while the suburbs of
Coyheath and Montebello were oblit-
Grated. The following towns and
villages were destroyed: Rose Place,
Grand Sable, Atnosvale, Mount
Pleasant, Argyle, Wallilabo, Barroul-
lilo, Layon, Buccament, and the second
city, Georgetown, was considerably
damaged. No approximate estimate
OF the pecuniary damage has as yet
been reached, but the island is prac-
tioally ruined.
St. Lucia suffered mostly from
rain and landslides, the deluge last
ing ten hours. Serious damage was
sustained at Mornetabao, where an
avalanche three miles long was pre-
cipitated,, covering the valley to the
width of mile, overwhelming Ruby
and a couple of other estates. The
city of Castries suffered from a tidal
wave which swept over half of the
town and wrecked portion of Bay
street. Thirteen lives were lost.
The hurricane struck the island of
Barbados on the night of the 10Th,
sweeping away 10000 houses. This
left three-Quarters of the inhabitants
homeless. over 100 people were killed,
as far as known.
