The storm of Wednesday night
caused greatest uneasiness among
our people, and in fact but few
slept until after the worst had
passed. Several trees in town were
blown down and many more badly
broken, while much fencing was
lain low, but no further property
damage was done other than to
crops. Some cotton yet in the fields
was blown out, though the loss from
this source was small; uncut rice
was more or less injured; fortunate
ly most of the corn had been gath
cred. and some hay was probably
injured by the rain, but on the
whole Tensas parish escaped serious
damage and especially as compared
to that suffered in some localities
where much property and some life
was lost.

Elsewhere in this issue there appears
an advertisement OF the Gusher Bend Oil
company, an independent company in
corporated in Shreveport for the purpose
OF continuously operating for oil in the
Red river fields and other sections.

sections slightly southwark.
Their first well is now being drilled by
r. f. Allison, noted driller, who brought
in the six consecutive Sure Shot wells in
Gusher Bend surrounded by many large
producers. The chances for this being a
success are very unusually bright, consid-
ering the remarkable wells brought in at
this point of the field.
The Gusher Bend Oil company is under
management of the same men who man
aged the Oliver Oil company, capable, eff.
ficient, experienced, reliable men, well
versed in the oil business. The Oliver,

MEMORIAL TO
HELEN WILSON.

Last Summer, soon after the
death OF Mrs. Woodrow Wilson,
there came into the minds of
body Of patriotic women gathered
at Montreal, N. c., the idea Of
perpetuating the memory Of the
woman who had done so much
to assist the work of Installing in
the minds Of the shut-in noun.
tian folk Of the south, ideals
which would help to make them
better citizens Of the nation.
It was not the desire to make
a memorial to Mrs. Wilson
which would be felt only in the
locality in which it was situated,
as would have been the effect Of
a monument or public building,
but to continue the great service
being rendered the subjects Of
Mrs. Wilson's interest. This plan
probably is crystalized in the
following letter of the president
to Mrs. B. L. Hughes, a men,
bers of the present administrative
board:
"The White House, Washington,
D. c., August, rs, 1913.
my Dear Mrs. Hughes.
my daughter, Margaret, has
handed me your kind letter Of
August Is. We have had a
little family conference, and |
want to say for my daughters as
we'll as for myself how deeply we
appreciate the action of the little
conference you held at Montreal,
and how glad l am to make the
suggestions you ask for. My
own judgement would be that it
would be best to raise a fund
which would be an endowment,
the interest Of which would be
used to pay the way through
school OF mountain boys and
girls-because | know that this
is what Mrs. Wilson would have
done if she had the means and
opportunity, She was paying for
the education Of several herself,
from year to year.
1T might be called the Ellen
Wilson Fund for the Christian

met Thursday in short session.
All the old committees were re-
appointed. Mr.. King Webb was
selected as the secretary Of the or

charge OF the work OF the fair. Mr..
Webb has had much to do with
the success of the fair in the past
and has labored untiringly in an
effort to give the people of this

county. Mr.. G. B Bras6eld whom
Mr.. Webb succeeds has done good
work in the past. His retirement
as secretary was necessitated by
his removal from Dresden several

would be quite difficult for him to
keep in touch with the affairs of
the association.

Education of Mountain Youth

Plans were formed Immediately
along the line suggested by Presi-
dent Wilson, and after much care
full consideration the Ellen Wilson
memorial was incorporated, and
later, in the spring Of 1915, was
chartered under the laws Of the
state Of Georgia.
Funds are to be collected, the
interest on which will be used for
the christian education of boys
and girls in the mountains of the
South, irrespective of denomina-
ton. The money received is ad.
ministered by an interdenomina.
tional board Of twenty.one women
in Atlanta, where the headquarters
OF the association is located.
Gifts Of 81, 900 or more carry with
them the right to designate how
they shall be applied. A donation
Of $1,000 by a man in New York
recently has been reported.
The state presidents form a
memorial committee and have
charge of the work within the
borders Of their respective states.
Mrs. David Fentress, the presi-
dent for Tennessee, is especially de-
sirous that this state should justify
its title as the Volunteer State"
in furnishing workers as we'll
as funds. For two easons-purely
selfish motives, and that many
persons Of pure Anglo-Saxon origin
are living in the mountainous
sections and have no opportunity
for education, and are not the
power in their commonwealth that
they should be-Tennessee should
be the foremost of the sixteen
states engaged in this work to
commemorate the memory of a
noble woman in a worthy manner.
