 Nearly every business house in the town was damaged, the telephone wires were tangled and twisted, broken down and injured so that several days will be nec- essary to rearrange them satisfactorily. The new Guntersville Methodist church which was ready for use and would have been used next Sunday was blown from its foundation, warped and twisted so that it will have to be rebuilt from the foundation up. This was the most serious damage, as 1t was a new building which the people had erected at considerable cost, and had not been used.
 The negro Methodist church was demol- ished and taken entirely away, several outhouses /and negro dwellings were de- stroyed. On one vacant lot within three blocks of the court house eighteen large pine trees averaging 30 inches in diame- ter are piled in one pile, hundreds of trees were blown in every direction and yet no person was injured

Do not spend your money fooishly
because you have so little of It. but
save what you can from month to
month and invest IL in something that
will multiply many fold. The mil
lionaires of this section were laborlng
men a generation ago and they pur-
sued this course while most of their
comrades blew It all in. The pru-
dent ones saw that fuel was good

It.. and they bought coal land. uttle

Keep this object lesson IN mind.
The opportunities of that earlier time

will consume oil as a fuel. so that

South America. II Is plain to be seen

Pennsylvania have been in the past
All thoughtful men can see that the
