for this kind of weather.

Disastrous Tornado In
Gainesville.
Gainesville was visited by a
disastrous tornado Monday after
noon, which resulted in the death
of about one hundred people and
the loss of property estimated at
more than *1500,000. The casu
alties were principally at the
Gainesville cotton mill and thej
Pacolet mill, where there was also j
[heavy loss to property. It wasi
|one of the most disastrous storms
that ever visited this state.
There has been great distress
among the families of the opera
tives, many of whom were- killed,
and the people of the'stale have
•made liberal-contributions to aid
-V ■ •* %
the suffering.
The Game of Traveler.
The traveler leaves the room.
The rest of the company decide on
the countries they will represent.
These are some of the representa
tions which may be used: A girl
who represents a Turkish lady may
recline upon a sofa. For her tur
ban she may use a twisted handker
chief, and she may smoke a pipe
made from an ordinary stick. A
German lady should be knitting,
with her feet on the stove. A Lap
lander, warmly wrapped, should be
6hown driving reindeers, which may
be represented by turned over chairs.
The Lap should have a rug over his
knees. A gypsy tent may be easily
contrived with a shawl and a cou
ple of chairs. A German student
can he shown singing a Rhine song,
wearing a turndown collar and car
rying a knapsack and a book. Oth
er countries may be represented by
similar simple devices. When all
are ready, the traveler comes into
the room and endeavors to guess
what nation each person represents
by his appearance, occupation, etc.
