Met TRAGIC Death.

The cyclone that swept away the new
town ol Snyder in Oklahoma territory
last week was one of the most destruct-
i've of life and property yet recorded.
The town had about one thousand in
habitants and fully ten per cent of this
number met violent death. The death
list contains the names of Mr.. j. w.
Hudson his wife and five children who
were victims of the storm. Mr.. Hud-
son left Fulton, Itawamba county, the
last of April to find home in the west.
He and his family had only been in
Snyder about week when they met
death in the storm. His family consis-
ted of himself, his wife and five children.
OF this number only one child survives.
Mr.. Hudson served Itawamba county
four years as sheriff, and was we'll
known to everybody in his county as
well as to many people in Lee county.
The tragic end of the family is the
source Of deep regret by all who knew
them.

your own enslavement, against

subjugation, with all their atten-
dant horrors.
I'm conclusion, your command
ing General congratulates you on
the brilliant prospects which
everywhere prevade our cause.
The independence of the Confed
crate States is a fixed, accomplish
ed, immutable fact. The ray Of
peace is glimmering like bright
sunshine around the dark cloud.
Be true to yourself and your
country a little while longer, and
you will soon be enabled toreturn
to your desolated homes, there to
collect together once more your
scattered household goods.

COMmENC CEMENT EXERCISES
OF TUPELO GRADED SCHOOL
Sermon Preached Sunday Morning at Court House by Mr.
Marshall. Graduating Exercises at the
Opera House Monday Evening

by frequent applause. The men,
bers Of the class were as follows:
Miss Juanita Clifton, Address of
Welcome; Miss Ida Porter, Class
Dissertationist; Miss Louise Fra
zer, Class Historiographer; Miss
Mary Heard Cunningham, Class
Horoscopist; Miss Virginia Har-
ris, Class Testatrix; Miss Eleanor
Blair, Class Essayist.
Diplomas were delivered to the
class by Hon. j. @. Robins, on
behalf of the trustees. Mr.. Rob-
ms remarks were practical ard
full of thought for meditation by
the student body generally. He
reviewed the scope of the graded
school work which he outlined as
preparatory to the academic or
collegiate course. He urged all
to follow up their efforts and
studies and secure a finished edu-
cation if possible.
Prof. S. G. Tate in making the
closing announcements stated
that he would not return to Tu-
pelo as principal of the school
next session but would engage in
other than school work. This an
nouncement was received with
much regret by the patrons of
the school and the public geaer-
ally. Prof. Tate has been con-
nected with the school four years,
two years as assistant, and two
as principal, and during this time
has won the people of the entire
town as friends. His leaving is
regretted by all who trust that
he may meet with deserved sue
cess in whatever he may under
take.
The trustees have not yet Sc
lected the faculty for the session
of 1905-1906.

by Rev. C. K. Marshall, followed
by the address of welcome, de-
