FRIDAY MORNING. SEPT. 26,1873
The Bccent Tonindo.
T%c tornado of last week was very
<leatruoUve in the southern counties
of deoigta and on the Florida coast.
.. — Qq the Central Rond, 7l£ miles
from Savannah, a culvert was washed
out, and th* down freight from Ma
con ran into the wash, causing the
death of the engineer, fireman, and a
train hand.
A similar accident occurred near
Prnnchvillc, on tl*e South Carolina
Iload, by which five lives were lost.
The storm began in Quitman on
the evening of the 18th, about dark,
nnd increased in fury until the next
morning. It lulled about noon, after
doing muck damage. Two negro
churches were completely destroyed,
houses unroofed, aud trees and fences
blown down in all directions.
AJ. Bainbridge, Cairo, Boston, and
other pointy houses were leveled to
the grouud, aud cotton ruined by the
acre.
In TnllnUasaco, Fla., bouses were
unroofed, nnd a boy killed. Seven
gin-houses were blowu down iu the
vicinity.
The village of St. Marks, Fla., was
almost swept away. Twenty families
ore houseless.
Mr. Henry Moore, clerk of the
steamboat Farley, informs the Co
lumbus Sun that Apalachicola, Fla.,
suffered severely.
The Farloy encountered the storm
uhput fifty miles this side of Apalach
icola,, and suck was the foroo of the
wind that the cabin had to be lashed
to the lower deck to prevent its being
blown off. Where she was the wiud
blew the bark from cypress trees as
cleanly as if shaved by a knife, and
the run foil in torrents.
The tide at Apalachicola ran over
the wharf and flooded all the Btores
Oil Water street, greatly injuring iho
stocks.
Oyster boats and fishing smacks
were capsized, and barges aud steam
tugs blown ashore.
Several big moccasins wero killed
on the wharf, and a groat many fish
were washed on shore. Several ne
groes caught strings of fine trout.
Goe saw-mill was demolished, and
two others injured.
Four brick warehouse* were badly
damaged.
A block of seven or eight brick
store* w*a fairly demolished.
Twenty dwelling* are reported to
be blown down.
1 All the orange trees and fences in
the place are down, And the streets
are full of oranges.
: lbs lose is estimated at (150,000
to (500,000.
The damage done by iltis storm
' wherever it was felt, will foot up a
large sum. The loss in cotton alone
Wilj be a serious one.

complimentary notice of the Colum
bus papers, and we endorse every
word of it:
We Jtave long been wanting to say
something about our Columbus oo
temporaries, mid we cannot defer it
farther. There is no city of the same
site in the United States, we honestly
believe, that can boast two dailies of
equal ability, beauty of arrangement,
amount of Beading matter, enterprise
and spirit. The Constitution iaproud
f such Georgia exchanges, and our
sentiments will doubtless bo warmly
approved by the entire State press.
Columbus can well boast of her news

Whitfield county for the past four
years. Ife left suddenly the other
day with $1,500 belonging to some
credulous people, and $75 belonging

The La Grange Reporter tells of a
hen that recently laid three eggs.
The first one was without any shell,
but otherwise appeared all right.
The other two appear to be perfect,
but consist of only die shell without
any cOutente. Another strange thing
about these shells is that they will
not remain still except when stand
ing on the little end. If they are
placed on their sides or on the large
end, they immediately whirl over on
the little end, and there they rest,
They are of the usual size, and weigh
each about 4 drains.
The West Point News winds up a

But right below this is another ar

Matters in General.
The British Post-office Department
refuses to enter into any arrangement
for the exchange of postal cards with
the United States They argue that
“the use of cards is not popftGr
among the English people; that even
the lower classes are oot induced to
use them, although they are the cheap
est, being jealous of any device by
which tiieir correspondence is open
to public inspection. The British
Post-office, therefore, prefers that the
present rates of ocean postage should
be maintained, and if postal cards
are transmitted, they should be
charged the usual letter postage rates.”
In a recent suit for injuries re
ceived in consequence of a railroad

the jury awarded four thousand dol
lars’ damages; oh the Socobd, over
five thousand dollars, and onfAe third
nearly seven thousand dollars. The
case went to the Supreme Court on
exceptions, but they were overruled,
and therefore the plaintiff will receive
the last-named sum.

The Wheeler & Wilson stands a Tone as
the only Light Running Machine usiko the
Rotary Hook, making a Lock Stitch alike on
both sides of the fabric sewed, Ail shuttle
machines waste power in drawing the shuttle
hack after the stitch is formed, bringing dou
ble wear and strain upon bofh machine and
operator; hence, while other machines rap
idly wear out, the Wheeler & Wilson Lasts
a Lifetime, and proves an economical invest
ment. Do not believe all that is promised
by so-called ‘cheap' machines: you should
require proof that years of use hate tested
their value. Money once thrown away can
not be recovered.

easy terms, or monthly payments taken. Old
machines put in order or received in exchange.
