grander since hundreds of her best citi-

looking as they do to the future. TheJ
are proud of the way the citizens respond

assistance. Within a few minutes over
$1,000 cash was subscribed and within an
hour the relief committee was seeking
those who were in distress.
"There will be no great amount of suf-
fering, although many deserving people
will feel the cruel pangs of distress until

homes But nobody will actually suffer;
| there will be no suspension of activities
longer than necessary to make repairs 10
damaged factories. and we look forward
confidently to new and handsomer BLOCKS
taking the place of the destroyed Meyer
Neville Hardware company and Tom Lyle
| company, the two greatest sufferers o.
| the cyclone. We look to an early clearing
| away of the debris, the temporary stor-
ing of the merchandise and the erection
of handsome and creditable business
blocks on the old sites.
MERIDIAN has her great opportunity just
at hand We need only to put our should
err to the wheel All opposition to growth

tbe south has "A more patriotic or more
faithful citizenship
.To those who are stricken in heart
we bow in sorrow with them, ana TO an
who have sustained losses to thelr PROF
erty interests we extend our proloulid
sympathies. but as an all wise providence
never directs anything wrongtully' pqe
for the better, we urge every man. Woin-

rebuild the destroyed districts ana make
it finer than ever before.
