Avezzano Wiped Out.

Unquestionably the city OF Ave
zzano has virtually ceased to exist.
Of a population of nearly $4,000
persons only 1000 are known to
have escaped entirely. The num-
Der of dead is placed at 5000, but
it is thought that this figure will
be reduced, as order is restored
and accurate investigation of the
casualties is made.
In this district of the province
of the Abruzzi the destruction par
allels the worst scenes of Messina.
Hundreds upon hundreds of men,
women and children were crushed
to death by the walls of their
dwellings,, scores were swallowed
into the earth and many were kill
ed in wild rushes for safety.
The dead in Avefiano include, it
is reported, the sub-prefect and
the members of his family, the
whole staff of the prefecture, the
Mayor and the members Of the
Municipal Council. Of the 100 sol
diers in the local garrison there
only few escaped, and most OF
the police and customs officials al
30 persisted.

it dragged the body considerable
distance. Other men were on the

anything was wrong until the ears
stopped suddenly. An investiga-
ton is being made to determine
the cause of the death of Clyde,
who was AZ years of age and is sur
vived by widow and five child

The funeral services will be held
in the Baptist church at Vinton-

MANY VILLAGE OFFICIALS
NUMBERED AMONG DEAD

ROME, Jan. 1.-THE secono
greatest catastrophe in the his
tory of Italy-the earthquake
which shook half Of the country
for only 80 seconds yesterday
morning, yet killed 10000 per-
sons, injured 10000, rendered l.
100000 homeless and did incalcula-
BILE material damage-is becoming
more realizable as each hour
brings in from the people of the
stricken countryside reports of
the harm done.
The record Of Messina in 1908
with it's $4,000 casualties will not
be cqualled, government officials
believe tonight, but the disaster is
SO great that little consideration
is given to comparisons. The great
work of relief, in which King and
nobility, Pope and peasants are
combining their energies, already
is the problem of the hour. By this
time in all probability the task of
succoring those still buried in the
ruins has been completed, al
though definite information from
the isolated districts is lacking.

KAISER HIMSELF WITNESS
ES DEFEAT OF DEFEND
ERS

A reverse of the allies along the
River Aisne in the neighborhood
of scissors is admitted in the lat
est French official statement, al
though the possible effect of the
German advance is officially mini.
mized.
After continuous engagements,
which lasted nearly two days, the
Germans forced the French to
yield in front of Vregny, to the
east of Crouy. 1t is explained by
the French war office that flood
ing of the River Aisne destroyed
several of the bridges and thus
rendered precarious the communi-
cations of the troops operating on
the right bank. These troops were
withdrawn, as it was thought i'm
possible to send reinforcements to
their support.

Decoration Service, A Success.

Monday afternoon, at 2 p. m.
the annual Decoration Services
and election of Directors of Ma
rion Cemetery Association was
held at the New Cemetery.
A good crowd gathered, not
withstanding the threatening
weather. Prayer was offered by
Rev. j. A. Chandler and appro-
pirate remarks made by Rev.
Trotter, j. F. Dodge and J. B.
Kevil. The Cemetery was never
in better shape. The Sexton, ].
R. Marvel, has taken a great deal
of pains with the work, and ev-
cry one who has contributed to
this fund is pleased with the re-
suits.
1t is due the Committee that
every lot owner contribute to the
care Of the cemetery. 1t is
nothing but right that each one
pay his part. The uncared for
lots give a ragged look to the
whole place. Pride, if nothing
else, should prompt owners to do
their part.
The election of Directors was
held and the following were
elected: H. V. Stone, j. w.
Blue, L. E. Crider and ]. C.
Bourland.
At Z o'clock Monday evening,
at the residence of Mrs. Cora P.
Crider, the first meeting of Di-
rectors was held. The first busi-
ness was the election of officers,
and the following were elected:
Mr.. j. R. Summerville, Pres
ident, ]. F. Dodge, Vice Pres
ident, nellie Walker, Secretary,
Mrs. Cora P. Crider, Treasurer.
Mrs. Edna Adams was appoint
ed Collector. Mr.. John Marvel
was reelected Sexton. The
matter of selling one-half of "a lot
was discussed. After discussion
it was voted that no lot be divi-
ded and sold IN this way. Other
matters of improvement were
brought up and discussed.
The Cemetery Association
hopes to be able to make several
more needed improvements. 1t
depends upon the contributions
of the lot owners. The Commit
tee appeals to all lot owners to
place the care of their lot in its
hands. The prices for care of
lots are as follows: Occupied
lot $500, two occupied lots in
one family, $500, vacant lots
$1.O0.
