Card of Thanks,

We wish through medium of the JIM
PLEcvTE to extend to the good people of
Jefferson our sincerest gratitude for
their sympathy and assistance during
our dire disaster of April Goth. This
was our first experience in which hui
man sympathy and assistance could be
fully appreciated. When all that we
had accumulated during the four years
of our married life was instantly swept
into chaos, our depression of spirit
could only be overcome by the thought
that we were spared to live among a
people whose nobility of character was
such as that demonstrated by the citi-
zens of Jefferson. This card is not a
mere formality-it is poor expression
of gratitude that is felt.
l am happy to announce that we have
30 far completed our new home, built
upon the site of the one destroyed by
the cyclone, that we are now living in
it. Our loss exceeded $500, bnt with
life and health spared, we will regain
it in course of time. l will now be at
my office from 8 a. m. to p. M. and
work in the cool of the day.
Our disaster was bad, but like almost
all other disasters, it could have been
worse. Very few bad things happen in
this world that are as bad as they could
be. This is very foreibly illustrated by
the story ofthe old darkey whose con-
ISOLATION in every calamity was, sit
could be worse" One night man dis
gnised himself as Satan and waylaid
the old darkey and caught him. He
placed the old darkey upon his shoul-
ders and started down the road telling
him that he was taking him to perdi-
ton. After awhile Satan said, "This
is awful bad, uncle, to be carried off to
perdition like this eyes sab, boss,''
answered the darkey, "but it could be
wuss." Satan then said: 81 don't see
anything worse than to be CARR d off to
perdition. eyes sab, Marse Satan,"
he answered, "you see you could NV

to de bad place STEAD o. you totin me. "
Very respectfully,
