In Memoriam.

Whereas, God in his all wise prov
idence has seen fit to remove from our
Society our sister and eo-worker, Miss
Mary Boozer. Her aspirations along
the higher lines Of true Christian
were unmistakable.
Resolved first, That the Missionary
Society Of Lebanon has lost one Of
her best members. She was ever un-
tiring in her efforts to the upbulldlng
of this cause and while on her bed Of
I affliction. we feel sure her prayers
would 60 up in behalf of our Society.
But, while we loved her here, God
loved her best.
Second, That We extend to the fam
lily our sympathy in their bereave-
ment and commend them to the lone
that doeth all things well.'
Third, That a copy of these resolu-
tions be published in the county pa
pers and one be sent to the family.

MEXICO SHAKEN By
SEVERE EARTHQUAKE
CHILPANCINGo DESTROYED, AC-
APULCO PARTLY RAZED.
Shocks Extend Over 1000 Square
Miles.-Loss of Life Not Detin-
itely Known.

Mexico City, July 3O.-Wlth Chill
pancingo destroyed and Acapulco
partly razed and the loss Of life pro-
blematical, Central Mexico from the
Atlantic to the Pacific and from Quer-
anto on the north to Oaxaca on the
south. an area Of more than one thous-
and square miles, was shaken at an
early hour to-day by a series of the
most severe earth shocks felt in the
region for the last quarter OF Gen.
tury.
The quake was severe in Mexico
City, but not prolific in destruction.
Reports telling Of the loss Of life
are meagre, but the official figures
thus far given show fourteen killed
and more than score mortally inJur-
ed.
While word comes from G. Poyros,
fan American commercial traveller at
Chilpancingo. Guerrero. that that city
was destroyed and the Inhabitants are
living in the open. suffering from the
elements, the loss Of life is not def
nitelv known. The shocks continue at
Chilpancingo tonight, with subterran-
can rumblings and flashes OF hight
ming, rain and hail.
Acpulco. Guerrero was partly raz-
ed. but the extent Of the damage IS
not known, as communication with
that part Of the Republic is not we'll
established
According to observatory records,
the first shock was at 4.lo this morn
ing, the oscillation being from east to
southwest. It was severe, causing the
bells of many cathedrals in Mexico
CITY to toll, breaking crockery and IN
some instances leveling walls. The
inhabitants Of the capital had hardly
recovered from the fright of the quake
when a second and more severe shock
caused an outpouring Of nearly all
the residents to the streets and open
plazas.
This movement was Of a twisting
character. and lasted with severity for
ninety seconds. Tall buildings swayed
and in some instances cracked, the
pavement opened in places and in the
poorer quarters a number Of houses
collapsed.
So far as can be learned, six lost
their lives in Mexico City and en-
virons in this second shock. Two men
Of the lowwer class, the others being
three women and a child. Four now
in hospitals cannot recover it is said.
After the second shock no one VEN
tured indoors again until daybreak.
The large American colony escaped
unseathed. They, with the entire ma
tive population, remained in the pla-
zas or squares until daylight gave
them courage to enter their dwellings,.
Aztec Legend Foretold Disaster.
The pechs were terribly frightened.
For days these humble folk have been
predicting a disaster. because the

shat when the SHOWS on this volcano
disappear, so will the city at its base.
