SWEFTIN TO THE 8TKEAM. 3»»r«.” On the deck of a big Mississippi steam boat stood an aged Southern planter. ludicatlnH by a tweepof bis arm the wa ters the boat was parsing over, he said to a passenger from the North: When I was twelve years old I killed my first bear on a new plantation my father was then cutting out ol a forest that grew di rectly over the waters of this bend. That was a mighty good plantation, and there was right smart of bears there, too. But that one thousand acres of land went Into the Misalaslppi years ago. It is potting no strain upon the figure to say that great forests of youthful hope, womanly beauty and manly strength, are swept In the same wav every year in to the great, turbid torrent of disease and death. Yet it should not be so. That is so is a disgrace as well ns a loss. People are largely too careless or too stupid to defend their own interests— the moot precious of which is health. That gone all is gone. Di-ense is sim ple, but to reckless or ignorance th» sim plest things might as as a proposition in Conic Sections. As the huge Western rivers, which so often flood the cities along their shores, arise in a few mountain spring*, so all our_ ali ments can tie traced to impure blood aod a small group of disordered organs.

I beheld the grandest sight I ever witnessed in my life. Tne roaring of the cyclone was something hke a coal-burning en- S ne, only more terrible. One of e three clouds came over Lula, but was up in the air and did no damage. It was travelling like a race horse. After it passed the sun shown on it, and the' sight was grand.

He was going from Gadsden to Green wood when the storm overtook him near Goshen valley. The shaped of the cloud resembled huge pyramid, and making the noise of a thousand coal burners. He was in a buggy 170 yards dis tant, but the force of the wind turn ed around the rear portion of the vehicle. He saw cedar trees twist ed and torn up by the roots, rocks blown out of a stream, the pine trees stripped of its bark, etc. Af ter passing him it struck Goshen valley, carrying death and destruc tion in its wake. Every house was blown away, even to the sills, and worst of all, killing fourteen per sons. A gentleman in one place who had a good view of the storm, told him he distinctly saw balls of fire, as large as a barrel, within the vortex. Mr. Whiteley advises eve rybody to prepare a pit near their houses for safety during such storms, and cites as illustration that two men in the Alabama storm saved their lives by jumping into a ditch. ,Y BANNER-WATCHMAN,,TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1884.

He aid not recover any of the articles, as the circus had gone before he missed them.

As soon as Athens gets her western connection she will certainly extend a helping hand to this enterprise. Fighting in the Air. There was a little scrummage yesterday, with some of the men working on top of the water tower, a height of 70 feet from the earth. This is a bad place to have fight, for even if you whipped there is big chances that a fall would put you in shape for the un dertaker. After a hard tussle the contestants were separated withont serious damage to life or limb. They stood on a narrow plank, and a mis step would have landed both into eternity. The Mad Slont. Mr. Sorrels, who was bitten by a mad dog in Oglethorpe, spent Wed nesday night in Athens and kept Major Pruitt’s madstone bound to his hand, which had been fearfully lacerated by the animal’s teeth. The stone refused to adhere to the wound, although Mr. S. says he felt a pain in his hand while it was ap plied. This same stone was at tached to the wound made by a rat tlesnake, an$l the victim says its ap plication caused- him the most in tense pain, but no evil resulted from the poison. Our opinion is that a madstone is about on a par with Lula Hurst and Sergeant Bates. A Sad Bereavement, Only a few days ago did Dr. and Mrs. J. E. Pope lay a bright little boy to sleep in Oconee cemetery, who fell a victim to that dread monster, diphtheria. On 8 o’clock Wednesday night their little daugh ter, Clara, aged about nine years, breathed her last, having died of the same disease. Our heart goes out in the deepest sympathy to the be reaved and sorrow-stricken patents, in their troubles.' It is indeed a sore trial to see our beloved children torn from our sight by the dread visitor; but there is consolation in the thought that they have been re moved in their innocence from a world of care and sin, and now sweetly sleep in the arms of that blessed Saviour who said, "Suffer little children io come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” It is selfish to wish them back. A N«w Ureter IfessT A farmer from an adjacent county came into Athena hist Saturday, with his little son in a wagon, and invested in a load of gnano and a quart of mean liquor. Before reach ing home he stopped on the road side and stripping his son naked, used a part of the liquor to rub the child down and then drank the re mainder. The u whisky stung the little fellow ao badly that he set np a howl that attracted a neighbor who was passing. The father ex plained that bti was nearly frozen, and not wishing to learn his son drink, had nsed the spirits ex ten ly on the boy and internally on him self. ’ The child suffered greatly be- Mr. A.

This is a well de served premium as Mr. Dorsey is one of our best farmers. Oglethorpe Fines Troubles. The fence meeting in Lexington last Saturday was a failure. It is generally conceded that the procla mation of Judge Gilham will be come law the first of April next, and friend and foe have about concluded to accept the situation. So most of our farming friends have gone to work and built pastures, Now should Judge Pottle grant the in junction for which Mr. Howard will pray in a few days, and the su preme court not overrule him, our farmers will be left in rather an un pleasant dilemma, as they will have used all their spare rails and time in making pasture fence, and will have neither rails nor time to mend the fences around their crops.

This SESijHgjQg R«wwnuwSt ^Ad$£ EegUl " prloe * 1 - 0 0l* r The Hocsewitb, Rochester, fr-T The echoes of Tuesday night’s storm disclose something mote de vastating and terrific than was at first supposed. In this section of the state and in neighboring places in Carolina, the loss of property and of life has been considerable. A large number of fatalities are re ported, showing the violence and extent of the storm. Besides our special dispatches this morning the following information has come to us upon the different trains coming into the city: • At Chappell’s, on the Greenville and Columbia railway, not a house was left by the storm; everything has been torn up, and a freight car was lifted from the track and hurled into a field. The cyclone struck Bradley’s, on the Augusta and Knoxville railroad, shortly after the down train left that station, and in a short time the town had been pretty well leveled. The new church fell before the blast; the large carriage shop blew down, and Dr. Ligon’s house was' destroyed. The Doctor himself was in Charles ton. beyond the reach even of tele graph, and his wife, who was in the house, was badly hurt. Her limb was broken; collar bone doubly fractured, besides other severe inju ries. Bradley’s was one of the thriv ing villages on this line of road, and this disaster is a most serious one. At Jackson’s Station, on the Port Royal and Augusta Railway, the worst work was done. Five people were caught in the driving debris and crushed to death. The patties were colored, as follows: William, Luke and Celia Walter; the wife of Wm. Ramsey and Geor- giana Coleman. Two white men, Ben Williams and James Key, were badly hurt. The houee of Mr. Alex Williams was blown down and the house and five cabins of Jesse Fore man we re scattered in splinters be fore the gale. The dwelling and outhouses of Mr. Glover Turner were smashed in. The store and dwelling of Mr. J. C. Hankinson at the station were demolished, his family escaping, fortunately without injury. The depot was badly torn up by the wind. The store of Mr. Jack Boyd was blown off its pillars. The cyclone seems to have struck this point about 8 o'clock. At McBean, on the Central Rail road, the water tank and saw mill, with the engine and boiler, were blown across the track; four or five trackmen’s huts were demolished and the house of a section mast.tr was moved off by shere force of the wind, and set down again without being torn up. Fortunately none of the family were hurt. Five houses below Branchville on the South Carolina railroad were blown down. At Ninety Six a house was blown down and the family of Mr. es caped. His eldest son was caught in the debris, ho wever, and this tak ing fire, he perished. At Chester the violence of the cy clone lilted two narrow cars loaded with cotton from the track and hurl ed them with great force upon the platform. No serious damage was done to the road bed of the Georgia Rial- road. On the Augusta and Knoxville Railroad the passengers on the down train were treated with a sight of the cyclone all of its power. The train barely got out of the path of the wind when the storm struck the track just behind them. The scene as described by the passengers was awful. T/ees, limbs and planks were hurled along with terrible vo- locity and huge trees were uprooted and tossed about like straws. Hous es were as ant hills before the storm king and negro cabins were picked up or crushed and torn asunder. The residence of Mr. W. H. Stall- worth near Phoenix Post Office, in Edgefield county, was destroyed in the storm. The falling timber caught the twelve-year-old daugh ter of Mr. Stallworth and taking fire burned her to death. This will be sad news to Mr. Stallworth who was in Charleston at the time. Macon, February 20.—This city was visited yesterday afternoon and last night, by a .tremendous storm. The character of the disturbance in dicated cyclones in the (neighboring sections. The city this morning is full of rumors of death and destruc tion in the surrounding counties. A special correspondent of the Tele graph at Atlanta reports fifty killed north of that city. A special dis patch from Columbus reports the destruction of the Central Railroad round house and engines, entailing a loss of $15,000. Several persons were killed and wounded. The storm was terrible in the section around Macon. The Telegraph re ceived a box of hail stones from In dian Springs, some being three in ches long and i£ inches thick and others weighing 2\ ounces. Many houses at that place were unroofed and many persons were wounded, but no death has been reported. The house of W. A. Millar, at Blount- ville, Jones county, 20 miles from Macon, was blown to atoms. His wife and three children were killed, and his baby was blown away and has not been found. The bodies of the dead*were found at two hundred to eight hundred yards distant from the site of the house. Six negroes were killed on the same plantation and a young man was dangerously wounded. The wife of Dr. Bullard heard the cyclone coming, and re membering that the corner |of the house nearest the storm was the saf est, she crouched there with her babies and two little negroes. The house was swept away, except a few timbers behind which the party crouched for safety. The store of Jerry Smith, a few miles from Clin ton, Jones county, was blown away. A person named Finney, who was in it, was fatally injured. The Cen tral train from Davisboro this morn- g brought a wounded man here, who reported the town was swept away and that many were wounded, but no deaths are reported. The wires are down in many places and it ia difficult to obtain news of the storm. The storm came west by east, following generally the old cyclone thick, differing from others by breaking np into several inde pendent storm centres. Greenwood, S. C., Feb. 20.— Yesterday afternoon a terrible wa ter spout, accompanied with hail, passed over Greenwood, lasting about twenty minutes. Some of the hail stones were unusually large. One measured three inches in cir cumference. Owing to the fact that they fell perpendicular, little damage wm done tooth houses or crops. The storm began at 5 o’clock at Bradley’s.

His wife and the other daughter‘are in a critical condition, The two sons escaped; Several negroe cabins were wreck ed, and especially those 1 upon'the place of J. L, Burnett. Several negroes were wounded between Phcenix and Chappell’s. The storm wrecked the house of Mr. Bucktud- ter, killing his mother-in-law, Mrs. Power, and seriously injuring his wife and himself. At Chappell’s every house immediately around the depot was literally demolished. One man was killed. Wm. Boze man, the postmaster had his arm and leg broken. Seven cars were blown from the track one of which was carried thirty yards. One car' was loaded with thirty-one barrels of molasses. Mrs. Simpkins’ arm was broken. Mr. Reid, a merchant, scstained a loss of $S,ooo. Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 20.—Re ports reach here of a destructive cyclone passing from the southwest to the northeast along the western edge of the state by Rome, Cave Springs, Cartersville and Jasper. At Canton several school children were killed by a falling house. There have been several deaths at Cave Springs. Many persons were injured, and much property was de stroyed wherever the cyclone touched. Raleigh, .N. C., Feb. 20.—Last night a cyclone struck the Carolina railroad, between Hamlet and Polk- ton. ■ At Rockingham there was great destruction of property and fifteen lives were lost One entire family was killed. The telegraph wires are down and no reports have been-received from other towns. Wilmington, N. C., Feb. 2o.— A special to the Star from Rock ingham says that a terribie cyclone passed near that place last night It is estimated that from fifteen to twenty persons were killed. All business there has been suspended. New Orleans, Feb. 20.—A spe cial ,rom Columbus, Miss., says: “A severe tornado passed through the lower portion of this county yester day, doing great damage to houses and dwellings.

A special to the Daily Age from Leeds, twelve miles from here, on the Georgia Pa cific railroad, gives the following account of the storm in that region: The cyclone struck Leeds about 30 p. m. and swept away the sec tion house of the railroad, killing three negroes and seriously injuring an aged white couple named Bass living near. Three miles south of Leeds the house of John Poole was blown away and a son of 17, a daugh ter of 6 and a negro child were in stantly killed. Poole, his wife and four other children were all badly injured. The residence of Dr. Vv. F. Wright, a railroad contractor, was demolished. The body of Mrs. CYCLOKE ECHOES. Wist th> atom Did to Uu Cobb try Arc tod The hail was vety heavy in Santa Fee district, in Jackson county. The destruction to timber and fences above Jefferson from the cy clone is very great. Houses were utoroofed and fences blown down in the lower part of Banks county. There was an Infidel in Watkins' vflle that did some lively praying whUe the wind wasblowing. The cyclone blew down quite number of houses before it struck the Nash house, on the North-East' ern. This was one of the strongest built houses iri'Georgia. The circus at Harmony Grove was a little demoralized. They could not stand the hail stones. Along the line of the Jug Tavern railroad we hear a great deal of damage was done. - The wind must have lost its force after striking Hix, in Madison county, as we can trace it no far : ther Mr. Jim Wade, of Banks county, positively asserts that some of the hailstones which fell would weigh half a pound and were as big as his fist. Parties living near Five Forks, in Madison county, and in the upper edge of Oglethorpe, say they had a windstorm that almost ^deposited. I learn that it is propos From the upper part of Ban] we hear from parties who state they were in the bottoms of the old Gen. Wofford place, in Banks coun ty, that they first saw it about 3+ o’clock. The cloud looked like a big smoke that was whirling around, and would dive down and strike the earth and rise and whirl over and over.

Have 1 not told yon how dearly I love you 7 No power on earth could force me to break my plight ed troth to you. Have you no confidence in me?” “All confidence, Mary; I know [you will be true to me.” “Then what is it you fear?” “Everything. You are yonng and beautiful, the rich Mr. Meredith’s only child, while I am a poor clerk in the house of Meredith Brothers, with noth ing bnt an nnsnllied reputation, some brains and a good right hand to help me through this world.” "So much the better, then, that I am the daughter of the rich Mr. Meredith. Dear Felix, papa esteems yon, and haE implicit confidence in your honor. He invites yon here, and allows our acquain tance. Why do you annoy yourself about imaginary troubles ?” 1‘Your lather trusts me and I must be true to him, you and myself. I will go to him and frankly confess our attach ment. I should feel miserable other wise.” . « "Go now; he is In bis study.” Felix caught the girl in his arms and kissed her rosy lips. "Your confidence inspires me with hope,” he said, and went away on his mission. Tapping at Mr. Meredith’s study door, ana receiving permission to enter, Felix approached the old gentle man, who gave him his hand, saying: “Why, boy, you are an unexpected visitor. lYo bad news I hope?” “No, sir; but I want to ask of you a gift so precious that I have very little hepe of obtaining it.” “Well, well, name it. I am always glad to favor you if I can.” “Mr. Meredith, I love your daughter. I do not, however, ask you to give her to me now. Only let me hope that when I prove to you ” Mr. Meredith leaned back in his chair amazed. It had never occurred to him that the young clerk would dare to lift his eyes to his daughter. “You are an ungrateful, treacherous scoundrel 1” he cried. “Out of compas sion for your friendlessness I admitted you to my house anff my daughter's so- city, and you, villain that you are, have taken the opportunity to steal into her confidence and win her inexperienced heart. Begone, sir, and never let me see your lace again!” “Listen to me one moment,Mr. Mere dith.” “Not oue second 1” cried the old man, as he violently brought down b is clench ed fist upon the table. "Leave the house instantly or the servants shall thrust you out.” And as if to put bis threat into,, execution he fiercely rang the bell. , Aa Felix staggered along the passage, his heart oppressed with contending emotions that he was scarcely conscious of anything, he met Mary, who, alarmed at the violent ringing of the hell; was rushing to her tether’s study. Felix wildly threw his arms about her, kissing her again and again. Then he tore him self away aud rushed from the house. - Mary never knew what ^occurred at that (enrihle Interview. Mr. Meredith was deaf to dll her entreaties and the lover had disappeared. The poorkirt was stricken with brain fever, andnfdr weeks her life hung in the balance. Be- pentance came too late to the unhappy father, for although sought for-farand near, Felix cor’d not be found. At length yoath and a good constitution brought back health to the heart-broken g rl. Bat alas! the blooming yonpg ebe of seventeen summers was no more. In her place, a tall, pale girl ap peared, but with a beauty that even the most fastidious admired. The golden brown curls that clustered around her temples lay in rippling waves upon a brow as pure as snow, and the soft, Ins-’ truus hazel eyes wore an expression oi sadness that told of the heart grief that would be hers forever. Mr. Meredith traveled withhis daugh ter through alLthe most attractive parts of Europe for a year. Then, at her re quest, he took her home. Mart had be come a woman, a bright, intelligent glo rious woman, aud crowds of admirers worshipped at her feet; but the image of Felix was still as fresh as ever in her heart, and the vows she had exchanged with him were never tor a moment: for gotten. Therefore, all otters of marriage were at once declined. Time rolled on. Mary had now reach ed her twenty-eighth year, and still re mained R maiden beneath her paternal roof. One cold winter evening Mary sat by the glowing fire in her father’s drawing room. Her small white hands weie clasped upon her bosom, and her eyes were cast downward until the Jong lash es lay like golden pencillngs upon her oheek. Near her, in his great arm chair sat Mr. Meredith, with the snows of ma ny winters on. hit head and his face deeply furrowed by the hand of time. There was an expression oi care upon his countenance. He looked troubled and unhappy. -..1 ■ “Mary," said he, continuing a con versation that had. been going on be tween them, “all my life 1 have made your happiness mv constant study and have given you a luxurious home.- Now you are advancing in years and I shall ere long be Separated from you by death. How can I leave you In this cold world ? A home is now open to you aud you must accept it.
