0 reca9ter Marbury, of the At-
ta weather bureau, gives the
lowing differences between cy-
oes al id tornadoes, which will
of interest to our readers at
sent:
he press as well as the general
blic fail to grasp the distinc-
n between a tornado and a cy-
ne, but use the terms synony
my, The cyclone is a bori-
tally revolving mass of air,
ermg an area of sometimes as
cb as a thousand miles in di
eter, while a tornado is a re
view mass of air not more than
feet in diameter, and is an in-
entof the cyclone, generally
urring in the southeast quad-
t. The cyclone may cause on-
moderate winds through an im
age area of country, while the
rnado, with its rotary motion
at is almost incalculable, al-
ys leaves a trail of death and
struction in an area that is in-
itesimally small when corn-
red with the area covered by a
clone.
In fact a thunder storm is the
arest relation of the tornado
d a thunder storm may be said
be a tornado in miniature—and
fc always in miniature either,
r thunder storms are often as
structive to life and property as
nadoes.
The most that the weather' bu
ll cau predict in regard to ap-
&ran ce of tornadoes is this,
ben it is known that a low bar-
eter exists as a storm center in
ertain portion ot the country it
essarilv follows that certain
mospheric changes and condi-
ns will follow in the adjoining
Iri cts of the country as a natu
result.
be tornado is by far the most
j ent of all storms and is formed
der very similar conditions as
os ® which generate thunder

message flashed over the wires to
the editor can be put in type.
Cyclone is simply a name given
to all areas in which the pressure
is lowest and the term should car
ry no fear to the minds of intel
ligent people. The name simply
implies that the winds have a cir
cular motion about the center of
the low and are most frequently
light or fresh.
Heavy Hail Storm.
Sections of Forsyth, Dawson,
Hall, and Lumpkin counties were
visited by the heaviest hail storm
on Monday afternoon of last week
that has ever visited this section
of Georgia. The path of the
storm was about 10 miles wide,
and extended from Buford to
Cleveland. Hail as large as hen-
eggs fell, and the ground was
covered with hail-stones from two
to six inches in circumference.
It is reported that crops were
ruined in the path of the storm
both cotton and corn being beaten
into the ground to such an extent
that it will be impossible for it to
come out again.
Parties who were on the road
between this city and Dahlonega
at the time of the storm state that
mules and horses were consider
ably bruised and beaten by the
hail that fell.
N. G. A. C. Commencement.
This is commencement week in
Dahlonega, and many people have
passed through the city this week
on their way to the mountain
city, to attend the exercises. The
16th infantry band, which is one
of the best in the United States
army, went up to Dahlonega on
Sunday to make music for the
visitors and assist in the program
at the N. G. A. C.
The 16th infantry saw service in
the Philippines, and the band boys
are justly proud of the record
their regiment made while in the
tronics. Bandmaster* Klein was
in charge of the organization.
Buford First.
Within two hours after the
storm had passed, six physicians
and about fifty peoole from Bu
ford were on the scepe at New
Holland. Practically unaided,
this busy little band worked ail
the afternoon and night caring
for the dead and wounded at New
Holland.
Buford was first to send food
and clothing to the homeless.
Besides this two hundred aDd
twenty-five dollars was sent to
relieve the suffering.—Enterprise.
Mrs. Norris Dies.
Mr. W. H. Norris returned Sat-
uiday from Barnesville, where he
went to attend the funeral of his
mother who died Tuesday of last
week. Mrs. Norris was an esti
mable woman and leaves a large
number of relatives and friends to
mourn her death. Mr. Norris
friends in Gainesville deeply sym
pathize with him in the loss of
his mother.

response to Gainesville’s call for

sufferings on account of deaths,
iujuries, and loss of property, for
news reached the city on last Sat

Pacolet company, states that his

The loss of life in South Carolina
is also great.
Converse, Clifton and Dexter
Mills were also washed away,
their losses amounting to $2,000,-
000. Between 8,000 and 4,000
people are thrown out of employ
ment by the South Carolina
floods and the suffering will be
great unless -outside aid is given
immediately. The people of South
Carolina and other states are do
ing ail in their power to alleviate
the sufferings of the Pacolet, Con
verse, Clifton and Dexter people.
Notwithstanding this city is in
dire distress by reason of the re
cent tornado, the people forwarded
Monday several hundred dollars
to aid flood sufferers in South
Carolina.
The Southern railroad also lost
heavily on account of the heavy
rains and it required several days
for traffic to be resumed and the
trains run on regular schedule
time.
It is said that about 50 people
lost their lives on account of the
flood.

Mr. J. M. Hubbard has sold his
interest in the firm of S. W. Dav

Davidson, J. C. Pruitt and E. R.
Barrett, all of whom are splendid
business men. Mr. Hubbard has
