Terrible Becord of Destruction—A Mother
Cruted by the Killing of Her Three Children—
A Wife and Fire Children Killed—Ten Whiles
and Sixteen Negroes Killed—Loss, *100,000.
Columbus, Ga., March 22,1875.
Storms occurred Saturday between 11 and
12 o’clock. There appeared to be four whirl
winds, or tornadoes, one near Wbiteville, in
Harris county ; another from Harris c ounty
iuto Meriwether; another near Hamilton, and
another frmn Harris through Talbot. Tho
two first created immense havoc to property,
but no lives were lost; the one near Hamiltou
killed three children of H. W. Pitts, and bad
ly wounded two others, one having both legs,
both arms and a tbigh brokoD, and injured
Pitts and bis wife. Tho latter is bereft of
reason from grief. Every house in its courso,
for twenty miles in length and half a mile in
width, was levelled, trees blown down aud
carried hundreds of feet, add fences scattered
everywhere: furniture, clothing, stock, etc.,
all gone, and the people suffering ou account
of the destructiou of food. The fourth was
most destructive, for twenty miles in length
and half a mile in width, its path is marked
by ruin and devastation. Tho little village of
Mount Airy, in Harris county, was totally de
stroyed ; not. a house standing. Tho wife and
five children—four grown, three of which were
young lad ins—of Capt. J. U. Konnon were kill
ed and tliclr bodies blown from fifty to oue
hundred yards, and Capt. Kennon Gas hurt in
the ehoulder. Two of his sons were saved,
being absent from home. Mr. Hunt was in
jured in the spine, Wm. McGhee had two ribs
broken, and goods and clothing scattered all
around; Maj. John U. Walton escaped nar
rowly, his residence being demolished ; teach
er Clarke and wife are mortally wounded, and
their child had an arm fractured ; Rev. J. B.
McGhee had his jaw broken and was injured
internally; his daughter aud son injured; Tom
Neal was hurt and his houso utterly blown
away.
Baughville, Talbot county, was completely
demolished. Elisha Culpepper was killed, his
wife and daughter-in-law was seriously wound
ed, and Mrs. Burdell had both legs broken.
Among others badly hurt aro Mrs. Miller B
Phillips, Mrs. Bradshaw and son, a daughter
of Prof. Chaplain, and a son of Capt. C. Cal-
boun, in all, ten whites and sixteen negroes
killed, and five churches demolished, six stores
aud four school-houses destroyed. Total loss
over one hundred thousand dollars.
Columbus has voted four thousand dollars
to the sufferers. IlamiltoD and Talbotton es
caped by a mile and a half. Direction of the
storm was northeast.
A gentleman came in on the Southwestern
train this morning for six coffins for ono family
—that of Capt. John Kennon—his wife, three
daughters, and two sons.

TnoMASTON, Ga., March 22, 1875.
The course of the storm was through the
county from west to east, passing near Tboni
aston, demolishing fences, trees and houses in
its path.
Mr. Doc McKenny’s gin-house and out
houses, and the chimneys to his dwelling were
down ; one negro was killed, and another
fatally injured. Marching t>n in its fury,
damaging every plantation, more or less,
through which it passed, doing considerable
njury to Mr. Levi Middlebrook's out-houses,
serionsly injuring another negro. A fow miles
further on it blew literally away the dining
room of Mr. Thomas Poach, as well as other
wise damaging bis dwelling. In addition ta
this the bouse took fire, and would, iu all prob-
ability, liavo been consumed but for a timely
passer that was cither coming or the wind bad
bronght that way, we have not learned which
Furthor on a trea was blown on Mr. Rat
cliff, seriously if not mortally hurting him.—
Another gentleman in tho same neighborhood
is reported to bave nad his spina broken by
fiyiDg rail.
We are at present unable to state whether
this cyclone originated with “Old Probabili
ties” or somewhere else at the seat of Govern
tnent, hup.this we do know^ that it acted
accordance with 1 the provisions of tho Civil
Rights bill in giv'mg tho colored race an equal
showing in all of its privileges and amenities.

THE WAY TO WOO.
Don't be in too great a burry;
Hurries never pay;
Take your time—a wary general
Always feels his way.
Do not pull yonr line too quickly;
Rather let it play.
Take her sometimes to a concert—
Sometimes to a ball;
Sometimes spend a pleasant evening—
Sometimes only call;
Sometimes 'twill be for the wisest
Not to go at all!
Do not meet your would-bo rivals
With a jealous frown;
Show ber that you don't caro two-ponce
For any man In town.
Praise her other beaux; thon surely
She will run them down.
Send her presents—not too costly—
Trifles light as air;
Dainty fruits to please her palate:
Flowers for her hair—
Something that will show you obese it
Fairest for tho fair.
Vex her sometimes (constant sunshine
Is so very tame) Cf
Just a little dash of water
Brightens up a flame;
Love that doesn’t fizz aud splutter
Isn’t worth tbe name. i ti.
Then at last, some quiet evening
(Moonlit nights are stale),
Drop into her cosy parlor,
Looking rather pale.
Strive to hide your woe unuttered.
But be sure to fail..
Just hint of a distant jonrney
As a secret half confessed;
Darkly speak of bidden sorrow.
That forbids yon rest;
Whisper that 'tis hard to leave ber.
But, perhaps, 'tis beet.
