CYCLONE OF 1883.
twenty-five Years Ago Lives We're Lost
And Property Destroyed.

luFOuSlOuG VlO otooO VI 49,
kansas and probably throughout
the south there are people who
will remember that just twenty
five years ago today November
81, 1889, the northern part OF
the state was visited by a de-
structive cyclone, which killed
several people and destroyed
homes and devastated timber
lands. More especially do those
who lived in the towns Of Mel
bourne and Lacrosse remember
the horrors of that awful occa-
sion, when in the early morning
hours was heard the awful rum
bling of a mighty wind. Horror
stricken and helpless, the people
awaited their certain calamity.
Some prayed agonizing prayers,
others ran like wild men, not
knowing whittier to go, while
others remained in their beds un-
til the roofs of their homes were
blown from over them, and in
some instances bed, occupant
and all were carried through the
air. Homes were destroyed,
never to be rebuilt; lives were
lost and their places never filled;
children were left crying for
father and mother, while father
and mother were left weeping for
their dead children.
Lacrosse, a beautiful little
town, was inhabited at the time
by some of Arkansas represen-
tative men and women who had
como from the older states in her
young days, and who rejoiced in
her successes and wept over her
woes. These people realized the
necessity of educational and in
tellectual training and accord
ingly organized and endowed the
Lacrosse Collegiate Institute,
with Prof. M. Shelby Kennard, a
scholarly, Christian gentleman,
at it's head. 1t is needless to say
that the enterprise was a success
All-over the south today are men
and women Of every honorable
calling and profession in life who
owe their success to the training
received at this institution.
In Melbourne, the neighboring
town, more lives were lost and
more hearts made sad, but to
Lacrosse the storm meant not
only the loss Of life, but an i'm
mensely greater loss of property,
and greater still the intellectual
center Of that portion of the state
was destroyed, never to be re-.
built.
In the hearts of the boarding
students of that college will ever
remain a tender love for the town
and her people unequaled by
any other influences, for like the
few colleges Of the south in the
early days, they suffered togeth-
er, bled together and died to-
gether.
There are many people now
living in Batesville who had har-
rowing experiences on that fear.

LITTLE HOPE OF RECOVERY

miles out on the old Augusta road was
severely and dangerously burned yes
terday as a result of trying to light a
fire in the kitchen stove with kero-
sene.
1t was shortly after dinner when
Mrs. Davis went to rekindle the fire
in the kitchen stove preparatory to
putting up fruit. Thinking the fire
had died out, she took the coal oil
can and attempted to throw some oil
on the wood to start the blaze, when
suddenly the fire flared up and the
flames, reaching her body completely
enveloped her. Mr.. Davis ran to her

summoned at once and as soon as he

was out to see her again this morning,

that he thought there was very little
chance for her to recover.

new NAME
ADOPTED
Financial Standing of the Company
is Not Effected by the
Change.

The Armbrecht Lumber Company
known heretofore as the Armbrecht-
Tompkins Lumber Company, has
changed its name and will henceforth
be known as the Armbrecht Lumber
Company, under the management of
that capable lumberman, Mr.. C. H.
Armbrecht.
1t is understood that the other
shareholders in the corporation bought
the stock from Mr.. Tompkins, and he
will engage in business otherwise, be-
ginning Immediately.
The financial standing of the COM
pany is not affected by this change,
in that none of the capital stock has
been retired, and therefore the COM
pany will be in position to operate
along the same liberal lines which
have heretofore characterized it's eff
forts.
1t is worthy of note that this firm
made full, regular settlements without
delay all during the panic, which was
very unusual, and doubtless made them
many friends, as well as possibly con.
tributed to the financial advantage Of
the firm.

One step. and then another,
And the largest walk is ended;
One stitch, and then another,
And the largest rent is mended;
One brick, and then another,
And the highest wall is made;
One flake, and then another,
And the deepest snow is laid
So the little coral workers,
BY their slow but constant motion,
Have built those pretty islands
In the distant dark blue ocean;
And the poblest undertaking
Mans wisdom hath conceived,
BY oft-repeated efforts,
Hath been patiently achieved.
Then do not look disheartened
Ger the work you have to do,
And say that such a, mighty task
You never can get through;
But just endeavor--day by day
Another point to gain,
And soon the mountain which you fear

viii prove to be a plain.
Rome was not builded III a day
The ancient proverb teaches;
And Nature, by her fruits and flowers
The same true sermon breaches.

But of duties which are near:
And, having once begun to work,
Resolve to persevere.
