Several Injured and Property De ■troyed. The worst storm in years visited Rockmart Monday afternoon, in juring several people, destroying a great deal of property and des troying crops. It came up about 1:30 o’clock with a terrible roar and lasted only a few minutes. The path of the cyclone was a quarter of a mile wide and houses and fences were swept away and trees were cut down as wheat be fore a scythe. Giant oaks and pines that had withstood the storm of years were uprooted, twisted and torn. Limbs were blown high in the air, a great many lodgin the telephone and telegraph wires. Those injured in the storm are: Charlie Stevens, hurt internally, will probably die. Georgia Ross, serverely bruised and cut. John Ross, cut on head. The above are all negroes. A portion of the plant of the Rockmart Stove and foundry com pany was destroyed, loss about #1,000. A negro church and school house completely demolished, loss about #1,500. Several negro dwellings were also destoyed. A peculiar feature of the storm was that of an empty box car on the Seaboard Air Line railway 1 being blown a half mile down the track. It was down grade and the car never left the track. The cyclone was followed by terrific hail storm which did con siderable damage to crops. in I Shows by Figures That a Trip to the World’s Fair is not Expensive.

Mr. John Post, of the Atlanta Fire writes: “ For months I suffered with my kid neys. I made every effort to g%t relief, but failed until I accidentally came in possession of a bottle of Blaok Weed. The relief obtained from its use was so peat before half the Bret bottle had been used, that I put aside all othar medicines and am now sound and well, having bean oared completely by Blaok Weed. At the same time I had an ag gravated case of Catarrh of the head and throat. Blaok Weed has completely oared this, and my head is now as dear as a bell.” There is never anything lost in a legitimate expenditure on public enterprises, while on the other hand a people who fail to meet the demands of progress will always be losers.
