YOUNG LADIES' CLASS
WILL REPEAT PROGRAM

The Y. L. w. G. entertainment at
the theatre last Thursday night drew
large crowd despite the heavy rain
which began pouring down about seven
o'clock and continued for two hours or
more. The door receipts amounted to
about $4,000. The program was good
and drew much applause from the
audience. Each number on both the
classical and popular programs was
well rendered.
SO many requests from people who
were prevented from attending this
program on account of the rainstorm
have been made that the young women
have consented to give second per-
formance on Thursday night, December
10. 1t has been decided further to
add a number of new features-in fact
1t will be almost an entire change OF
program. Some of the best features
of the former show will be used to
which will be added male quartette
or two by Mrs. Thompsons pupils; a
trio by Mrs. Johnston's pupils, solos
by Miss Mary Sue Wiley and Lavelle
Carter and heavy chorus by the en-
tire class. The second entertainment
will be better than the first, so the
ladies say. watch for further an
nouncement next week.

GIN AND STORE ARE
BURNED AT MANSON

Damage estimated at $4,000 was
caused by fire which destroyed the
Pitzele gin and store at Manson last
Wednesday night.
The fire started late at night and,
when discovered, had gained such
headway that all efforts to extingulsh
1t were futile.
The gin building. with a quantity of
lint cotton, seed and all the machinery,
was a complete loss. The Pitzele store,
which adjoined the gin, and which
contained a stock of general merchan-
disc, was also consumed.
The loss to the Pitzele interests was
total as there was no insurance. The
origin of the fire has not been deter
mined. 1t has not yet been announced
whether or not the Pitzele company
will rebuild.

ARKANSAS HURRICANE
KILLS FORTY-EIGHT

Forty eight persons were killed, hun
dreds were injured and hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars in property dam
age resulted in a storm that struck
several sections in Arkansas last
Thursday night.
Heber Springs, in Cleburne county,
suffered the greater force Of the hurri-
cane. In that vicinity q persons were
killed and rs injured
Freaks Of the storm at Heber Springs
are still being recounted. The tele-
phone exchange was only slightly dam
aged though ten blocks of dwellings
on one side of it were razed, two houses
within half a dozen feet on the other
side destroyed, a pole struck by light
ming just outside, and concrete fill
ing station blown down nearby. Mary
Eason and Mrs. Lyde Hawkins, the
operators, were not hurt. They, to-
gether with telegraph operators, have
been on duty ceaselessly handling the
hundreds Of messages that have stream
ed in and out following the storm.
A horse was blown out of wrecked
stable and deposited bodily in a field
mile away. It was injured, but not
killed, and the fences and gates around
the field were left standing.
A bowl of goldfish, in which the
fish still swan composedly, was found
amid the ruins of the Baptist parson-
age, inhabited by the family Of Rev.
L. r. Ashley. Its ownership is in dis
pute, since the Ashley family had no
such pets.
A half-fnished quilt in a quilting
frame was swirled out of a house and
found in the street, the frame still
intact.
Tree tops everywhere, were full Of
clothing, and rags, waving like the
trimmings of Christmas trees.
Houses left standing are packed with
anywhere from one to three extra
families, so that the housing problem
has not yet formed. Tents furnished
by the national guard are available
for the immediate future.
Heber Springs is the home Of the
Rev. Mr.. and Mrs A. t. Galloway,
formerly of Pocahontas. Their home
was destroyed in the storm and the
North Arkansas Methodist Conference,
in session at Paragould, subscribed
$4,000 to aid the family.
Several sections Of Randolph county
reported high winds but little, IL any,
property damage was done.
