llu) icraltl and ^.dccirtir^r. Newnan, Ga., Friday, April 13, 1888. BELATED CORRESPONDENCE. Easter at Mt. Pilgrim. Mr. Editor:—Last Friday, Saturday and Sunday were observed here by the Lutheran brethren as Good Friday, delicate varieties of fish, trout being caught that have weighed twenty pounds, whilst deer, wild turkeys and birds, whose gorgeous plumage find ready sale, can be found along their banks. Some of these lakes have bluffs, storm, or particularly sultry and op pressive. The temperature following the passage of the tornado cloud is al ways ‘‘chilly.” * The prevailing direc tion of destructive winds is from south west or northwest. The motion of the R. D.

Dr. Tigner handled his sub jects well. A well-stored fund of in formation on Biblical truths was de veloped in the speaker. On Sunday, his argument was grand—sublimity it self—unanswerable by heretics. The lovely grove around Mt. Pilgrim church was packed with vehicles. The house would not begin to hold the people.

Prof. W. L. Cousins, who is teaching a laige school at Harrisonville, Heard county, was at Mt. Pilgrim mingling with old friends. Messrs. S. Elder, Robert B. Perkins, C. Russell and Willie Harris, accom panied by a bevy of as lovely young ladies as Coweta can boast, were at the Sunday services. The first Saturday in May has for a long time been set apart for a reunion of the Sunday-schools of this neighbor hood, known as t-lie Sunday-school pic nic, and participated in by all three of the churches. As the years grow older the crowd grows larger, and we expect this to be the crowning year of all. The programme will comprise music, speeches, lectures, dinner, etc. We hope to see the editor and family among the crowd. Prof. McCaslin, of Greenville, was the guest of Mr. Ben Hutchinson last Sunday. Last week was indeed a rainy week. Farmers are badly behind with their spring work. The early blooming peaches are near ly all killed. A few scattering ones can be seen among the late bloomers. It is with sadness that I write you of the death of Col. W. W. Hardy, which occurred last Sunday morning. A noble young man.has fallen. A noble young man has fallen. Senoia has lost one of her cleverest citizens, the bar a towei ing mind, and the church a devoted member. May lie who overrules all things comfort the bereaved ones. Miss Mollie Sibley, from near Senoia. is visiting relatives at Haralson this week. Blalock. April 2d. __ The Land of Flowers. Mr. Editor:—The recent reports of the fearful storms that have been prev alent through the North, and as far South as middle Georgia, require with us quite a test of faith in the a eracity of our friends and the papers, being in such perfect contrast with the delight ful weather we have had during the month of March. A few mornings and evenings we have closed our doors and windows a little earlier because it. was cooler, but this was attended with no discomfort, as the skies were as cleai and the sun shone as brightly as ever. After reading of the gales and ava lanches of snow, the line— “There’s a land that is fairer day.” often occurs to me as being applicable to this section, when compared the storm regions farther north. Per haps Jupiter in pouring his vials of wrath upon the earth, during lus pres ent reign of the “Ionian period,” has overlooked this Peninsula, ’ 1 ing from the past, we may hope that Dr. Hicks’ predictions may prove un true in the future. Parties from the North are constant ly coming out looking for lands to im prove and cultivate, in preparation for a winter home. When you know that the most tender vegetables, such as Irish potatoes, beans, cucumbers and tomatoes have not been injured, and that strawberries have been bearing constantly since the middle of Decem ber one cannot but be convinced of the mildness and salubrity of the Cli mate.

There is an ice factory at Bartow, so water may be made as cool as the coolest. Some of the cereals do not thrive here, but such a variety and abundance sup plies their place that it seems like in gratitude to the Maker and Giver of all things to even mention them. The people of this county claim good lands, good schools and churches, and good citizens, who extend a cordial welcome to those whose health and circum stances may have made it necessary to seek a milder climate, having faith in the growth and prosperity of their na tive State. Recently a delegation of General Passenger and Ticket Agents from sev eral States passed, on a tour of pleas ure and observation, through Florida to Charlotte Harbor (300 miles below Jacksonville,) at which place the water lias a depth of 10 feet at high tide. The Morgan line of steamers ply regularly, carrying the United States mail to Hav ana, IS hours sail from this point, touching at Key West on their route, the telegraph being connected by cable from these points. The famous scientist, Mr. Edison, lias a winter residence still farther south, at Fort Myers, on the Caloosa- hatcliie river, which is quite a resort for parties out boating, to obtain a glimpse of his handsome home, or, perhaps, of the man of genius himself, who has electrified and enlightened the world with the thought and ingenuity of his wonderful mind.

No estimate can be formed of the force of a tornado. Few wooden buildings, however con structed, will withstand the terrific whirl of the tornado cloud or the pow erful inrushing currents from the south side of the storm centre. Giant trees are either snapped off like reeds or torn up and carried many rods away, with tons of earth attached to the roots. Great lanes are cut, in a few' minutes time, through densely timbered forests, that would take scores of men with axes days and weeks to do. On the near ap proach of a tornado small objects will be seen moving swiftly into the air. Large and weighty objects will move from a former position. Posts will be drawn from the earth. Trees will bend to the ground, and large buildings will rock and totter by some mysterious, ir- resistable force before reached by the whirling wind. The tornado cloud in variably moves forward; that is, from a westerly point to an easterly one. The cloud may, and does very frequently, sway from one side to the other of its central path, and in the angle made is the greatest destruction done. Persons once caught in a tornado will rarely ever overcome the dread of a repetition of the danger. But is there no way to escape the destructive force of the storm? Yes, and some suggestions will be given which may be of service in aiding those living in the vicinity of a tornado, if it is desired. S. March 28th. U:-: w % Q M % w U1 STEAM ENGINES.

Mr. Editor:—It seems there was a general scare on the night of the 20th inst. Almost everybody expected a “cyclone.” The roar of the wind, the patter of rain, the vivid and incessant electrical discharges, was rather alarm- but Tiie Herald and Adverti ser readers will doubtless witness many such displays before they will see, or feel, or hear a real, genuine cy clone. These are huge affairs, fre quently several hundred miles across, and rarely (if ever) does one reach this latitude. It is a misnomer for the de structive little tornado that, in these late years, visits our section of country with such alarming frequency. A tor nado is bad enough without calling it a “cyclone.” If the persons so badly frightened on Tuesday night, 20th inst., had been a little more familiar with the science of meteorology they would have had no cause for alarm at the rather unusual phenomena. A merci ful Providence never sends out one of these destructive tornadoes without giving timely notice to all His creatuies living along the track. A careful ob server of the atmospheric changes can foretell the approach of a tornado from i air to twelve hours before the arrival.
