A strange coincident of yeaterdav 's storm In Coptab county is that this is the fourth time a cyclone has followed practically that path. The big cycleoe that destroyed Monti eel to in 18H2, and the one that swept Beauregard out of existence just one year to the hour aft rwards, were wit hin a niile or so of the path of yesterdays storm.

In the telegraphic columns will lie found an account of a terrible cyclone that visited Copiah county yesterdav. carrying deal and destruction in its path. It is probably that more damage has been done than the accounts indi eete, for all telephone lines in that eountj are down, and it was with the greatest diflknltj that a ay information at all was to be had.

They were there, and they started to take dinner, but it is ery doubt ful about their gt-tt ing as much ms tney wanted. Before the curtain hail been drawn on the dining scene I'hil Kimball took; to the roof of the cage and Kav Stewart ifot around in the rear of the trainer. The management must have bad an idea that the young men were going to ioiak a break for liberty for they bad a photographer on hand nod Kimball ts said to have been photographed as lae ''skinned'' up the side of the cage.

Ihirtng the meal old Nero, the big Lion went on a tour of investigation. Sauntering around the table he start 1 ed in the direction of Kimball to see what he was doing there, it is supposed and Kimball took to he woods. Stewart followed suit in short order, and while he did not get a tree on v.tae lion, he got in the rear of the train er and felt considerably MkfeT. as most anybody else would have done. Tonight there will In- other perfor mances jiist as interesting, and it be that the lion will catch the young lady who enters the cage to get married.
