Property Loss.

The loss of property aggregates $780,
600, which means something appalling
for the inhabitants of the peaceful lit
tie village. One hundred buildings have
been completely destroyed. Only six
structures remain intact, three in the
north and the same number in the
south part of the town. These COM
prise four residences, the schoolhouse
and one church. The population is in
pitiable condition. Those who lost
their homes, and there are about 500
of them, are absolutely without re-
sources and must depend on public
charity for sustenance and a chance to
begin life over again. The few who
escaped without injuries or loss of
property are so completely dazed that
they know not what to do.

The good work which this organiza-

cess which has attended their dealings
with the more outcast and forlorn COM
mands the appreciation Of all who SYM
pathize with the moral and spiritual
needs of the people. No doubt many OF
these will avail themselves Of this op-
portunity of showing their confidence
in such praiseworthy efforts.
The Salvation Army has set itself as
a goal of financial result the sum of
$50, which will be devoted to the main
tenance and extension of their many
beneficient agencies. All friends and
sympathizers who would like to give
offerings at this time are earnestly in
vited to do so.
Gifts need not of necessity take the
form OF monetary contributions. Mem
bers of the army say that offerings in
kind and Of any kind will be equally
acceptable. Nothing to eat, wear, or
look at will be refused
