The awful catastrophy at the Golden
Gate in which seven square miles of
the city of San Francisco including fl
nancial, commercial and residential sec
tions were reduced to ashes by the earth
quake and fire which visited the Pa
cific Coast last Wednesday morning
destroying $500, 900, 900 worth of prop
erty, killing several hundred and /.
leaving more than 100000 persons
homeless, has not been without its
Smyrna interest. There were several |
former Smyrna boys in the city at the |
time. Cove S. Taylor, son of Mr.. and |
Mrs. George W. Taylor of this town,
was there on a business trip, having
landed few days before from Seattle,
Washington. He was registered at
the Palace Hotel when the earthquake
shock visited the city. After an aw-
full experience he managed to escape
with the other guests from the hotel
and the latest heard from him was
that he was safe and was on his way
to meet his family in New York City.
Herbert n. Farrell, former Smyrna
boy, son of the late Edward Farrell, is
a resident of San Francisco. Moth
ing has been heard from him by his
Smyrna relatives and friends. The
supposition is that he was rendered
homeless by the awful fire, since Cali
fornia Avenue where he is said to have
resided, is in the burnt district.
The Bells Have Not Been Heard From.
Harry Bell, son of William NJ.
Bell of this town, a resident of San
Francisco, has not been heard from
and whether he resided in the burnt
district cannot be found out Neither
has the family of the late Frank Bell
been heard from. They live in Oak
land where Mrs. Bell owns property.
Mr.. W. M.Be is expecting to hear from
them most any day. Thomas Collins,
brother of Mrs. S. j. Reynolds of this
town is resident of the Golden Gate
City and is supposed to have been af-
fected by the fire. He resided on Mar
ket Street, one of the sections wiped
out. Mrs. Reynolds has received nc
intelligence from him at this writing.
In addition to these there are possibly
number of relatives and friends oi
Smyrniaus who are anxiously waiting
to be heard from.
l sympathy Won a Little School Boys Heart
Smyrna has fallen in line with the
other cities and towns to raise funds
J to send to the unfortunate and sorrow
stricken city. In addition TO the banks
u which are receiving funds for the ReC
Cross Society, William FAIRIES is als'
o getting together relief fund. Anon;

o Of the little boys of the lower grade O
le the Public Schools who was so affecte
by the outgrowth of sympathy for tn
homeless residents of the stricken cit
he took six pennies, all the cash b
had, and asked Principal Burdette
he could contribute that to the Cal
fornia sufferers. 1t was a small amour
but the spirit of the boy had the rigf
oil ring and touched not only Principi
n Burdette but Mr.. William FAIRIES WI
