Tornado Near Birmingham, Ala.
A destructive cyclone visited
the section of the country near
Birmingham, Ala , or the county
line of Blount and Cullman coun-
ties, about 2 o’clock Wednesday
morning So far thirteen dead
bodies have been found and
more than a score have been in-
jured. Henry McCoy and his
entire family of seven were
killed, and a farmer by the name
of John Griffin together with his
son are among the dead.
1 linger to which she has
a ministering angel cam
led by the score. Of her it
e truly said “None knew
R
-
her bu* 'blove her none named
her but to praise.”
Though there was no sister or
daughter to care for her in her
long painful sickness there was
always a loving hand near to
sooth and caress as the women,
io whom she had been so kind,
vied with each other in loving
attentions. A husband and
grown son, Herbert, survive
her and between this mother
and son, there was an unusual
affection—he wTas her pride and
’?asure—and to him the sym-
pu,hy of every heart goes out as
he learns to live with that de-
voted mother. To those who
sorrow we come with no w’ords

Words are poor and empty in an
hour so dark. We would only

Obituary.
Cecia Ann Hobbs was born in
Graves county. Kentucky, May
31st, 1846; married to W. H.
O'Bannon August 15th, 1864;
and died in Bal'inger, Texas,
April 8th, 1903. Such is the
brief record of a beautiful life
that has gone from us forever
and it tells nothing of the loveli-
ness of that life nor the grief
and pain or those who loved her
so much.
earth is poorer and
withouth, but—thank God,
heavens grow brighter with
ery star transplanted to
firmament above and the
traction to our longing hearts is
stronger with every flower of
earth carried away from us by
hands of the angels to bloom
forever in the gardens of God.
The death angel entered her
home early in her married life,
and took away two infants then
a daughter of seven years, so
her son took her to Brenham,
Texas and put her
loved ones to await
rection.
Her grief, while
her life, drew her nearer to God
and made her a sweeter, more
consecrated Christian and the
friend of everyone in trouble.
Her ear was ever open to the
cry Of distress and rhe homes

Market Letter.
Special to Banner-Leader.
Kansas City, Mo., April 7, 1903.
Quarantine receipts continue
light. The market made a brisk
movement last week and trade
was active and snappy. Yester-
day and today the market has
been satisfactory and receipts
have contained some of the best
cattle, both steers and heifers
seen here on Texas side
year. The high top of $4.75
reached yesterday but this
improved today when $4.80
paid for some 1321 lb
noted below. Bulls are selling
better this week but are still un-
popular. Several strings of
heifers have brought over $4.00
recently, better prices for heif-
ers being paid today, $4.10; sale
also noted below. Prices are
good and trading is soon over,
the market being in a very grat-
ifying condition. The following
are some of the sales at Kansas
City yesterday and today:

Hog receipts have been im-
proving the past week, but
prices are almost the same as a
week ago The market lost 5e
today, as the run of 12,000 head
was the largest had here recent-
ly. However, prices are high,
and with a top today of 7.40, and
bulk selling from 7.20 to 7.35,
shippers cannot complain. Pack-
ers seem unable to bear prices.
Sheep receipts are liberal, but
prices are not affected thereby.
8000 head to day only seemed to
further whet the rppetites of
the pacaers, and they went after
thedi with a rush. Colorado
lambs sold at 7.60 today, the
best price to dfcte. Spring lambs
are selling at 10.00 and 11.00.
Wethers made a new high mark
yesterday 6.80 and ewes at 6.90.
Texas grass sheep bring 5.80 to
5.85, as to condition. Prospects
were never better for the Texas
sheep season.
