view, made thorough inspection
of the grounds, Investigated the
titles of property and held confer
ences with the people of the commu-
nifty, whom they found to be in full
sympathy with the objects of the or
ganization. The project was pre-
sented at the next reunion sof the
United Confederate Veterans and
the same responsiveness was evidenc-
ed as at the meeting Of the Orphan
Brigade. The following honorary

The 101st birthday of Jefferson
Davis will be observed at Fairview
Thursday. There will be no elabor-
ate program. People from all over
the South will gather at the Davis
Homestead grounds and after a din
ner for all, there will be a rumber
Of speeches made.
The orator of the occasion will be
Col. Bennett H. Young, of Louisville,
a most fitting selection, for it was
his loyalty and generosity that made
the acquisition Of the property pos
sible. The day before the options on
the lands expired, April 27, and
when extensions could not be secur-
ed, less than half the money requir-
ed for the purchase had been sub
scribed. Col. Young, with charac-
teristic liberality, advanced S4 900 in
cash and the deals were promptly
closed. 1t is proposed to erect a
magnificent memorial hall on the
Davis homestead, and it is estimated
that $4,000 will be needed to carry
out the plans. The interest already
manifested all over the South indi-
Gates that the money will be raised.
In both Christian and Todd counties
committees of Confederate Veterans
and Daughters of the Confederacy
are at work soliciting money and
baskets for picnic dinner of huge
proportions. The preparations con
template the serving of 5000 people
on the grounds. In addition to Col
Young's address there will be q
speech by Capt. w. 7. Ellis, devo-
tional exercises and attractive and
appropriate musical features.
The following historical resume is
from a special article in the Courier
Journal of-Sunday by Mr.. 7. C. Un-
derwood:
Start of Movement.
"Dr. c. c. Brown, of Bowling
Green, conceived the project for the
purchase of the Davis homestead
with a view to converting it into a
memorial to the great leader, and
at the annual reunion of the surviv-
ors of the Orphan Brigade at Glas-
gov. September IL, 1907. the propo-
sition was formally presented by
Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner, and
met Immediately with hearty and
unanimous approval. Commander

Brentwood, Texas, May 30.-A
torrent Of awful fury struck the lit
tie village Of Zephyr, in the eastern
portion Of Brown County at ] o'clock
Sunday morning. and left a path Of
death and destruction seldom paral-
leled. The death list has reached 33
and the number Of seriously and fa-
tally wounded will reach fifty. As
score or more are slightly injured.
The storm formed half q mile
southwest Of Zephyr, and swept down
upon the village cutting q wide sWath
directly through the residence and
business section. Nearly fifty houses
were totally demolished. Lightning
struck . lumber yard and started 4
eonfagration which destroyed one en-
tire business block. No effort was
made to fight the fire, the care Of the
dead and injured victims demanding
all attention.
A section hand rode q hand car to
Brentwood and spread the alarm.
In two hours the Santa Fe was speed
ing a special train to the scene of
the storm with nine surgeons and q
score Of BroWnwood citizens.
Hundreds of persons in the storm
swept path saved themselves By tax
ing refuge in storm cellars. More
than a dozen bodies were horribly
mutilated. Thad Cabler, wife snd
two children, Who had gone to
Zephyr to spend The night, were
killed. The big stones IN the Scott
building and Of the church were
swept from the face Of The earth.
By lightning flashes the surgeons
were working on the wounded.
Brentwood hurried her second relief
train at noon today. loaded with tons
of provisions, clothing and necessary
articles and forty nurses.
At dusk tonight three persons are
still unaceounted for. Two children
we're found dead late this afternoon
two miles out from the town, having
been blown that distance. A special
train will likely leave Zephyr tonight
for Temple, carrying the seriously IN
jured to the hospital.
The storm was 300 yards wide and
swept the earth for only a short dis
lance, probably less than d mile. TIE
fury IS considered The most terrific Of
any cyclone ever seen ID this section.
]. !. Clingman. G. T. Kirkpatrick
and nine surgeons, who formed the
first party out Of Brentwood, found
3 desolate scene awaiting them.
The hiIlsides at Zephyr were Gov
cred with debris of all kinds and
bodies Of dead human beings and
animals. The ruins were dimly
lighted BY the burning buildings, and
the cries of The wounded rose above
the sound Of the elements, which
threatened q second storm.
A hog roaming through The debris
streWn streets was killed while at
tempting TO devour the body Of an
infant.
Bodies were found twisted about
trees and in every conceivable shape.
People walked the streets almost
naked, crying for their loved ones.
Residences which escaped The storm
were turned into hospitals, where
were carried the bodies Of the dead
and wounded.
One stormhouse collapsed On .
family Of nine without serious injury
to any.
Brentwood, with splendidly or
gained relief work, has the situation
well in hand.
