We’ll soon see about that extra

from March 1st this year.

Washington two or three weeks.

The something better than the.
sub-treasury scheme will soon be
in sight.
There will be a ; democratic rna
jority of-80 in the next House of

All Georgians will be glad to
know; that Senator Colquitt has so
far recovered his health as to be
able to attend to his duties at
Washington.
The weather recovered its geni
ality as soon as the democratic
household as Washington was con
firmed, and democratic control be
came an active fact.
President Cleveland sent the
names of his chosen cabinet offi
cers to the senate Monday morn
ing, and the nominations were
’ promptly confirmed.
Secretary of State Gresham
ha3 appointed Hon. Josiah Quincy,
of Massachusetts, assistant ■ Secre
tary. Mr. Quincy was a member
of the national democratic cam
paign committee.
The Macon .Telegraph was sold
on the 1st inst to- Messrs Carling,
Price and Seifert, who have form
ed a stock company. Mr. Price,
recently connected with the New
York Herald, will mauage the pa
per, and it is declared that the
Telegraph will be made strictly a
first-class paper in every particu
lar. Improvement is already no
ticeable. May fortune have only
smiles for the Telegarph hereafter.

Speaker Crisp was handsomely
complimented by a unanimous
vote just before the House of Bep-
resentatives adjourned last Satur
day. Ex-Speaker Reed introduced
the resolution, though the demo
crats refused to vote for a resol u-
tiou thus complimenting Beed two
years ago. It is now believed that
Mr. Crisp will be elected speaker
of the next house without opposi
tion. He deserves such an honor,
as his record is above adverse
criticism. "
* _ S ,
The rpll of the senate shows 44
democrats, 38 republicans, 1 popri
list, 1 independent, 1 farmers’ alii
ance, and 3 vacancies. The va
cancies are from Montana, Wash
ington and Wyoming. A demo
crat has been appointed for Wyo
miug, and a republican for Mon
tana: Martin, of Kansas, was
sworn in, but his right to the seat
may be contested later. However,
it is absolutely certain that the
senate is, and will continue to be,
under democratic control.
March weather asserted its
power throughout the country last
Friday night, and in Mississippi,
Alabama and Georgia much dam
age was done. A tervific cyclone
swept over portions of these states,
and several towns were nearly de
molished. In Georgia, Greenville
was almost entirely destroyed,
while Barriesville, Forsyth, Pied
mont, Molena, Woodbury, Hogans-
ville, Elko, and other towns were
severely damaged. Several per
sons were killed at Barnesville,
and Woodbury, and much farm
property along the line of the
cyclone received severe damage.
President Cleveland’s inaa-
gural address was characteristic of
tbe man, positive and sensible.
He declared that the tariff must
be re-arranged according to the
just demands or'the people; that
the money system must be fixed
so as to furnish a'sound and stable
currency; that -paternalism in af
fairs of the government most be
avoided, and economy in national
affairs practiced-continually. He
emphatically commended the civil
service law's, and strongly asserted
that his appointments to office will
be for the publicgood, and not as
"rewards for political service. He
will make a good president, but as
a party man be will probably be
Kl«^rprely criticised.
The people and town, of Elko
were terribly shaken up last Fri-
bay night at about 7 o’clock by a
terrific cyclone that came upon
them from the southwest. The
damage was extensive, and the ter
ror created was indescribable. Ev
ery house in the southern anckeust-
eru portion of the town was con
siderably damaged, and it is said
not one in the town entirely es
caped. Twenty houses were badly
damaged, leu of them completely
ruined. Of these five w'ere occn
pied as residences, two by negroes
and tbree by white people. Iuthe
tsvo houses occupied by negroes
there were fifteen people. Though
nearly all were more or less hurt,
only one was seriously injured. An
arm and a thigh of a small boy
were broken, and it is believed he
will die.
The dwellings occupied by white
people belonged respectively to
Mr. M. S. Means, Prof. T. M.
Means and Mrs. S. E. Means
Neither was completely demolish
ed, but all seriously damaged.
These houses contained at the time
fifteen people, but fortunately none
were hurt. The main portion of
Mr. M. S. Means’ house was sepa
rated from the dining room and
kitchen, raised up from one side
sufficiently to break the chimney,
and then left in an awkwardly
awry condition.
The elegant home of Prof. T. 2E.
Means was lifted bodily from its
foundation, and tilted over so as to
render it uninhabitable.
' Tim dwelling of Mrs. S. E.
Means was severely damaged, and
every cabin and outhouse ou the
the farm almost completely de
stroyed.
The storehouse of Messrs. Means
& Mann, it being.also the postof
fice, was. partially unroofed,—the
front blown off entirely, —leaving
the stock of goods exposed to the
storm.
The. damage will amount to sev-
eral thousand dollars, though no
careful estimate had been made
when this information was given
us last Monday.
The people were terribly fright
ened, and the damaged 1 dwellings
were vacated hurriedly. Prof.
Means had just completed the re
pairs on his residence made neces
sary by the damage it received
from a stroke"of lightning last fall.
Fencing, telegraph poles and
-trees were blown down in every di
rection, and the scene presented
next morning was dishearteuing in
the extreme.
Several cabins on the farm of
Mr. Green Fitzgerald, about four
miles west of Elko, were badly
damaged.
The people, of Elko have the
sympathy of their friends through
out the county, who are at the
same time thankful that the dam
age was not greater, and that no
one was killed. These people are
as energetic as they are big-hearted
and clever, and the damage done
by the cyclone will soon be re
paired.
Anpther incident of the cyclone
was the near approach to death in
the creek near Elko of an old ne
gro man. He ventured to cross
the swollen stream in an ox-cart,
but there was too. much water, and
he would have been drowned, bnt
for the timely arrival of Dr. Jeff.
Coleman, of Henderson.

“I have often seen, statements from people
benefited by Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and I feel
that I am not doing justice unless my tes
timony is added. I have been suffering with
sick vomiting spells for three or four years,
with giddiness, most of tbe time almost per
fectly prostrated. I had no appetite, and suf
fered also with neuralgia in my head and eyes.
I was treated for two years by the best physi
cians, hut found no relief. They would tell me
my condition was
Owing to my Age
and that I must have patience. But after two
years I though: patience ceased to be a virtue.
I was growing so weak I could not sleep at
night And wuen I was able to go out, I was
afraid to go fcr from home. I was con
stantly tired; I could not go np or down stairs
or-raise anus shove my head without gid
diness, and was so afraid to look up that I be
came accustomed to holding my head down.
« At Last
I was persuaded to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla,
and after using four bottles, my improvement
inhealth is wonderful. I candidly believe I
am cured of nil my ailments. My appetite
is good, can eat at any time, am free frAm neu
