Toccoa, Gb., March s. —Last night at 10:40 o’clock a cyclone of unprecedented fierceness in this mountain region visited Toccoa and vicinity, damaging quite a numberof houses, demolishing sev eral and killing Mrs. Miller, moth er of Mr. C. R. Miller, a prominent merchant of this place. Many large trees were uprooted and fences were blown in every di rection. Since the storm passed over, news from the surrounding coun try brings many stories of disas ter. The cloud and wind came from the southeast. At 10:80 o’clock the operator at Cornelia, fifteen miles southeast of this place, wired Operator Jack Oreasey, at Toccoa, that a cyclone was coming in this direction. That was the first in timation that any one in Toccoa had of the cyclone’s approach, and was the last time, up to this hour, 11 a. m. Sunday, that any connec tion with the south could be had. At this hour the wiros still re fuse to work and all trains on the Southern are running without or ders. The cyclone came with its ac customed suddenness. Many cit izens were closing their places of business, leaving for their residen ces when the city was struck by the wind. They sought refuge wherever they could, many being caught on the streets unable to reach any house. The cyclone lasted for a few minutes only. As soon as it was over, it was at once discovered thet the damage had been consid erable. MRS. MILLER KILLED. The only death was that of Mrs. Miller, about sixty years of age. Just as the cyclone came up she went from the sitting room into her owu room. This was the last time she was seen alive. At that moment the house collapsed, the whole of one side of Edward Bros large brick warehouse falling upon the rear of the Miller dwelling. The roof and ceiling of the house was crushed in upon Mrs. Miller, covering her under five or six feet of debris. After two hours’ hard labor, the body of Mrs. Miller, ter ribly mangled and torn, was recov ered. The entire front end of the T. A. Capps two-story brick building was blown out, leaving Mr. Capp’s large stock of goods, filling two stores, at the mercy of the wind and rain. The tin roof was rolled into a perfect twist and blown across the city park. In the front end of this building Mr. R.L. McConnell rooms. He had been confined to his bed with rheumatism for more than a week. When the walls fell he was alone. He remained in his room helpless, with one wall blown away, until the wind subsided to some extent, when be managed to reach the streets in terrible ago ny. STORES AND WAREHOUSES WRECKED. The large brick warehouse of Edwards Bros. iB a total wreck. The roofs are torn from the Sim mon’s brick store, formerly occu pied by Dance & Kilgo, aud from the house occupied by R. L Mc- Connell. Several small houses were blown from their pillars. One negro cabin was blown away, leaving the occupants unhurt on the floor. The Presbyterian and Baptist MARCH, APRIL, MAY.

Marietta, Ga., March s. —At 8 80 o’clock last night Marietta was visited bv a very heavy storm. The rain poured down in torrents and the wind was very strong. It was alarming for some minutes and many thought that the result would be more serious than it was. The roof was blown off of part of the building owned by Proses sor F. L. Freyer and occupied by The Marietta Journal. Considerable damage was done by water, but it was quickly dis covered that the roof was off and in a very short time men were at work repairing the roof and pro tecting the machinery and stock of The Journal.

OASTORIA. Basn th. _/f The Kind You Have Always Bought "“.T In Memory of A. G- Harris. Again the angel of death has visited our midst and taken away our beloved friend, Bro. A. G. Har ris, who died Thursday morning March 22nd. He had been declin ing in strength for some time with old age and disease. With sad ness we mourn the loss of such a man, whose heart was so generous and kind, yet with pleasure we say he had all the traits of a chrig tiau, and while it was our earthly loss it was bis spiritual gain, and if it was the will of Him who gives all things we would not have it otherwise, for we know thai it is appointed of all men to die, for death is the road to endless joy, and sure there is a rest for the weary. Yet our human nature will not let us forget our friends nor cease to mourn their loss, even though it be their gain. Bet it said that Gwinnett county has lost one of her best citizen®, the town of Suwanee one of her foremost men in always standing up for the right anil trying to suppress the wrong. Let it be said with honor to him that the church and Sabbath-school will miss him more than anything out side of the family circle. He was a devoted Christian, always loyal to his church and all its interests, and the Book of all Books says that “ye shall know them by their fruits.” Still we know that none of us will miss his smiles, his kindness and his sun-beams like the family, for they nave lost a husband and a father. While some one may till his place iQ the church and in business, no oue can fill the vacancy in the home circle. Yet we would say to the bereaved ones that they’, too, must some day follow in his footsteps. Be ye ever faithful, for you are promised a meeting over there, where there will be no parting, and old age, pain and sorrow can not molest. W lii’ii we Rather in the home circle There will be a vaunt chair; We shall linger to care** him As we breath our evening prajer. .Just a little while aRO we gathered, Jot watt in his mild blue aye, But a golden cord is broken. And our hope* in ruin lie. Oft he strove to make us happy With the kindness of his heart; Yet it bleed* our hearts with sorrow When we thiuk we had to part. But we »ay, “Sleep on, dear /at her,” For now you have no cares or paiu: But we hope beyond this* sorrow That we all shall meet again. Lewis 1\ Cross. PINKY GROVE. Special to THE NEWS.

Our town and community at this instance mourn the loss of Mr. A. G. Harris, who died Thursday moruing, March 3rd, about, fl:30 o’clock and was interred at the cemetery with Masonic honor 9 Friday morning, witnessed by a large concourse of friends and rel atives. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. H. A. Hodges, his pastor, at the Methodist church in a most impiessive and affecting manner. Dr. J. W. Oslin, of Gainesville, represented the Ma sonic Order, and made oue of his happiest and most forcable talks, exhorting every one to strive to emulate the example of the de oeased His address throughout was thoroughly practical, timely and eloquent, and created a pro found impression. In the death of Judge Harris, as he was called by mauy of his friends, the town and county loses one of its mo'st prominent and useful citizens, his church an active, devout co-work er, always contributing liberally his wide influence for good as well as his substance, and was never found wanting or derelict. The family has lo&t a noble, Christian, kind and indulgent father and hus band. It should be a sweet con solation, however, to them to know that their loss is his eternal gain, and that the praises he so often shouted in his church are now ful ly realized by being seated at the right hand of the great white throne, where no pain nor sickness nor sorrow is found.
