in the sleeping dormitory. The front
wall is apparently the only portion of
the building which escaped.
The Methodist church is the most
complete wreck Of all. The main
entrance and a small portion of the
wall is all that remains of the front
of the building. The south wall and
extension is gone. with the exception
building will have to be entirely re-
built.
Baptist Church Can Be Repaired.
Among the churches. the Baptist
church escaped without being ire
parahly wrecked. The splendid dome
of the church has fallen, INC a small
portion Of the roof is practically
destroyed. but in other respects the
building seems to nave stood the test
very we'll.
The land title building was more
fortunate than other buildings. al
though the large stone slabs from the
front of the building were thrown to
the ground and shattered and the
terror Of the building is comparatively
%uninjujred.
That the loan companies will. ex-
tend the time for repayment of loans
made on mortgages is the opinion of
q representative of one of the prin-
cipal firms here. but with the excep-
ton Of the north he did not think
much difficulty would be experienced
in meeting these payments. The sec
ton most affected on the south side
was built up about six years ago. and
mortgages which would have
loans placed on them at that time
would be on the basis Of so per cent
value and. as a considerable portion
has already been paid off. the amount
would look very small today.
On the other hand. the property in
this section has advanced consider
ably in value since the mortgages
We're first taken out.
Pathetic Sight.
One Of the most pathetic sights at
the Grey Nuns hospital is the family
Of G. Mcpougall. who is laid up at the
general hospital with severe bruises.
Mrs. McDougall lies on a bed. and
around her are three little daughters,
Griba. Marvel and Barbara. The four
of them are suffering from bruises.
and though no bones are broken. there
are several gashes all over their
bodies. and ugly looking wounds.
which will take a long time to heal up.
Ran Out With Child.
At the first intimation of the cv-
clone, Mrs. McDougall ran out of the
house with a younger child in her
arms. The side of the house fell on
her as she was going through the
door. and she was pinned down by
some timbers. The little child was
blown away from her. and has been
located at the home Of Mrs. Cameron.
OF all the family. only one ESCAPED
injury. There is also a younger boy
Of four years. who was lost in the
hurricane, but he also was found and
taken to the home Of Mrs. Cameron.

How the u. ID. G.. Was Founded.

In 1889 the Legislature of tfp
State of Tennessee gave AS acres of
the Hermitage Farm, a part of the
home of AndraW Jackson, for a sol
dlers Home, which was to be erect
ed under the auspices of the Frank
Cheatham BivOuac. which was the
first chartered organization of Con
federate soldiers in the South. In
iorder to facilitate the work of build
ing this home, the ladies Of Nash
vile organized and chartered what
was known as the Ladies Auxiliary
to the Confederate Soldiers Home.
1t was at the last meeting of this
auxiliary in May 1892 that Mrs. M.
C. Goodlet suggested the uniting of
all organizations of Southern wom-
Ell into one grand body to be known
as the Daughters of the COnfeder-
acy. The suggestion was taken up
and given widespread publicity. In
NitatiOns were sent out to every
prominent organization of Southern
women inviting them to send repre-
<entatves to Nashville in September
1894 for the purpose of organiza
ton. Although only three States
were represented, Georgia, Texas
rand Tennessee, an association was
organized and called the National
Daughters of the Confederacy. This
organization adopted a constitution
and elected officers, with Mrs. M.
u. GoOdlet president and Mrs. John
P. Hickman recording secretary. At
| the next meeting in November 1895
there were delegates from chapters
in Nashville, Savannah, Ga, Viii
mingtOn, n. c., Charleston, S. c., and
Jackson, Tenn. Shortly after this
meeting chapter was organized in
| Atlanta, Ga, where the next meet
| ing was held. 1t was at this meet
ing that the Constitution was still
further revised and the name of the
association finally and formally
changed to The United Daughters
| of the COnfederacy.
