10000 Persons
Die In Earthquake
Fire Follows Tidal Wave In Far
Off Japan, Last Saturday,
Report.

Virtual destruction of Toxic
and Yokohama is reported in the
first direct communication re-
ceived from Toxic by the outside
world since the earthquake and
tidal wave, following in places
by fire, laid waste to- an import
ant section of Hondo, chief is
land of Japan, last Saturday.
The communication was from
an Associated Press correspond
ent.
The first comprehensive view
of the havoc wrought was re-
ceived in cable advices from
Osaka.
1t appears from these that
the disaster is greater than pre-
vious rep9gts have indicated.
The ministry Of marine esti-
mates the dead in Toxic alone
at 100000, the best estimates
place the dead in Yokohama at
100000; virtual destruction of
Nagova, town of $4,000 is re-
ported, and Yokosuka a town of
10000 is said to have been wip-
ed out by the successive attacks
Of earthquake tidal wave and

HARRISON STONE A. H. S.
OPENS SEPTEMBER II

The annual session of the Har-
rison-Stone Agricultural High
School will begin on Sept. II,
1928. With addresses by State
Supt. Bond of Jackson, H. E.
Blakeslee of the Dixie Press,
Supt. r. V. Thames, Supt. Buren
Broadus, and others. There will
be a barbecue and basket picnic
dinner on the grounds.
The following announcement
in made:
eve wish to let the people of
Harrison and Stone Counties
know some of the things we did
here last year, and also some of
the things we expect to do this
year. l made known through
the press to the taxpayers of
the two counties that / could
show at the close of last years
school where every dollar of the
money expended by this school
went. I made my annual report
which shows that after all the
debts of the school had been
paid, we had to our credit ovdr
100000. My report is now in
the hands of the Board of Trus-
tees, and expect to have it in
another issue of this paper.
During the last term we
placed the farm on a self sup
porting basis, and repaired the
dormitories and administration
building and have them in bet
ter condition than they have
been in years, and all those who
know best tell us that the school
last year was the best it has
been in years. We also installed
a new light plant and motor to
run the pump, built new shed,
remodeled the work shop,
screened the boys dormitory and
the Domestic Science rooms,
placed new window shades in
both boys and girls dormitories
placed in our library and labora-
tory books and equipment to
more than 100000, and many
other things too numerous to
mention.
"Some of the things we expect
to do this year: We have just
finished new cement walk from
the fountain to the front gate. of
the campus, and are today finish
ing repainting our watertank;
Stone County enterprise. [volume] (Wiggins, Stone County, Mississippi) 1916-current, 1923-09-06

we are expecting to begin
tomorraw to re-paint both the
dormitories and the administra-
tion building, on the out side. We
are also installing a new motion
picture and stereoptican machine
and expect as soon as school
opens to organize a Brass Band.
But this is not the greatest
thing in our minds for this year.
We believe the one thing the
people are most interested in is,
not the beautifying buildings
and grounds, but the way in
which the children are going to
be cared for and taught. We
have spared neither time nor
effort to secure the very best
faculty possible, and believe we
have a force of teachers second
to none in the state, or out of
the state for that matter.
Our teachers are: J. H. Forbis
Supt; E. B. Colmer, Agricultur-
list; w. r. Cain, Assist. Agricul-
turist; B. P. Webb, Math. and
Athletics; G.. P. Poulk, English
and Science; Miss Mary Hinton,
History, French and Education
Miss Myrtle Smith, Commercial,
Latin and girls Athelitic coast !;
Miss Lois Caraway, Home
Science and Biology; Mrs. j. c..
Prince, Music and expression !;
Mrs. Forbis, Matron.
"The outlook is very bright
for a full attendance this year,
as nealy all of the rooms in the
dormitories have been assigned.
We hope the people of the two
counties will visit our school and
know what we are doing.
eve take this opportunity of
giving a special invitation to all
the members of the Board of
Trustees to be at our school
