some of their acts over so considerately
and what a translorinutioii! You would
think you had done theui a mortal injury.

portunity of studying this phase of
humanity, and unless he is an archangel
tho chuuee presents itself frequently."

New Komi Law Sot In Effect This Yenr.
Some of our people seem to bo under
the impression that there has been
change in the method of electing road
commissioners, path masters, etc., or,
rather, that the new road law passed by
the recent legislature goes into oiled this
year. This is a mistake, as the 21st see
tion of the set provides that "the provis
ion of this act shall not go intoell'ect un
til the sum of one million dollars has
been appropriated by act of Assombly
or shall have boou received in tho State
Troasury from taxes for road purposes
the Fame to be distributed under direc
tions of tho Department among the sev
eral townships of tho State in proportion
to the number of miles of public roads in
each township."
Tho legislature not having made tho
million dollar appropriation, on account
of a lack of funds, it will be evident to all
that the now law does not go into effect
tins year, and in consequence, the sev
eral townships will pursue the same
course as heretofore iu the matter of
electing road officers and conducting
road affairs generally.
Tornado in Arkansas.
The most terrible tornado evor known
in the southwest burst upon the State of
Arkansas on the night of the 13th inst.,
when doubtless a hundred or more lives
were lost, and millions of dollars worth
of proporty destroyed. The exact num
ber of lives lost will probably nover be
known. At Fort Smith alone more than
two score are roported lost, and upwards
of $1,000,000 in property gone.
Tho stcrin tore its way through tho
entire State, leaving its path marked by
death and desolation. Men, womoii and
children asleep in their homes wore with
out a moment's warning awakened to
meet death under falling walls or iu the
Haines which soon engulfed many of tho
wrecked buildings.
With the crash of tho storm business
blocks, handsome dwellings, hotels and
cottages were leveled to the ground ami
scattered la ehapoless masses.
Some of the wrecks caught fire and the
