to wage earners, fences and trees blown
away, trinkets and personal property,
bills due to merchants, nor the loss to
those owning $4,000 worth OF stock in
the Gainesville cotton mills.
These losses are not necessarily total,
but the future must tell what amount
will be paid. For the present. at least,
they are losses. and in the aggregate
Will amount to $15o,0JO. which. added to
that given above in detail OF property

the world by the press, making That esti-
mate practically correct, viz. S600,0Co.
AS to relief: The treasurer OF the re-
lief association has received UP to date
a;boue $4,000 In cash. and the commissary
for supplies reports tile receipt of cloth
ing. furniture, household and kitchen
furniture, etc, worth, approximately
$4,000 OF these amounts much money
has been paid out and many supplies
have been issued.
With the help Of our good women. the
