2,1100 Acres of Watermelons in Itiirkr.
From a reliable source we learn

Junction, 150; Munnerlyn, 250;
Waynesboro, 250, and Green’s Gut,
150, aggregating 2,000 acres. The
melon crop has gradually increased
for years in this county and lias at

above written, and is one of the
most important crops of the county.

Mr. II. R. Daniel, sheriff of Eman

little negro boy, Mack Jenkins, to
Swainsboro as a witness in the In
man wife-murder case which was
then progressing. We found Mr.
Daniel to be an affable, intelligent
gentleman, and every feature of
bis countenance betokened the
kind-hearted man, every lineament
of his face showed him to he a firm
officer, who never hesitates to do his
duty. We meet such gentlemen
with pleasure.
The Health of Waynesboro.
The health of the city was never
better at this season of the year.—
We do not know\of a single case of
malarial or chill and fever in town.
These diseases have given Waynes
boro the reputation abroad of being
sickly, but the steady improvement
of the health of Waynesboro prove
that drainage, and other sanitary
measures are having their full effect,
y.ud Waynesboro must soon become
as healthy as any town in the State.
When our artesian well is com
pleted, and our town supplied with
pure water, Waynesboro will forget
that chills were ever prevalent here,
and it will become as attractive for
health as it now is for its beauty
and thrift.

On last Wednesday evening week
ago, rain set in, and for the past ten
days, up to Thursday evening there
has been only one day without rain
—some of these days several heavy I
rains fell. On Thursday evening
these rains culminated in a terrible
cyclone that wrought devastation
in its track. On Thursday evening
about sunset an angry cloud, emit
ting the most vivid lightning and
terrible peals of thunder gathered
in the west-northwest, and appeared
to drift to the north, but suddenly
changing its course it swept to the
southwest, carrying destruction in
its path. We give the following
particulars, which Mr. J. M. Bull
furnishes us, and which covers a
space of about ton miles long by
about two miles wide.
Tiro-first .we. hear ,of tho storm is
at Gresham’s mill branch, where
it tore the forest literally to pieces.
About dark it struck J. M. Bull’s
place in the upper edge of tho (list
district, who fortunately was only
under the edge of the storm. Here
it blew down a large tree across his
buggy shelter, breaking his buggy
and wagon into splinters, and de
molishing the fence nearly all
around bis plantation.
At Ilandy Lewis’, col., a short
distance above Mr. Bull’s, it blew
the top off his house. There were
five persons in the house but no one
was seriously hurt.
At Mrs. Harris’, below Mr. Bull’s,
it blew two large trees down be
tween tho kitchen and tho dwelling
house, miraculously missing the
dwelling house, but crushing in the
well house and so filling tho well
that it was impossible to get a drop
of water from it. This was the ex
tent of the damage done here, ex
cept to blow down all the fences,
as was done throughout the extent
of tin' storm. About 100 yards from
her house, a negro cabin was blown
down, only one end resting upon the
pillars. Anderson Brooks, col., be
low Mrs. Harrisons’, had his cabin
blown down. A largo limb from a
dead tree standing in bis lot was
blown off, striking and penetrating
the roof of his stable in which was
his mule, which by some means
escaped unhurt.
At Cel. J. D. Munnorlyu’s place
near town, the trees and fences
wcrO blown down, and the crops
damaged.
At Mr. \V. II. Bullard’s it blew
down several negro houses, and de
molished his fence, stables and
crib, and it is said killed two of liis
mules.
On the Gresham place nearly all
the houses are down, and a portion
of the crop ruined. Another life
was lost at this place, a negro named
Dili Green had his head crushed by
a house falling on him, which caus
ed his instant death.
At the‘Bet Jones place all the
fences are down and the crops ruin
ed.
Dr. J. J. Palmer’s place also lay
in the track of this destructive
cyclone, damaging to no little ex
tent his corn and cotton crop, blow
ing off well tops, his stables, corn
cribs, and several tenant and out
houses, and also totally ruining his
fences.
Dr. Steiner’s place came In for its
share of devastation. The storm
began about seven o’clock in the
evening and continued its dreadful
work for fully an hour. The wind
lasted only fifteen minutes, but in
that brief time demolished three
houses, uprooted every tree in its
path, and levelled every piece of
fencing on the place. Every stalk
of corn was completely stripped
and boat clown, the cotton denuded,
and one of the finest crops in the
county ruined. Dr. Steiner says’it
was one of the most violent storms
he ever witnessed in his life.
The roads along the tract has
been rendered impassible by tho
fallen timber. We have given all
the facts we could gather, but have
been able to hear from only a short
section of the storm-track. More
and greater damage must
been done.

Sumlny School Festival.
Have you (liven lii'your Taxes !
Mr. J. G. Chew, our clever tax re
ceiver, was in town from early
morning till late evening on last
Wednesday, according to published
notice in Tiie Citizen, to afford all
who have failed to give in their
taxes a chance to do so. Those who
have not yet given in their taxes,
should see Mr. Chew, at Lawton
ville, without delay. Mr. Chew is a
clever, accommodating officer, but
Ids duty must be done at all hazards,
and (hose who do not comply with
tho law, and give in their taxable
property within the statutory pre
scription, must not complain if they
are double taxed, as tli? law directs
the tax collector must do his duty,
and it is their fault, not his. But a
few days remain for the reception
of tax returns, and you must he
prompt, or take the consequences.
It is rumored that several new
business houses will be opened in
Waynesboro next fall. Every week
adds something to the growth of
Waynesboro, and we hope that only
a few years, at most, will elapse be
fore her commercial importance will
become equal to her surrounding
interests. Waynesboro now great
ly needs a hanking institution, and
with its rapid growth, a bank must
soon become a pressing necessity.—
As it now is a check, especially a
small one, is more of an ornament
than a use—it being almost impos
sible to get one cashed short of Au
gusta or Savannah. We have the
capital in tin' county, and we be
lieve a hank in Waynesboro would
pay a handsome dividend upon the
invested capital. A hank is a pub
lic need now. We hope our capi
talist will take this enterprise under
serious consideration, and give to
our commercial men this great busi
ness necessity.
At Mr. Van Rodgers’, the wind
unroofed several out-houses, and
blew down, the corn and fences, but
did no very serious damage. At Mr.
Gus Sapp’s place, it blew a‘ large
tree across the dwelling house,
crushing it badly. Here the hail
was severe.
The following continuation was
given us by Mr. Wm. Gregory: At
Mrs. Davis’several out-houses and
the. stables were blown down. A
mule in the stables was so badly
crushed that it had to lie killed.
On Maj. Wilkins’ Churchill place,
a negro man, Henry Green, was sit
ting down at the fire, having just
finished cooking his supper, when
his wife who was out of the house
called to him to come out, he re
plied that, “God was doing II is work,
anil ho was hungry and doing His.”
He, however, picked up his pot and
started out of the house, as the,blow
struck it, crushing him neatli the
timbers killing him instantly. He
was allowed to remain till next
morning under the wreck.
M r. Boh Gates, who is farming on
Mr. Washington Kilpatrick’s place,
says his crop is literally beaten into
the ground by the hail. At Mr. W.
B. Everitt’s place several out-build
ings were unroofed, and from the
effects of hail there is not a leaf left
—nothing but tho bare stems. Mr.
Jim Everett urged bis mother, sis
ter and brother to run for a gully
near the house, and when they re
fused to leave the house, ran and
jumped into the well, and putting
his hands anil feet into the niches
cut for ascending and descending,
stood the storm out, hut was
terribly exhausted at its close.
Mr. Wm. Randle, who was in
town ilurinp^the evening, and who
spent some time in our office, reach
ed home just us tho blow struck,
but not having time to get in the
house, took shelter in an out-house,
(sitting on his horse) when the
house blew down, entrapping man
and horse, but injuring neither—li is
hat, however, was blown away and
has not been heard from since.
Mr. Wm. Gregory bail His crop of
both cotton and corn literally ruin
ed by the hail. The well cover was
blown down here. Peter West, a
colored tenant on Mr. Gregory’s
place, had his house unroofed, and
chimney blown away. Ills corn
crib and stables were blown down,
the stables in their fall killing His
horse. On Mr. J. W. Reynold’s
place a colored tenant bad bis stable
blown down—nothing hurt.
The hail appeared to fall iu spots,
literally beating the crops into the
ground where it struck. At Mr. S.
K. INI Ills’ two colored tenants had
their houses blown down, and his
and their crops he pronounces a
total ruin by the hail. At the Bar-
rot place, Mr, It. Y. Saxon in charge,
50 acres of cotton was so entirely
ruined tHat he plowed it up and
replanted it Friday. On Mrs. Sarah
Skinner’s piano, run By Handy
Lewis, colored, iu a new ground of
about six acres, the trees are piled
upon cuchfither until, good farmers
say, no crop can be possibly made
upon it the present year,
On Monday evening the ladles of
the Baptist Sunday School gave a
festival to the children of tho school,
exteuing a cordial and Christian
invitation to their Methodist friends
to attend—and by the kind invita
tion of Mrs. McCathern and other
ladies we were present. The rainy
nature of the weather debared J He
ladies of the open j grove, and for
this reason they occupied the lower
floor of tlie court house. About 4
o’clock p. m., tlio co|npany began to
gather, and soon the cout house
yard was filled by gay, liglit-liearted,
careless ehildron-Mails and lasses
romping under the beautiful
shade trees in all the^bxuborance
of childhood, while the matrons
looked on with a pleased expression.
When all was ready, tho company
were invited into the house, where
we found several long tables bounti
fully supplied* with delicious cakes,
ice-cream, sherbet, etc.,and after Mr.
Breedlove, Methodist pastor, had
invoked the Divine blessing, all set
themselves to the discussion of the
viands before! them. There was
enough for all and to spare. The
festivities lasted till the going
down of the sun, when all wended
their way home, satisfied with the
enjoyment of the evening.

place it in a bottle (with as much
dexterity as an old snake charmer.
—The mill stones for Gordon’s

under the supervision of Mr. Helm-

—We have received an invitation
from {lie committee to attend a rail
road meeting at Statesboro, Bulloch
county, on the 4th of July next, and
Brother Stone, of the Eagle, sends
us an earnest request to be present.
It would give us great pleasure to
be present at the citizens’ meeting
at Statesboro, at the appointed time,
but from the present outlook we
fear that the inexorable demands
of business will require our pres
ence in The Citizen office.
—There were six persons received
into the Methodist church, in tliis
place, at the regular service on last
Sabbath. The faithful and efficient
pastor, Rev. B. F. Breedlove, who
has greatly endeared himself to the
whole community, has great reason
to feel encouraged in his work.—
Whether in the pulpit, in earnest
appeal, or on the streets, or where-
ever he comes in contact with man,
he seems to have but one object in
view, namely: the highest good of
his brother man. Since there is
nothing better known to man than
Christianity, its friends can afford
to be earnest.

Advertise ill The Citizen,
Editor True Gittzen:—I have
heard that it has been suggested,
that I was possibly the author of
certain communications, that have
appeared recently in tho N. Y.
Herakl and N. Y. Times in regard
to tin* late Chinese affair, and de
famatory of the community in
which I live. I ask, therefore, the
privilege of your columns to deny
tiie infamous imputation, and to
characterize as false and malicious
tiie insinuation contained in tho
vile suggestion. How such an idea
could be tolerated even by the most
prejudiced against me, in full view
of my repeated utterances in de
fence of my own people, in the
columns of the Macon Telegraph it-
Messenger and tho Atlanta J’ost-
Appeal, bailies my comprehension.
Certainly the author of these base
less reports, in the face of the above
facts, must have been either crimi
nally ignorant of the subject, or
wilfully intended to reflect upon my
personal character. Among my
friends and all fair-minded people,
this denial would bo unescessary;
but to those who arc eager to accept
and believe the vicious rumor, I
will state for their benefit, that I
have not only never written a word
for the above papers, but have not
even read a line Iu either of them
in twelve months or more. I don’t
remember ever to have seen an
issue of the New York Times,—
Such an aspersion of personal
character, could have emanated
only from one capable of such an
net himself. I have only to say in
conclusion, that I am not in tiie
habit of writing anonymous com
munications, and that 1 am neither
ashamed nor afraid to attache my
initials to anything that I may pub
lish. When tills feeble pen, that
has ever been wielded lu the dofofleo
