simply asked that the board stick to

A letter was received from the
Kemper board Wednesday morning
stating that it was reported in DeKalb
that the Noxubee board had changed
the route. That they (the Kemper
board) intended to issue bonds to the
amount of $65, 900 to build the road
from DeKalb to the Noxubee line at
the point selected by the Jackson
Highway Commission, but if the road
agreed or had been changed the bonds
would not be issued. The board stuck
to the road already laid out and Presi-

Severe Storm Over South.

Beautiful farming weather prevailed
all of last week, and it was taken ad-
vantage Of by farmers all over the
county. On Monday of this week a
storm, which had been predicted III the
papers the day before, passed over the
state. The damage was of a minor
nature in this section, a few trees be-
ing blown down, but no material dam
age done. The city's light plant was
put out of commission for several
hours by a limb blowing across the
line and breaking the wire that led in
to town. There was sufficient rainfall
to stop blowing for several days.
The storm in other sections of the
state was very severe and at Jackson
thirteen were killed, all but two being
colored, and a property loss Of half a
million dollars. A Meridian paper of
Wednesday says:
One hundred and seven deaths had
been reported late Tuesday night from
the storm-swept sections of Arkansas,
Missouri, Mississippi and Illinois as be-
lated reports were received from COM
munities which suffered in a series of
tornadoes Monday night and early
Tuesday. A number of persons were
unaccounted for and believed dead and
several hundred were injured. Ac-
curate estimates of property damage
were not available, but all figures VEN
tured by property owners ran into the
hundreds OF thousands.
Incomplete tabulations showed the
following deaths:
Arkansas. 81.
Missouri 80, possibly more
Mississippi, Is.
Illinois, re.
Tennessee four, with a score or
more missing in the %overturning of the
Mississippi river pr cket Eleonore.
The casualties in Arkansas were
from every section. Scarcely a coun.
ty escaped The path of twisters. which
.raversed the entire state. Jackson
and Vicksburg suffered from the storm
n Miss 'ssippi. Many of the casualties
IN Arkansas and Mississippi were
negroes. In Missouri the Poplar Bluff
section was well nigh devasted.

the Lee Line steamboat Eleonore was
overturned during a tornado at 10:l(
o'clock Monday night south of Pleasan.

Almost every session of the board Of
supervisors for the past two years has
had a crowd before it who were inter-
I ested either in a road or school and in
nearly every case the interested
parties had divergent views on the
| question and quite often strong feel
! ings have been displayed, and some
rather ludicrous Incidents have oc-
!. Cured. One of the ''warmest' that
have yet been before the board wa a

county that made a plea last Tuesday
\ morning to have the board change the

I was agreed on last February which
goes by Wahalak, to a road to 60 by
J Gholson, Kellis Store, Moscow W, etc.

The other side of the question, or
rather the road that has been agreed
upon, was represented by Mr.. c. s.
Field, the other members of the road
I commission of district four, and he had
1 the advantage of being in possession
of the road that was agreed on by the
board and the road commissioners at
the February meeting. There was a
