The regular terms of Messrs. Boyd and Allen expire and a successor to Mr. Hall is to be elected, also a successor to Mr. Kiucaid, if his present plans are carried out. He is building east of town aud expects to move to his new dwelling this spring we under stand. Therefore the election is of unusual importance in this respect. Hut in a larger aud more vital sence it is important, because our town is growing and developing as never be fore. New people are coiuins; iu, new enterprises are being started and new and unexpected demands are be ing made upon the towu Govern ment, that should be met promptly and intelligently. The Mayor is by long odds the most important factor iu a town government, he can hold his towu back or push it forward, can make it an inviting Held for citizens or capital or he can make it the reverse. Then it is important that a man who realizes these facts and will act upon them be chosen for this office. Some very im)ortant problems are "right up against" the t w ii for solution, to wit: Water and sewerage, eriuauent street im proTcinsnts and the extension of the town limits. Hcsides the town as a town iiiiiM lie kept clean as possible morally and materially. Now the question is, who are the men to do tlit'se I hint;". The election is only little over u month ofT and it is high t'liie the mutter was receiving attention. School Closing. Storm Did $1,000,000 Damaje. Meridnn. Miss., March IS. - Nineteen people are known to have been killed as a result of the tornado which swept over this city shortly after 6 o, clock last evening. Twenty-four persons were injured and property with an estimated value of $1,000,000 was demolished or otherwise dam aged. Many sensational reports were sent out from here of an appalling loss of life, due probably to the chao tic condition of affairs immediately following the visitation of the storm. Meridan, Miss., March 4. The re vised list of dead and injured as the resnlt of the turnado which swept through this city Friday evening shows a total of 24 dead and 46 in jured, a number of whom are not expected to live. No additional deaths have been reported since last night. A very interesting: entertainment was given last Saturday night at the close of Mr. C. L Robbin's school at Pleasant Grove. A large crowd at tended these exercises. In fact, the house, though one of the largest pub- lie school houses in the county, could not hold all the people present. The number present Is estimated to have been about Ore or six hundred The program consisting of songs, recitations and tablaux, wj well rendered On Friday night a debate was giv en by the young men of the school, Query: "Resolved, That the .South has produced greater men than the North." The speeches were all good The decison was rendered in favor of affirmative. Mr. Robbing is one of our most promising young men, and the pa trons are highly pleased with the ex? cellent services that he and his as sistant, Miss Mary Lou Satterwhite, have given. They have had a very successful term and the school has the proud distinction of having en rolled all the children in the district eicept three. Judging from the splendid showing this school has made the people of this community much interested in education. J. F. C. Seaboard Offices Burn. Portsmouth, Va., March 4.

"Kkpohtkr." In Memoriam. As Qod in His wisdom has taken from the family of our beloved Bro, and Sister, Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Shu ford, on the 12th day of February, 1909, the precious little daughter, Annie Belle, the youngest of 8 chil dren, we wish to pay this little trib ute of respect to her memory and of sympathy to the bereaved family even at the-late date. Annie was a sweet little girl of 2 years, and 10 months of age and not withstanding she was so small she seemed greatly interested in going to Sunday School. She talked about it .often. We believe she is enjoyiug the Sabbath that shall never end. If the loved ones who are left to weep had known they must give up one of the 8 children, we doubt whether they could have decided that they could best spare the baby. the second little girl, but God saw it so and He says all things work to gether for good, etc. God is too wise to err and too good to be unkind; so dear ones we would say, set back the vacant chair, smooth the impressed pillow and weep not for her, for when Christ comes again she will be with Hiiu. Now to the sister and brothers, let us all strive to be ready to meet Him in peace, bearing golden sheavse for the harvest field is already white to harvest for there is really only two things worth living for First to get ready to live with God, second to help others get ready.

A man who parts his hair in the middle Is apt to hide under the bed while his wife goes downstairs to in terview the burglar. Among the other lost arts is that of keeping one's mouth closed when there,s nothing more to say. It is strange how willing the lady who "really prefers" to stand in a street car, is to sacrifice her preference. 'How to Travel' is the title of a book just out.
