pany for So, coo damages.

TERRIBLE TORNADO.

Nineteen people are know to have
been. killed as the result of the tornado
that swept over a section of Meridian,
Miss, Friday evening. Twenty-four
persons were injured and property with
an estimated value of one million dol
lars was demolished or otherwise dam
aged. Among freaks the wind played
was the carrying off Of thee little baby
of Jim Stewart, from the home, sweep
ing it through the air many feet above
the ground and finally depositing it
gently on the ground uninjured.. The
baby lay in the rain for some time, but
appeared none the worse for it's expert
ence. Next morning when searchers
found the missing child it was peace
fully sleeping.
One of the tragedies of the cyclone
was the suicide of Claude Williams floor
manager Of the Meyer-Neville Hard
ware Company. Williams was at the
center of the first floor when the build
ing collapsed. His cries for help were
heard but all efforts to reach him were
futile When he realized his doom he
ended his sufferings by slashing his
throat with his pocket knife. He was
twenty five years of age and unmarried,
and the only support of two sisters.
BOURBON'S BLACK BLITZENS.
The performance of Bourbon's Black
Blitzens Thursday evening, under the
management of Lyons & Browner, was
very creditable. These gentlemen
have gotten together a number of color
ed artists that can rank with many of
the minstrl troupes now called profess
SIGNALS. Their specialties are good, and
all in all Bourbon's Black Blitzens
give firt-class show in every particu-
lar. When the Blitzens appear in our
surrounding towns, which we under
stand they will soon do, we take pleas
ure iii recommending them as giving
first-class, clean, minstrel perform
ance.

To all these and many more friends
and former residents OF the town do the
members of the association desire TO
express their sincere gratitude for the
generous and timely aid bestowed, with
out which the society would not have been
able to have had the building in its pres
ent form or so well finished and fur
nished.
The society takes much pleasure in
announcing at the present time the final
payment upon the church debt which was
made on Jan. l by the treasurer OF Yer
non Grange, that organization having
voted the sum of $50 for that purpose.
Long may the church remain, an altar to
the living God, a blessing of love and
union to the town and its coming gener-
ations.

present one, ana remained there until
/ 1874, when it was sold at auction and

A second church was begun on the
site of the present one that year and

pletion the Unitarian and Universalist

of its cost having exceeded their first esti-
mate and appropriation. and the COM
mittee proceeded to dispose of 1t by selling
the pews to individuals and retained
what could not be so disposed of.
This church was dedicated May 21 1916
the sermon being preached by Rev L. ].
| Fletcher. His closing remark was May
the Lord bless the people who have raised
this altar to his worship with the spirit of
union and love, and with lasting pros
perity." Although the building COM
mittee could not quite recognize that 1t
was this spirit that influenced the soci-
cites in their action of not accepting
their work, yet it did not provoke any
permanent discord. and the church was
a power in cementing the union of the
various denominations and was occupied
by them until its destruction by fire

Immediately following a vivid flash of
lightning, the topmost part of the wood
work in the spire was discovered to be
on fire.
The old bell. whose harmonious tones
had for more than half a century called
to the people in voice of love, peace on
earth and good will to men," now pealed
in tremulous tones of fear and its call of
alarm was quickly responded to by a
large gathering. The young men quickly
mounted to the belfry, believing the down
ward course of the flames could there
be stayed. but all effort proved of no
avail. and when the spire toppled and
fell its flaming point piercing through
roof and ceiling into the centre OF the
building, we knew that the old church
many a fearful face we watched 1t as 1t
vanished from sight.
The question of a new church was soon
agitated, but no definite action was taken
until early in 1900, when the vernon
Union Church association" was organ
lied. The predominant feature of this
organization was its avowed purpose to
unite all Christian workers or believers
in the Gospel, as 1t came from Mount
Sinai or the Mount of the Beatitudes, in
an effort to provide a place where all
of the few people in so sparsely settled
a community might come together in
the effort to strengthen each other in
the love of God and man. and where
dogmatic creeds should be held in abey-
ance to the greater needsAof humanity.
The first officers of this society," who
still remain, are: President, DIR. n. p
