It shows a great deal more sense to be afraid on such and get yourself up to out for danger, than it does to lie down wit eyes in sleep.

It is won¬ what, marvellous strength people display under cir¬ of this kind. I could of some great exhibitions of did I think they would be credited. Many townsgn Geor¬ and Mississippi were greatly by the cyclone last Fri¬ day night, besides several deaths which it caused.
