 A fine gold watch and between $6 and $7 in money was in the clothes. and their owner was so overjoyed at getting his clothing and other posses sions back in safety that he gave MT. l oekhart check for S10. with in s1ructions to divide it with MT.

THE ERUPTION OF vEsUVlUs.

Recent reports from Naples relative to the eruption of old Mt. Vesuvius gre of reassuring nature and slow ]y the old volcano is resuming normal conditions Not however, until it has wrought terrible slaughter and dam sse to both life and property. It is estimated that at least thousand lives were lost during this eruption, hundreds of thousands rendered tenn porarily homeless and millions of dol lars worth of property destroyed. The Inhabitants of the towns and villages that were destroyed at the base of the mountain by lava and ashes have set themselves to the task of clean ing up and removing the debris, and ere long the present catastrophe will take it's place in history along with the numerous others recorded against the cid volcano in the past. That people will continue to live in such locality in large number proves how difficult it is to persuade them to abandon property interests or forsake familiar surroundings.
 The history of Vesuvius as an ac- tive volcano dates no further back than the year A. D. 79, when the ter rible eruption occurred which buried the cities of Pompeii and Herculane- nm. Other smaller places were also destroyed at the same time. Pompeii was buried under about twenty feet of ashes, and Herculaneum was GOV cred deep in mud. The loss of life largely due to the fact that the peo- pie did not know that they were liv ing in the shadow of a volcano and did not heed the warnings which the mountain gave Prior to the erup- iion of 79 the volcanic character of Vesuyius had not been suspected. as there was no record of a prior erup- tion or even of activity
 Since the first great eruption Yes uvius has been at all times an active volcano. and there have been frequent eruptions, some of them probably more violent than the original one. It is only in comparatively recent times that the volcano has emitted leva during it's periods of activity Had Tompeii and 1efculaneum been de- stroyed by lava instead of ashes and mud the world would have been 7e. rrived of the vast collection of arch geological treasures which the un- earthins of the ruined cities has de Veloped
 There is. of course, no comparison whatever between the present ornp- tion of Vesuyius or any eruption oi ti'af volcano, in fact, and the fright- fll catastrophe which befel the Is land Of Martinique a few Teaes ag9 through the eruption of MoHt Pelee That volcano had been harmless for fc long and was considered so nealIg cXhncf that the people of the lawn If g..

HITCH !N SAiF OF BONDS.
Jonesboro Council Finds That Three improvement Districts Must Be formed for Watek
 h;ght ard Sewers.

At Jonesboro the matter of municipal waterworhs, electric lights and a sewerage system has met an unexpected stum- bling block. At a recent coun- cil meeting Commissioners West brooke and E. c. Stuck appeared and explained that the bonds which it had announced had been sold would not be taken by the parties until the property owners had signed separate petitions for the water and light and the sew craze Improvements.
 This, MT. Westbroolle ex- plained, was because there was some wording in the law the improvement being referred to as any ''single improvement" :" whereas the improvement dis trict under way comprises liter ally more than one or a single improvement, in that it contem- plated the purchase of the water works and light plant and the construction of sewers. The bond purchasers attorney had raised this question after the de- cision had been made to pur- chase the bonds. The view of the improvement that had been taken by the commissioners was that it was one improvement.
 MT. Westb; coke said that the only remedy for this situation was to order a new improvement petition for each district one for the waterworks purchase, an- other for the electric light plant purchase and another for the construction of sewers. MT. Westbrooke explains that the parties with whom the bonds are being negotiated want them in three portions, so that they can be held independently. Thus one is made for water, one for light and the third for sewers.
