Show Falls TO Appear.

The show failed to come. Every
body knows that for everybody was
here Monday to attend. The trouble
occurred at Uniontown where a dis
agreement arose between the partners
and this, coupled with a dull season,
caused on account of so much rain)
made money quite scarce with them.
They were compelled to disband
and sell off some of their stock. They
also failed to reach Clay, At the

For year or two this small society
met for occasional preaching at the
residence Of Mr.. John Wheeler who
lived four miles Southeast Of Marion,
opposite the place where Rev. Frank
Paris now lives. In 1912 the organ
ization was completed by Rev. FINS
Ewing at school house in the nei-
ghborhood of Mr.. Wheeler's hume.
Being situated between the forks Of
Piney Greek, it was called the Piney
Fork church.
John Travis donated tract of land
to the church of about thirteen acres.
Afterward George Green donated
three acres. A log church house was
at once erected upon it, situated in
what is now the cemetery, about one
hundred yards from the western boun-
Diary of the cemetery. A second log
church was built in 1943. The pre-
sent church, brick, Of which the
picture represents, was erected in
1867 at a COST Of $4,000. The brick
was burned on the ground and the
building erected by L, M. Hill and
w. G. Tsrk. The following were

TWO THOUSAND
ESTIMATED DEAD
GREAT As THAT SUSTAINED IN SAN
FRANCISCO

Camping Out on Hills
b, GOVERNMENT TO THE RELIEF.

Valparaiso, ChiH lug. 1s-Ther
continues a confusion Of stateESent
as to the magnitude of the disaster t
Valparaiso caused by the earthquake
shocks which began on Thursday,
Aug. IL, and continued at frequent
intervals throughout that and the
next two days.
Dispatches from Valparaiso to The
Associated Press, received last even
ing, state that a moderate estimate
of the fatalities is 1000, and that the
property loss may be as high as
$3.50, 600, 900, which latter is as
great as the loss sustained by San
Francisco in consequence of the earth
quake and fire which devastated that
city last April.
4 refugee, who has arrived at San
tiago, places the known dead at 100
and other messages indicate that the
first reports of damage and casualties
were greatly exaggerated. Dispat-
ches to the State Department at Wash
ington, place the fatalities at about
500. These conflicting statements
cannot at this time be adjusted. 1t
is evident that even yet, confusion
and panic prevail at Valparaiso, and
until order is restored it will be i'm
possible to learn with accuracy the
loss to life and property. The dwell
lngs In the city have practically been
abandoned and the people are exist
ing as best they can in the plazas
and streets of the CITY and the hills
adjacent to it, without shelter from
storm and sun, and with famine con-
fronting them, Food is already
scarce and high, water for drinking
purposes is lacking, and disease is
feared. The government is doing all
it can to bring relief. The crippling
Of railroads leading to Valparaiso
constitutes a serious factor in the sit
uation, as for an idefnite period re-
lief supplies can only be obtained
through other means of tsansporta-
tion, the seaboard affording the best
of these.
At Santiago many Of the best pub
lic and private buildings we're wreck
ed. The loss of life there was aug
mented by the panic which seized the
people, many Of whom threw them
selvee from the balconies Of their
homes. The destructive force Of.the
earthquake was experienced over a
large extent Of the country, many
towns sustaining serious damage.

many States in the Union, sprAng
from this noted church. Among them
are the Rev. Geo. W. Hughey, pre-
siding elder of the NJ. E. church,
who has filed positions Of importance
in St. Louis, Mo-, and in various
parts Of Illinois; Rev. j. H. Hughey
and j. L. Hughey, who have been
the pastors Of some Of our most i'm
portant churches in Indiana and ILL
inois; the late Rev. T. S. Love, who
was pastor of some Of the most noted
churches in Missouri; the Rev. p.
H. Order, who served as pastor Of
the most prominent churches in Iowa
and other States. The Rev. j. T.
Rushing, now a presiding elder of
the NJ. +. Church, South was once a
member Of Pipey Fork, as we'll as
Mack Green of the Baptist church.
Piney Fork is a pame sacred to all
Christians who have visited these
annual camp-meeting and have seen
the power Of God so marvelously dis
played. Thousands claims this as
their spiritual birth place. 1t is
sacred because Of the fathers of the
church who have preached there. 1t
is sacred because of the hallowed as
sociations of the past. The mem
bership Of Piney Fork church is some
what depleted by the organization Of
other churches from their ranks and
by an excessive emigration to the
star west, but noble men and wo-
men still stand by it ami we hope It
may live long to bless the world with
the precious gospel Of the kingdom
of God.

One of the most ingenious and
useful household articles we have

A. \. Cardin, Of View, viii Give an In
terestlng Talk on Tobacco
ALL FARMERS ARE URGED TO ATTEND

Edlt0r OF the fRESS:-N Ill you be
kind enough to help me, through
your paper, to urge the farmers of
this county to come oIMarion on the
Both day of this month to the Farm
ers Club meeting called by our pres
ident, Frank Conger.
Every intelligent farmer should
feel 1t his duty to attend .this meet
ing and give his encouragement and
assistance to the move. Farmers all
over the country are now organized
and yooling the products Of their
farms to enable them to get the best
prices the market affords.
Now you may think you will lay
low and reap the benefits of your
brother farmers work IN trying to
organize the entire community; if
you do you will come up missing.
Now let me beg of you to be men
who are more than willing to do
you part and come every one of you
to Mr.. Conger's call for a call meet
ing. 1t is for the purpose Of making
arrangements for county institute
to be held by the State board of agri-
culture, ordered mdrSsii;sa- sGr BY the
State. These institutes are doing
great deal of good for the farmers
and every farmer should attend them
and gain valuable information.
You may tug and toll the remain
der of your life to make buckle and
tongue meet, but you will never do
it until you organize and learn what
to do with your crops.
After YOU make and sell them, the
men who buy and handle the products
of your farm are all organized and
competition in what you have to sell
is a thing of the past and will con-
tinue so until you are thourghlY o.
gained. So every body attend the
Farmers Club meeting to be held in
Marion on the last day of this month.
l see there is disposition on the
part of some of the farmers to cut
their tobacco early this year because
the season has been good and the
tobacco has grown to be very large.
If you put your knife in your tobacco
until all of the sap has ripened out
of 1t you will make a great mistake.
You have the size now let it wet ripe
and you will have the best selling
crop you have had for ten years.
If you have no more rain for some
time the rich spots may field Ere
little; let it alone, better have little
field FIRE than to cut it green. 1t
you want the best selling tobacco you
must cut ripe tobacco; you must not
let it sun burn or get wet after it is
cut or house burn, the buyers will
look close for house-burn this year.
After you cut and yellow your to-
bacoo you will then FIRE slowly for
two or three weeks. To get good
price you must have body color and
flavor.
Come every one to the Club meet
ing and l will give you good talk
on the tobacco question.
Respectfully,
A. II. CARpIN.
Mr.. Frank CoDgr asked me to
write your paper and urge the farm
ers out to his call; did not have time
to correct properly so do that for me
and oblige Youps truly,
A. H. OkRDIN.

SACRAMENTO TAKES A DROP
As Result of the Suits Filed fcster-
day--Twenty Dollars Bid for

There was considerable demand for
the higher priced stocks during the
forenoon sessions Of the Salt Lake
Stock and Mining Exchange today
DAILY Judge, Little Bell and Columbus
Consolidated were all attractive to the
investor. DAILY Judge opened on an
offer of S12. the stock was promptly
taken and the same bidder took an
other bunch at s12.i2h, while 200
shares were picked up on the open
board at the same figure. Little Bell,
starting at $40 sold up to sl2.S7la.
Columbus Consolidated found buyers
up TO s7.25 and New York Bonanza
went at 26 and 81 cents.
The filing Of the suits against the
Sacramento company at Mercur had
the effect Of causing a drop In that
stock and no one would bid above 10
cents share for II. while II was offer
ed at | 3 cents, Silver Kings announce
ment Of cut In the amount of the
usual monthly dividend created con-
siderable comment among brokers and
the consensus Of opinion seemed TO be
that the real cause for this action on
the part Of the Kings directors can be
accounted for by decided falling OF
IN the company's earnings during the
PAST year, and that the fling OF the
Magnolia-St Louis suit has given the
management good excuse for the cut
IN the dividend. The stock was Of
fcred during the regular call at SIS
and $40 was bid for II.
The closing quotations and sales
were as follows.
