It is said that an appeal to eonfrees
for the loan to the city of
several million dollars with interest
and to be eecnred by mortgage is to
be made by the busiueess men of
I San Francisco. The loan is planned
to run for a long period of years
Herbert E. Law, one of the wealthy
men in the state, is now in Washington
to consult the president on the
t' matter.
A company has been formed of
\ several prominent business men, Oo! .
lumbia, who have purchased the old
Methodist Female College, on Plain
street, with the purpose of converting
the building into a tourist hotel
for winter visitors to that city. A
v capital idea and one that is bound to
succeed.
The Fire Engine.
Tbe exbtbitions ana tests 01 tee
new fire engine for the past few even*
mgs, drawing water from the branch
| with its hesa aad throwing streams"
of water upon the conrl} house and
other buildings on the street, proved
|| satisfactory to the town council and
* i they have purchased the engine, reel
and hose for the town. It will be
stationed at the branch near the
water supply where it can be placed
at work in a short time. A fire com
pany will be organized and members
will be in readiness, at the call, for
action in case of fire. We trust we
may never have occasion to U9e this
machine for a fire, but should we be
so unfortunate as to have such a call,
let every citizen respond promptly
and rally to the reel and spread the
hose for action, snd we think the
engine will do the- work.

Pleasant Entertainment.
The entertainment giveu by tbe
Ladies7 Aid society of tbe Baptist
. church last night at the residence of

ed by those who attended. Delightful

beautiful bouquet of fl )wers was voted
to Miss Aonie Martha Meetze as
the moat popular young lady, while
Mr. Sam P. Roof received the bouquet
for being the handsomest youog
man* Miss] Helen Coiiey drew a
handsome water set and Mr* Julian
Meetze and Miss Ruth Efird and Mr.
James Yon and Miss Helen Corley
were the lucky ones to win the cakes.
The proceeds go to the benefit of the
Baptist church for improvements, &s.
These social entertainments are

SCOTT'S
Emulsion
When you go to a drug store
and ask for Scott's Emulsion
you know what you want; the
man knows you ought to have
it. Don't be surprised, though, j
if you are offered something j
... < ?
else. Wines, coraiais, extracts,
etc., of cod liver oil are plentiful
but don't imagine you are
getting cod liver oil when you
take them. Every year for thirty
years we've been increasing
the sales of Scott's Emulsion.
Why? Because it has always
been better than any substitute
for it.

Tornado Sleeps a Tesas Tows.
Forfe Worth, April 27.?A dispatch
frost Belleview places the loss of life
there by last eight's tornado at fourteen.
The town was partly wrecked,
the buildings, which caught fire after
the storm passed, being burned today.
A car load of previsions was
T5Vi??f Wnrth frhia mnrninor I
CCUU Aiviu i. v/i V fcw.w ? gy
and tents and beddiDg are being
rushed to the placf.
The tornado destroyed everything
in its path and as a result practically
the entire town is a mass of ruins.
The whole business section of the
town acd slocks of merchandise were
destroyed. The property Iobs will
probably reach $200,000.
Six hundred of our people are
homeless and practically destitute.
Thirteen were killed and a number
seriously iDjared. Help of every
kind is needed, and the relief committee
appeals to the public for aid.
. The tornado was a mile wide and
traveled over the earth for a distance
of eight miles, leveling everything in
its path, ruining crops and destroying
all farm houses and debris on the
way. The fact that so few were kill
ed is accounted for by the fact that
practically every house was equipped
with storm cellar aud the people ran
to them as soon as they saw the tornado
approaching. Those who hsd
no storm cellars or who could not
reach them were the ones who suffered.
Towns of Stoneburg and Hamilton
also suffered terrible. Tea to fifcei n
deaths in the former and great iosst I
everywhere in ite Scope.
Additional B. F. D. Semes.
Through the efforts of Congressman
A. F. Lever, R. F D. route No.
4, from Lexington has been extended
as follows: Southwest to H. Dooley's
corner, southeast to M. Sox's corner,
east to Steele's corner, northeast to
5. Sox's corner, west to Shull's corner,
northwest to J. J Lown's place,
northeast to Sandy Ford, northwest
to Sonfflatown and Dortbwest to Lexington
postcffice.
*Tbis is a very important change as
it will serve fifty additional families
who were very much inconvenienced
by lack of mail. In fact this is" the
first time tbat this section has bad
good mail facilities and it should be
well patronized and supported by the
people; for it was only through the
repeated efforts and personal attention
of Mr. Lever that this service
was extended.
Hurrah for Fred Harman.
Mr Fred Harman has announced
his candidacy for the legislature in
Ricbiand county, and has been endorsed
by his club If Fred's friends
are as numerous in Richland as they
are in Lexington, his native bom-",
