DEVOTED TO THE MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT OF CHEROKEE, THE BEST COUNTY IN NORTH GEORGIA. VOLUME 40. CANTON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 12, 1915. - ^ NUMBER 46. KILLS TOWNS IE Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 11.— A tornadc swept over parts of Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota last night, wrecking many buildings and killing a number of persons.

Estimates of the dead ran as high as fifty or sixty. Great Bend, Kan., reported the worst damage, with twelve persons killed and more than one hundred injured. Many Towns Wrecked Among the towns in which buildings were reported de stroyed were Clafling, Kan., Hoisington, Kan., Larned, Kan. and Hartford, §. D. One brief report from Great Bend said that half of the hous es in the city were demolished and tht the Santa Fe station was razed. MISSIONARY RALLY LARGELY ATTENDED The Woman’s Missionary Rally of the Methodist church was held in Canton on Friday The rally was largely attended and the program rendered was attractive and highly instruc tive. At noon a sumptuous lunch eon was served at the church, which was thoroughly relished by all. Quite a number of out-of- town people were here to par ticipate in the rally and each hour was filled with good things. BANKER FOUND DEAD. Cornelia, Ga., Nov. 11.—A. M.

While the past five years bringing us to November 1, 1915, shows the splendid gain of 61 per cent in five years with our present membership at 485.

They go with such vigor and dash that all sorts of obstacles are swept aside and their vic tory seems overwhelming to the weaker spirits. You can’t all win. There are five prizes and there will be five winners. But every con testant in the race will be win ner in many ways. You will have won the respect and ad miration of every resident in Cherokee county who has watched this trial of strength and who cannot do other than admit that the ladies in this race who fought it out to the last ditch and never cried “enough” or never acknowledg ed that they were beaten, are possessors of all the requisites (Continued on page &) six of the victims were residents of New York.

Why she went and where she went is the big question that is being discussed around the dark belt skin games and in the dusky sewing circles. Alice Palmer doesn’t know. John Alexander doesn’t know.

They know more about the appointments than I do.” RUTH SHEFFIELD Friends of Mr. and Mrs. D. F.

Interment was at the family burying grounds on Wednesday, with funeral services by Rev. W. H.

Mr. Sum merour has very good reasons to believe that he has “struck it rich” and developments are awaited with interest. TERRELL SPEED DIES.
