of handsome styles ever
shown in Washington.
Exclusiveness and quality
are apparent throughout the
stock, which comprises the
same ultra-fashions shown in
the best stores of New York

almost cut in two, as we do
not wish to carry them over.
These are splendid bargains
in the highest grade of shoes.

the nervous man, who talks at the top of
his voice.
"Of course. 1t is answered the grave

out of business one of these days. But
that's no reason for you and me quitting
work to worry about it, Is it?'

'The trouble with this world" said the

going to an election and voting their own
way, when 1 could tell them exactly what
they ought to do"

A Noxubee and Piekens Cyclone.

Saturday night, Dec, pod, cyclone,
which appears to have had its origin in
southeast Noxubee. visited a section
between Cooksville and the Bigbee
river, and was destructive to life and
property. 1t was about $50 yards wide,
and its course is marked by wrecked
houses, barns, fences, etc, We srst
heard of it about a mile south of Cooks
vile, where the Fph ISparkman two
story house was demolished, as was also
the furniture of Nj. JAS. Sparkman,
which was stored in the second story.
It went in northeast course and struck
the house of a negro named Andy Weir,
then Coleman's Beale place was badly
damaged, then Mr.. Jno. r. Windham S
place felt the full force of the storm,
and his loss is in the thousands, some
say S., 600 or Sc, 900 is probably his
loss. A negro boy was killed here and
several more hands were Ibadly hurt.
A number Of his work stock were kill
ed, and several were so badly hurt they
had to be shot. Thirteen cabins were
destroyed on this place, the store house
blown away aud goods ruined, A large
tree was blown across his carriage
house; his dwelling was moved several
feet off the blocks, and it will have to
be rebuilt, 1t next struck the south
end of Mr.. Lee Windham's place and
six or seven cabins were !blown down
His loss is FIVE or six hundred dollars,
1t then went to the Bigbee river, and if
any damage was done on the east side
we have not heard of it.
We sympathize with Tour friends in
their loss and would like to know that
they were insured against such disast
ers We are sincerely glad to know
they escaped with their lives.
