Closing Oat of Groceries.
We call attention in this issue to the
advertisementofJno.lt. Shaw. He
proposes to close out his entire stock
of family groceries. Mr. Shaw has
been in active grocery business in
Americas for fourteen
and groceries well selected have been
a willing factor in it during all that
period. Hence, his skill and ta«te in
the accumulation of his present large
stock, lie proposes now to sell out
this branch of his business at rates
ranging from actual cost, to points so
low as to l>e below the range of vision
to be visible. Go in and price
his fine selections for the Americas
market. His object is to devote his
ntlre attention to and make rooai for
his mammoth stock of dry goods,
clothing, shoes und shirts, White
Sewing Machine, and Tutt’s liver
pills. John R. is a patent merchant,
and will.pile in the drygoods till you

Tebkell Co., Ua.,
September 11th, 18S2. <
Scuter Republican: This bright and
beautiful Monday morning we are in a
measure isolated from the ontside world,
from the effects of the terrible storm of
last Saturday night. Up to this time
bat one train has passed np and the
telegraph wires are all down. A heavy
wind commenced blowing here at an
early hour last Saturday night, in
creasing in violence until it reached a
perfect gale, subsiding at an early hoar
Sunday morning. A fanner near this
place estimates the damage io his cot
ton crop at one thousand dollars, on<
fifth, and from a close cslculstion, it is
supposed that this county will lose on<
hundred thousand dollars on the cotton
the field. The cotton has been
blown and washed away, beaten into
thegronndand stained without remedy.
As far as heard from all-the bridges of
the oounty are washed away, and travel
to any extent to town is an impossibili
ty. Our citizens as well as oar farm
ing friends are much depressed in re
gard to the situation, for without any
exaggeration the damage has been a
great ono to onr people. On Sunday
morning this pretty little town present
ed a sad sight, its thoroughfares cover
ed with fallen trees, the growth of
which added so much to the beauty of
the place; chimneys down, fences down,
and other marks of violence was seer
on every side. The peculiarity of the
storm was noticed in that the wind at
first blew from the northeast, then .
versed itself and blew from the south
west, in its violence rotating houses
if they were cradles. At an early hour
Sunday morning sea gulls in numbers
were flying over tho streets, and espe
cially on the outskirts of the town they
;re seen in large qnantities.
Hardly a family slept ou Saturday
night for the howling of the wind, and
the rain (all was terrific, and into many
houses that were thought water proof
the rain poured in torrents. Such a
storm as has been recently witnessed
here was never known to have occurred
before in the memory of the oldest citi
zen. But with this storm’s destruction
much good may follow iu tbs destruc
tion of the seeds of malaria that may
have existed here, besides cleansing the
town’* water courses, conveying away
the filth that may have accumulated
and giving us now a sanitary condition
that a year’ j work could not have done.
Truly, “it is an ill wind that blows no
body good,” an old adage that conveys
a great deal of sens* in it. So we will
not despond but think it is all for the
best.
Trade is building itself up lively,
and more cotton up to this time has been
received here thsn has been received ii
Columbus up to date. Work on th
artesian well is about to commence,
probably next week will i-ee the matter
nnder way. That's progress;
three cheers for Dawson. The health
of the place is the best, and it* people
are kindly and hospitable, and among
many of them one will find a custom
that is worthy of emulation.
The South Georgia Male and Female
College, located in this place, opened
on the first week with one hundred and

will become in time a great light

Last Friday, tho 8th Inst., about
noon, tho heavens ltecaine draped
with dark flying clouds from the
northeast, and the ruin began to fell
in n thick mist, which continued to
increase in volume during Friday af
ternoon nnd all day Saturday. As
night began to darken into almost
total darkness, the winds began to rise
with blast alter blast, us the rain pour
ed in torrents. About midnight the
wind had reached the stiffness of
storm. The roaring was almost con
tinual and deafening for four^long
hours, until four o’clock Sunday morn
ing, when the wind began to gradual
ly calm off, and the rain ceased by
day light.
the results.
J. II. Stevens’ mill dam was broken
in two places and the mill house was
underminded. On H. H. Singletary’s
plantation a negro about seventy-five
years old, who was alone in his house,
was awakened by a pine tree, two or
three feet in diameter, crushing his
house to the ground and falling across
both of his feet, not breaking the bones
but badly bruising them and holding
him on his back in the rain until the
other hands were attracted by his
cries next morning. Another tenent
house that was vacated by J. H. Jones
and family only a few days previous,
was crushed by a very large tree; and
still another building that was nearly
completed, received the weight of a
large oak that scattered timbers in
every direction.
On Z. T. Baisden’s plantation
good tenement house that was occu
pied by Mr. Bradberry Teel, was torn
to pieces by the wind, breaking every
piece of furniture, ijnd badly bruising
e of Teel’s feet. His wife aud five
six children were taken from the
debris unhurt, and some hod not
awoke from their slumbers.
T. J. Baisden’s gin dam was entirely
washed away and the race below was
filled with sand. The bridge built at
cost of $150.00, by the county, that
was at Baisden’s gin, was washed
away. H. H. Holloway’s mill and
gin dam was washed away.
One chimney on Dr. Scarborough’,
place was washed down; two on Capt.
Burton’s place and one on H. 8. Davis*
place. The shelter blew from over
twenty or twenty-five thousand
burned brick, in a kiln belonging to
C. R. McCrory, which were ruined,
and a tree blew across his wagon and
smashed it.
T. J. Dozier, Amos Wiggins, Henry
Daniel, —. —. Usry, 8. Montgomery,
and Chappel Murray, all lost their
mill dams.
Souter’s mill and gin dam was
broken, and the house washed away,
including several bales of seed cotton,
and some that had been packed.
A large shade tree that grew in John
Williams’ yard blew down on part of
his residence, crushing it, knocked
down two chimneys and the third and
last was washed down.
Fencing in bottoms are washed
away, and much on high land was
blown dqwn or knocked down by foil
ing trees. The roads are filled with
logs, making travel Impassible in
some places. Cotton that was open Is
nearly all ruined, and tbe stalks are
twisted or broken, and are lying flat
on the ground. Field peas are ruined.
Corn will have to be gathered off of
the ground or it will rot. Sugarcane Is
almost pulled up or broken off, and
lies a tangled mass upon the ground.
