BRINKLEYS DISASTER.
The fearful catastrophe at Brinkley
Monday night cast a shadow over our
city and brought forth many evidenc* s
of sorrow and sympathy for our ca
lamity-stricken sister city, from all
our citizens young and old, white and
black as well as many generous, un
selfish acts, deeds and donations, that
spoke louder than words, and tending
to show that the hearts of our jteople
as a whole are In the right spot, and
that they are ever ready to give or do,
according to their ability, when help
is needed in a worthy cause, as was
so nobly shown when the first tidings
of the dire disaster that had overta
ken our neighboring city of Brinkley
reached here Monday night.
Within a few minutes after Fire
Chief McDaniel sounded the call for
the volunteer firemen, every member
of the company had reported and
were under orders and awaiting trans
portation to the stricken city. Be
sides the firemen of whom there were
twenty or more, Drs. Merritt. Bogart.
Longest. MclKJugal. Shields and W ar
ren, City Marshal Davis, and between
thirty and forty other citizens were
on hand and went as a relief force to
the scene, all ready and willing to do
alt in their power to tight tire, help
search for dead or injured, and. in
fact do anythingtbey could to aid the
stricken Brinkleyites. With this re
•ief party was also Mr. S. B. Conrad,
lineman for the Western f 'nion Tele
graph Company, and Mr. Troutman,
lineman for the A. I>. T. & T. Co.,
and these two gentlemen did tine
work in restoring Brinkley's wire
communication with the outside
world. At Wheatley, the only stop
marie by the train between Forrest
City and Brinkley the relief party was
augmented by several citizen, among
whom was Dr. Beauchamp.
In addition to those named above,
nearly every physician in town went
the (scene Tuesday and gave all t lie
aid they could in caring for the
injured.
When the first news of the disaster
reached here, it was feared that the
fire fiend would add its horrors to
the already fearful wreck and ruin.
However, a torrent of rain which fell
shortly after the storm,while it added
to the discomforts of the situation,
prevented a terrible conflagration
from adding its ravages to the work
of the tornado.
On account of the entire tire appa
ratus at Brinkley being destroyed or
buried underneath the debris, the au
thorities there requested Chief Mc
Daniel to leave the hose and reels
that were carried over Monday night,
which was done.
The relief party began returning to
Forrest City Tuesday morning on the
4 o'clock train, bringing the first
news of the disaster. After that every
train on the Hock Island lias iieen
crowded with a capacity load of pas
sengers to and from tlie scene of the
disaster. And the supply of adjec
tives is all inadequate for the ret urn
ing visitors to describe the harrowing
scenes they have wiidessed.
Tuesday mornings lo:.;o train
brought in the first six 1 todies taken
from the wreckage.they being brought
here to !>e embalmed and prepared for
burial in the undertaking parlors of
A. L. Stevens & Co. Among these
bodies was one of an unidentified
white woman. Some of the bodies
were horribly disfigured, so as to lie
almost unrecognizable, and in one
case tiie Iwdy was so badly crushed
and mangled, as to render embalming
impossible. beautiful I caskets of
flowers were sent from Marianna, and
a profusien of lovely bouquets wore
brought or sent by the ladies of For
rest City to adorn the caskets of tiie
dead.
Tuesday morning s train carried a
supply of bread and other food studs
to tiie stricken town and that after
noon Cashier Eugene Williams, of
tiie Bank of Forrest City circulated a
subscription list, and in a couple of
hours had raised something over $300
or tiie relief fund. Wednesday morn
fng a mass meeting was held at the
courthouse, presided over by Hon. B.
J. Izard, and enough subscribed to
raise tiie fund to IlSOo, with assur
ances that tiie amount would be
doubled if it was needed. A com
mittee was appointed and left at once
for Brinkley to notify the relief com
mittee of this action, and authorize
them to draw on us for tiie funds
whenever they should require it.

Music Lessons Free
The only way to teach music thoroughly is to l>e systematic about it. There
is a place to teach EVERYTHIN!! and everything should be taught in it*
; place. '
How many music teachers, do you suppose, plan an entire course of stud*
for each pupil, then teach each point just where it should l>e taught and
! stick to it until it is learned, before taking up something new? Not one in
live hundred.
We not only do that, hut we study out the simplest and easiest ways to get
all these things before the minds of our very young pupils in the shortest
possible time. The more studying WE do for our pupils, the less they have
to do.
In short, we make ti e teaching ot music a science, and years of experience
with thousands of puoils, have proven that by our method we can teach more
music in less time ana do it better than by any other method.
We are so confident of this that our Certificate of Scholarship contains
printed guarantee to refund the tuition if we fail.
Our prices are moderate and within the reach of all. tn
Vie are now organizing our 1909 classes for pupils who wish to com*
Nashville to study as well as for those who wish to study at home—wheui
in City, Town or Country. Our country pupils get exactly the same course
Instruction as those who come here. u
To convince you that our method is all we claim for it, we will give *
one lesson FREE at your home, if you will till nut thisrnnnon and mail it to^ _
