The John II. Sparks Shows.

Everyone knows the famous
Sparks shows, has enjoyed the ex-
cellent performances given here be-
fore and remember them as clean
and respectable exhibitions.
Mr.. Sparks takes pleasure in an
nouncing to his friends and patrons
in this vicinity that he has more
than doubled the size of his show
since it was last seen here, and he
has expended a big fortune in secur-
ing the very best acts and features
that could be found, regardless of
expense, for the great new show that
he will bring to Scooba on Monday,
April 2nd. A whole new train of
cars, the finest and largest that were
ever built, have been purchased to
transport the immense parapherna-
liza, ann it will be worth while to
look this splendid train over, for it
is really wonder. 1t would be i'm
possible to enumerate here the long
list of extraordinary acts and feat
ures that will be presented, but Mr..
Sparks has always fulfilled every
promise made to the public, and the
mere announcement that his show
is more than twice as large, and its
daily expenses are three times as
much as before, is sufficient to draw
a great crowd to town to see the ex-
hibition.
The prices of admission will re-
main precisely as heretofore. Every
one should come to town in time to
see the splendid street parade at
noon.

Report of the Grand Jury.
March Term. 1906.

TO the Hon. Robert r. Cochran,
Judge of III Judicial District Ct
the State of Mississippi:
we, the Grand Jury empanelled
for the March Term, 1905, of the Cir
cult Court of Kemper County, beg
leave to make this, our final report:
After being in session five days,
and having examined one hundred
witnesses, we find forty true bills of
Indictment.
We have had the p~oof-house of
our county examined by one of our
body, and find the same to be well
kept.
We have examined the county jail,
and urge that the repairing of same,
already contracted for by the Board
of Supervisors, be pushed to COM
pletion as early as practicable; and
we further recommend that the SAN
itary condition of same be inn
proved.
We have examined also the books
and accounts of the various county
officers, and find them neatly and
correctly kept.
Now, with reference to crime in
our county-we find, after due DELHI
GRAFTON, that 'scrap-shooting'' and
the illicit sale of whiskey are the
greatest evils with which we have
to contend. But it Is with a great
deal of appreciation and pride that
we express u belief that crime
generally is on the decrease in the
county, and for this purpose alone
we desire to heartily endorse the
vigorous and effective prosecution
of crime by our able District Attor-
ney and the severe and proper pun
ishment inflicted by your Honor.
Now, in conclusion, we desire to
thank your Honor for your able
charge and the District Attorney for
his liberal assistance In our labors.
And we also desire to recommend
that the stairway leading to the
Grand Jury room be sheltered.
Respectfully submitted,
w. F. VANCE, Foreman.

Sam Jones, April 18th.

Do not forget that the Rev. Sam
P. Jones will lecture at the Acad-
envy, this place, on the night of
Tuesday, April 18th, and do not fail
to hear him, for he is without doubt
one of the greatest pulpit and stage
orators before the American people.
Referring to one Of his lectures, an
ottawa, III, paper says:
Sam Jones played a game of ten
pins at the Opera House last night,
with a large crowd OF interested
spectators. He set up the pins.
which represented all classes of
American people, knocked them
down and repeated the operation.
making alternately a fs.singleo, a
spare, or a strike.
Preachers and laymen, doctors,
lawyers, merchants, clerks, politi-
clans, dudes and dudines, and all
shared a like fate, all getting some
good advice from this plain-spoken
man who thinks a great deal and
never hesitates to say what he
thinks.
When the lecturer grew serious
and descriptive, there was not a
sound, save his voice, in the entire
house, and when he finished he had
told truths which brought forth
many ''amens'' from different parts
of the house. He had the closest at
tention of the audience throughout.
Don't forget that the Otterbein
Male Quartette will appear at the
Scooba Academy on the night of
Saturday, April 2Sth. This will be
a musical entertainment well worth
the price of admission.

My Dear Emma: No doubt u,have
heard by this time of the dreadful
calamity that has swept over this Beau.
tiful state of the Golden West San
Francisco, the once prosperous land
busy city of the West, has been swept
by flames.
We received terrible shock of
earthquake last Wednesday morning
(April lS) at 5:l4:4S, that lasted 2S
seconds. So great was the shock that
the instruments that register the
quakes were broken, so we are in
doubt as to the direction it had its
course. All of the instruments in the
Chabot Observatory here in Oakland
were broken.
Oakland suffered a great deal from
the quake, but we thank God there
We're very few killed. only five people.
To look at the buildings in Oakland it
seems mystery that there were not
hundreds killed. A great many of the
buildings will have to be torn down,
while some of them will have to be
taken down two and three stories. All
of the chimneys of the homes were
broken to pieces, crockery and glass
ware were damaged to great extent =;
the plate glass in the show-windows
was broken. Going down Broadway |
counted only fifteen windows that were
not broken. A great many of the high
buildings and church spires went off.
plumb and they will have to come
down.
The first day one had to climb over
heaps of bricks that were in the mid
die of the street. The cars could not
run for thirty-siN hours; no gas, electric
lights or water could be had during
that same length OF time, as all OF the
mains were broken. Crevices were
made in the street in some places three
feet wide and from fifty to one hundred
in length. On some streets the ear
rails were raised two feet, earth and
all, from where they were before. In
one ease | saw in Alameda the rails
that run side by side, the double tracks.
one of them had fallen two and Il half
feet and the one beside of it had laised
two feet.

TALES or THE DISASTER
BY MANY EYEWITNESSES

Herewith f. presented n symposium
~ description of the tremendous diHas.
'cr that destroyed San Francisco. and
~ ns aftermath of military protection
and civil philanthropy. which IN ~ way
is unique at least on the scale present.
ed. Previous issues OF the Advertiser
since mail accounts Of the catastrophe
began 10 arrive. have been crowded
with the narratives OF trained ncws-
I papermen. some OF the stories werc
actually written by the light Of the
burning metropolis. amidst the crash
Of falling commercial and domestic
! palaces, and others were writ tersely
FOR the telegraph wires and therefore
were of broad sketching. Many OF the
tales wore the earmarks OF effort--and
effective effort-in the telling, for the
newspaperman must>write az well as
circumstances will permit with the
knowledge that no circumstances Will
excuse writing much below the mark
that he may profess TO have attained.
What Is peculiar in the following ac-
counts of the san Francisco calamity
and it's sequels Is the fact that they
were not written for publication. They
are the free and unconstrained letters
of private individuals to relatives and
friends, written at the earliest oppor-
tunity after the events described. for
the purpose of allaying the anxiety of
loved ones far from the deplorable
scenes. as we'll as of gratifying the
naturally supposed desire of those ad-
dressed to learn as much as possible
at first hand of one of the most APP
palling disasters. combining a convul-
sion of nature with the accident of fire
run wild which have ever staggered
humanity. e"
Women are letter writer's natural /
born and the commercial evolution that
is destroying the epistolary art among
busy men, or even the temptations to !
brevity of communication which the
postcard creates, will not for q while I
yet render extinct the capacity of the
gentler sex to write letters from heart
to heart and of heartfelt interest to all
who read them. There is no apology I
needed, then for starting the following /
symposium of correspondence from the .
wrecked city with a woman's letter.
It may be recalled that the Adver-
tiser some days ago solicited the use
of private letters from San Francisco.
