persons were killed here as a result
of the storm which swept portions OF
Mississippi Monday. Their death was
caused by falling walls. Hundreds
of buildings were unroofed in the
city. fences carried away and trees
uprooted. The east dome of the new
capitol building was crushed in and
a number Of upper rooms flooded.
The equinoctial hurricane swept
upward from the Mississippi coast
carrying death and destruction in It's
wake Il is believed that other lives
have been lost and property damag'
ed TO the extent OF several million
dollars. Wires are down In all direc'
tions and Jackson has been almost
entirely cut of from the outside
world since midnight Monday. Train
service is crippled. and no passenger
trains have reached this city over the
Illinois Central from the South since
Monday afternoon. Charles Clayton
and Karl Wooster. blacksmiths. were
caught beneath falling walls here and
badly mangled. Wooster was killed
outright. and Clayton died yesterday.
The old capitol building was un-
rooted. several sections OF the roofins
being carried hundreds OF yards. The
stables at the fair grounds were de
mollshed and several OF the exhibit
buildings badly damaged.
In the business district. many signs
were carried away, roofs taken from
buildings. plate glass windows broken
and stores flooded.

day night was q pititul one. No sign
of relief was in sight and the passen-
gers did not believe that their friends
in New Orleans were aware of their
plight. A representative OF the Asso-
Ciated Press headed a party of male
passengers who worked their way
through the swamp and marsh to n
point where they were picked up in
an exhausted condition by a relief
train which brought them to New Or

Miss Katherine KIugh .Entertains.

On last Friday night the graduating
class of the Graded School was treated
to q, splendid entertainment given by
Miss katherine Klugh, a member Of
the class. The Superintendent l.. w.
Dick and Principal W.R. Bradley,
were also invited to join in the cele-
bration.
Miss Klugh is a splendid entertainer
in addition to her other myriad OF
enviable qualities. The class and
teachers enjoyed the evening to the
fullest. The parlors were decorated
in class colors among which The GRIM
son .creeper was much in evidence.
1t is not necessary to mention the
great quantity and variety of good
things to eat, for Mrs Klugh's place is
a synonym for all such. -
Music was added to the entertain
ment. Besides the musicians OF the
10th Grade, Mrs j. E. Bradley ADDED
her talent; Mrs Bradley is splendid
musician and entertained the class
with some of her own compositions.
The class was in joyous mood un-
til some one touched the piano Keys
and the instrument responded to the
strains of Home Sweet Home" This
was tou much for the majority of the
class, who had been together for the
ten long years in the Graded Scoool
and many eyes were dimmed by tears
in the face of this parting.
1t was a sad good bye said by the
class as they passed this, the last marx
of their Graded School career.

Profitable Investment.

Let us do our share to help build
up Abbeville. We have the Cotton
| Mill, Oil Mill, Ice Factory, Banks
land other enterprises, all of which
contribute their share towards the
prosperity of our city, but there is
another institution OF which we wish
specially to speak at this time.
That is the AbbeviHe Building and
Loan Associatian. Possibly only a
small percentage of our citizens and
business men know of the benefits
our town receives from this Assoc la
ton.
This institution began business two
years ago with 500 shares. One dollar
per month is collected for each share,
which means five hundred dollars
per month to loan for the up building
of our city; the interest charged by
this Association is 6 per cent, which
enables the borrower or home build
er to own his own home cheaper
and easier than on any other plan.
This Association, in the TWO years
it has been running, has collected
Sill. sos. 81 and has a surplus or IN
divided profits amounting to $516.64,
which, while only charging 6 per cent
makes a zeal profit of 10 IA which
is a good showing for its stock holders
and should be an inducement to
others to go into this assoccition rs
an investment. The officers are DR..
Ia. A. NJ utfer. Prest. R. S. Link, Vice
|Prest. J. s. Morse, Sect. and Treas,
| Board of Directors, DR.. Neuffer, DR..
Gambrell, r. S. Link, j. S. Morse,
H. B. Wilson, l.. w. Dick, j. S.
Stark, RI. Dargan, j. NJ. Lawton.
1t was decided at thief last annual
meeting of the stock holders to issue
another series of stock. Payments
on this new series to begin, as Hsoon
as 500 sharss are subscribed. Let
every body in Abbeville lend a help
ing hand to this institution by sub
scribing to as many shares Of this
stock as they car.
If another series of 500 shares can
be gotten up it will mean the
building of 20 nice new homes for
Abbevilie, each year, which other
wise would not be built.
Many citizens Of Abbeville, espec-
tally the business men, should help
this institution by subscribing literally
TO its stock. Several nice new resi-
dence have already been added to
our city through the help of this
enterprise. Let US all help; see any
of the officers or directors and hand
in your subscription.
