The town Of Yorkville caught Its
full share Of the wind and rain storm
that spent it's force throughout this
section Monday afternoon and night.
The wind was unusually severe and
the water came along with 1t in q vol
ume that seemed to suggest cloud
burst. It has not been practical to
gather full details Of all the damage
that was done; but few circumstances
are sufficient to give an idea Of the
force Of the storm. A cap spire on the
north corner Of the Presbyterian
church tower was lifted off its base
and thrown into the church yard. A
fire wall on the north end Of the resi-
dence Of DR.. A. Y. Cartwright fell into
the lane, crashing some fifty or sixty
telephone wires and leaving them in
broken tangle. A part Of the roof OF
the cotton seed oil mill was riped OF
and the York Cotton mill store was
seriously damaged. Fences were blown
down, and numerous window lights
were shattered. The wind came
from the northeast and came in
a steady gale, its greatest force
lasted for five minutes or more.
This was at about 4.3O o'clock in the
afternoon. During the night at about
10 o'clock, the gale again increased In
velocity until it was almost as severe
as in the afternoon.
Mr.. Thomas c, Dunlap, a we'll
Dknown and highly esteemed citizen Of
Yorkville, died at his home on East
Jefferson street last Sunday afternoon
at 4.30 o'clock Of pneumonia. He had
been Ill but short time, having been
at his desk in the bank up to the pre-
vious Monday. His death, therefore
came as quite a shock to the whole
community, including many Of his in
innate friends. Mr.. Dunlap was a ma
tive Of Tennessee. He served through
the war on the Confederate side, and
settled In Yorkville with his family In
the early seventies. His first work
here was as a salesman for Mr.. T. M.
Dobson. He afterward went into bus
mess for himself in partnership with
his brother-in-law, Mr.. ]. ]. Smith,
now Of Glover, and the late H. w.
Hope. Later he has been employed
principally as book-keeper, in which
calling he was a past master. For
several years past he has been book
keeper for the Loan and Savings bank,
He has always been ready and willing
to discharge to the best Of his ability
whatever duty he was called upon to
perform for community or church, and
was generally regarded as a most USE
full citizen. He was a member OF the
town council. He leaves a widow,
three sons and one daughter. The
sons are Mr.. VIM. T. Dunlap, Of Char
lotte, N. c., DR.. Charles Dunlap, of
Houston, Texas, and Mr.. T. c. Dunlap,
Jr., Of Yorkville. The daughter is Miss
Sadie Dunlap. The funeral took place
from the house yesterday morning at
II o'clock, the services being conducted
by Rev. w. G. Neville.
The Finch club Of Yorkville, gave
a valentine reception to the K. M. M.
A. cadets at the opera house last Fri
day night. 1t was a delightful affair.
The hall was beautifully decorated
with pink and white hearts and ever
greens. Refreshments were served,
and the entertainment consisted Of
games, contests, dancing. Those pres
ent were: Annie McCaw with Keene
