road, running just to the south of it. Sev- eral hundred yards from MT. Ellard's house it struck a group of houses, which were razed to the ground The first one was occupied by Annie Reed colored The dam age to the house was about $1oO. Near by was an old store house, but at the time oc- cupied by Mrs. Annie Johnson, white, an aged widow.
 Only Serious Accident
 Here occurred the most serious accident of the whole morning. Mrs. Johnson's s house was torn down from over her, and all of the lumber piled directly on top of her body. As soon afterward as possible, her neighbors removed the debris from off her, but In doing so, walked all ovor the lumber under which sho was buried, be- fore they discovered that they were only increasing tho weight on her. She was finally gotten out and taken to the house of a neighbor, where every attention was given her. pr. Martin was called, and after examining her, he said that she was in very critical condition. Her house was valued at about $100.
 Across the street from Mrs. Johnson's house, was the Hominy Street Baptist church, colored Kindling wood is the best use to which the building can be put now, for 1t was totally destroyed. The loss was about $500.
 On either side of the church were two small negro houses, one of them having ten occupants and the other eight. AL though both houses shared the fate of the church, not one of the eighteen negroes was injured One of the houses was own ed and occupied by a plasterer named Threadguild. His house was valued at about S200.

Our Lost sense.

One of the greatest discoveries of
physiology is that we once had six
senses. What the lost sense was no one
knows, and probably no one will ever
know, but that our forefathers possessed
it there is no doubt, for the remains of
that part of the brain in which ii resid
ed are still to be seen in any one Of u.s.
These remains are simply small and
now perfectly useless little mass Of
brain substance called the pituitary
body. 1t consists of two tiny little
oval lobes joined together and lying in
a little cavity of the skull, strangely
named the sella turcica and situated
over and behind the nose.
1t is quite possible that it may have
enabled our forefathers to see in the
dark before lamps and candles were in
vented, or it may have placed them in
communion with ghosts and fairies, or
it may have been an organ that enabled
them to go home in bee line when they
lost their way in the primeval forests.
On the other hand, it is possible that
it was bad substitute for vision or
smell or hearing and died out when the
improved sense organ developed

near the city limits, but there is no
telling when he may strike out on his

of the family were ready for breakfast
at the appointed hour She wanted
them to understand that she was not
running hotel and that they must

selves
