Funerals Yesterday.
There were several funerals at
Braxton yesterday, and large pro-
ceSSlOnS of Borrowing mOurnerS
followed the remains to Their final
resting places. People were pres
ent from many sections, several
from Kinds and Rankin.
Sadder or more impressive fun
eral services were never held in
the state. There will be other
funerals today.
The Wounded at do.
The Finkbine people kindly NOV
ed all the wounded to their ele-
giant new lPineview hospital at
D'Lo, furnishing their own and
other surgeons to wait upon the
afflicted, with DR.. NJ. L. Flynt in
charge, assisted by DR.. R. Burnett,
and other surgeons from Simpson
and CovingtOn counties. A dozen
more nurses are needed.
The Pineview is one of the best
appointed hospitals in the state,
and in asking to be permitted to
care for the wounded the Fink
bine people covered themselves all
over with glory.
A Generous Act
Among the first to tender SER
vice and assistance to the afflicted
sufferers of the great cyclone was
Laurence C.. Jones, of the Piney
Woods Country Life School. Ac-
commanded bv his wife. and 1876
students he remained at Braxton
all day yesterday, doing every
thing possible to assist the dis
tresSed.
He has rendered the relief COM
mittee the use of his new dormi-
tory, Just finished and not yet oc-
cuDied, containing 46 rooms, and
this generous offer will doubtless
be accepted.
Much more might be written a.
bout the Braxton cyclone, which o.
riginated southwest Of the town,
and did some. damage five miles
west Of the place. but the above
will suffice for the present.
I close by maxine an appeal to
the citizens Of Jackson and other
parts Of the state to- remember the
suffering people of Braxtor and
urge them to send contributions
as they are willing to make, to
Minis Williams, chairman Of the
relief work at Braxton. The Suf-
ferers need clothing, household eff
facts. bedding and groceries.
