Craig of the United States army is on the ground at Albertville for the purpose of assisting the war department in the dis trfbution of the appropriation made by Congress for the relief of the storm suf- ferers in the southern states. He has made a careful investigation of the con- ditions at Albertville and reported to the department as to his findings.
 In reply he has been advised that from $12,OOO to S15.00o will be available for Albertville and vicinity. This money is not to be distributed in cash but will be used to provide tents cots. blankets, food and clothing.
 One carload of tents are already on he ground and cots and blankets are expected to arrime tomorrow. Colonel Craig's report showed that approximately 125O people in Albertville and vicinity were rendered homeless and needed assistance He was notified that 1000 army tents with an equal number of cots and blankets would be sent him and that he was authorized to act in conjunction with the regular local relief committee for the provision of food and clothing to cover a period of 90 or 40 days.

 The work of rebuilding the city goes on as rapidly as material for the purpose can be gotten on the ground.
 There are no more deaths among the in jured and in a way the effects of the storm are fast disappearing.

 The committee had hoped to wind up it's affairs fully within the next 10 days, but with the new source of aid secured through congressional action it is not likely that a final disbanding will take place for the next two months.
 It is announced by the Tri-Cities Gas company that the laying of the mains will be begun within few weeks. This company was ready to complete it's plant last fall when the panic came along and interfered with it's finances and caused postponement until the money market was such as to allow sale of it's securities upon satisfactory terms.
 The registrars of this county will open the books for registration on Friday and Saturday of next week for the purpose of allowing new residents and young men just come of age since the last registra- tion to get on the list and vote in the coming primary.
