virtue of the figure which he uses, you
can imagine you see, over there fiji the
lower row, righteous Abel, and Enoch,
who walked with God" Higher up,
you recognize Noah, founder of a new
world, and Abraham, father of the
faithful. Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses
and David are, one after another, sim
gled out by the minds eye. But with
all the list enumerated by Paul in the
eleventh chapter of Hebrews, there are
an immense company besides, who.
though not so well known, stand for
a class in which you and | are most
closely concerned. These are men and
women who have helped mold our
character by their witnessing power.
Some wonderfully close ties bind us
to the unseen world and we give them
a place in Paurs cloud of witnesses,
and know that hey are helping us be
strong, because they themselves have
overcome. 1t l. not necessary to give
instances; you know, brother; you
know, sister, where your treasure is,
there viii your heart be also
The mighty host of witnesses COM
passing us is composed of those who
wrestled with the temptations of time
and sense, Just as you and | are doing.
The same means by which they over
came are open 10 us. We have millions
more witnesses than David or Joseph
had, yet they We're the stronger be-
cause of those that witnessed before
them. Our opportunities are vastly
superior, hence c1r responsibility Is
much greater, because of the added
witnessing of the Christian centuries.
As nation we do well TO remember
our beloved dead, and, better still, with
Paul, TO place them amongst that great
cloud of witnesses, eagerly watching
us who are left behind to guard the
sacred liberty and institutions they
safeguarded for US. The names of
Washington, Lincoln and Mckinley,
together with a host of others on the
American Roll of Honor, will incite TO
consecrated living the generations yet
to come. These all died in faith, not
having received the promise; but hay
ing a vision of the coming grandeur OF
their beloved country and its place in
blessing the families of the earth.
They have left us the inheritance that
we, when our race shall have been
run. may witness in turn to our sue
cessors May you and l prove faith
full, uniting our citizenship inseparably
with our religion.

STORM IN THE SOUTH.
STRIKES GAINESVILLE, GA WITH
AWFUL FURY.

Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1903-06-10

Eighty-five men, women and children
dead, forty more fa1ally injured, and
property loss of 100000 is the result OF
a cyclone which struck Gainesville, Ca,
New Holland and White sulphur. sub
urbs, Monday afternoon. The death list
is imperfect, not all the bodies having
been Identified Many of them were mau-
glei beyond recognition, the only means
of Identification being the records of the
two cotton mills in which most of the
victims worked
The Geath-dealing storm appeared sud
denly n little before O'Clock and with
in two minutes il had killed nearly hun
dred persons, torn two stories from the
iive-foor brick factory of the Gainesville
cotton mills, demolished almost 200 cot
tages, RACED two brick stores, and blown
down innumerable outbuldings BY what
appears TO be miracle, the cyclones
fury was confined to the outskirts of the
city, the main business and residence por-
ton not being touched. Torrents of rain
accompanied the wind, but within five
minutes after its first onslaught the sun
was shining upon a scene of fearful desc
lation. The list of the dead is confined
mainly to operatives of the Gainesville
cotton mills and the PacOiet cotton mills,
two-thirds of whom were women aud chill
dren.
Work of an Instant.
The cyclone did its appalling work in
an incredibly short time. 1t appears to
have swept down from the southwest,
striking the Gainesville mills with roar
like the report of artillery After lifting
two stories from this structure it swept
on to the northward. leaving n trail Of
destruction along Summit street, which
is inhabited almost exclusively by ne
eroes. Nearly a hundred cottages of col
ored people on this street were leveled
to the ground, but by a fortunate circum-
stance the tenants were all absent. hav-
ing left the city in the morning to take
part in a negro picnic.
The furious wind next descended on
the plant of the Paeolet cotton mills at
New Holland, two miles from the South
ern Railroad station. This is one of the
largest cotton mills in the South, employ
ing more than 600 hands The I'M
spared the, Pacolet factory, but en- 2
demolished a hundred of its cottages
standing near and tenanted by its opera
tives. Here the fatalities were greatest,
upward of thirty-fye persons being
buried in the ruins of the cottages. Bod
les were blown hundreds of yards and
many of them when picked up bore no
semblance to humanity. The trunk of
one young boy was found with the head
decapitated as If by the guillotine.
From New Holland the tornado swept
onward to the east in the direction of
White Sulphur. a town of about 100 per-
sons. and caused considerable loss of life.
The bodies of most of the dead in the
two cotton mills were fearfully torn and
mangled, the skulls of many of them
were crushed and the limbs broken. The
property loss. it is now estimated, viii
reach about 100000. The heaviest los
ers are the Gainesville cotton mills. 500
600, and the Pacniet mills 100000. The
ether losses of individuals and firms
range from $1,000 and less. upward.

WILMINGTON DROPS FROM SECOND
Displaced BY New York in the Race
for tho Pennant.

tor tho Pennant.
The predominating feature of last
weeks playing in the National Basket
ball League race was the exceptionally
fine work OF the Trenton and Burling-
ton teams. These two clubs have been
considered easy prey for Camden, Will
mington and New York since the sec
ond series opened. and in consequence
they have beeen forced to hold posi-
tions near the bottom OF the ladder
Hast week there was a change which
benefited the two up-Jersey teams and
lowered the percentage OF the three
leaders.
Trenton started the week by winning
from New York, then trimming Com
shohocken and wound up by trouncing
Camden, giving them three victories
and incidentally helping to close Up
the gap with Wilmington. Burlington
got away with two games. New York
and Conshhocken falling before the
Shoe Pegs. They have the same figure
I'm the percentage columns Trenton,
giving both teams a fighting chance to
beat out Wilmington and New York,
providing that brace can be main
tained.
Camden got a victory from Whining
ton through weird decision by the
referee, then fell down before Trenton.
The Electrics, however, have n COM
Portable hold on first place, and will
evidently hold 1t. Judging from the
erratic manner in which New York
and Wilmington are playing. Will
mington dropped two games during the
week and as New York was fortunate
enough TO capture one out OF three
the Gothamites, displaced the former
team for second place. Conshohockene
Losing streak WAS continued. The

At the prices being offered by
the sugar factory at Grand juno
tion for the growing of sugar beets
there is not the least doubt but
what it would prove quite profit
able for the farmers of this locality.
Then too, if it can be demonstrated
that this section can grow beets
enough to guarantee factory at
Delta it will be only a matter OF
time until this will be done. M
town ever amounts to much with
ont a certain amount of manufac-
turing interests and no section OF
the country ever becomes fully
developed without tirst-class towns
or cities are situated in its terri
tory. Therefore it is essential
that both the farmer and business
man work for manufacturing
industries.
