THE TORNADO SEASON .ip
PROACHJNG.
The meteorological conditions
in (he west and south for the past
two days, for the first /line this
season, very nearly approached
those favorable to the genesis of
toranodes Various heoriea o!
ike birth of the tornado have bean
advanced. Mr. Silas Beut, of S •
Louis, bolds tha when t oco d,
heavy northerly wind of the Mis
sissippi valley encounters the
warm sou'herly current, the for
mer. owing to its greater specific
gravity, wedges under or under
runs the light soufik winds, and
thus placed between the warm
earth below and the s*ill warmer
south wind above, and, feeling tl e
impulse of its increasing te.upeia
(ure, beg.ns to expaud; but, being
stiil pressed onward by its owe
Volume in the rear, at last finds a
w. ak spot in ibe stra um above,
when the fatal whil originates in
(he breach thus made. This the
ory is undoubtedly iu accordance
with physical laws and observa
tion, Ttie death-dealing storms
of ihe cen rai vadeys is formed
only when great thermal contrast
eqists within limited areas. Yes
terday at the same houi the the
ruiometor read as low as 37 de
grees in the upder Missippi val ey
and 83 degrees on the lower Mis
sissippi; the contrast on Sa/uiday
was still more striking—so de
gress at St Louis and 9 ■ degrees
at Yicksburg. Fortunately, so
f ar this spring, but few, if any,
severe whirlwinds have been te
ported in the south and west, Bui
from present n dications the truce
between the tori ado-breading do
me t ts can not long be maintained.
The western meteorologists snould
be on the lockout for the periodic
development of tornakoee, and re
new their efforts to foeewaru
threatened districts of their ap
proach .
A GREAT CONVENTION.
The press of the Country, North
and South, should use its influ
ence to impress the public with
the great impor*anc > of the ap
proaching National Convention
which assembles on the 19th inst.,
in Atlanta. Every preparation is
being made bp tne projectors tu
render it a signal success and to
make its influence felt, beneficial
ly, in all sections of the R jpibl'c,
It will be attended by many of
die most experienced, practical
and able men of the several States, j
who bave at heart the promotion j
of the Commercial interests of the
entire Country. The President
will probably be present, but if
lie souid fail to appear there will
bu no lack of statesmanship or
patriotic zeal in the Convention.
We greatly desire that there
shall be a large at tendance from
our own aeoiion. A visit to the
Capital, on that occasion, will be
amply repaid. While people of
all pursuits will be interested in
what they may see and hear in the
Convention, those engaged in ihe
various branches of commerce will
be more directly beuefitted.
The At’anta Chamber of Com
raerce, by whom this splendid en
terprise was projected, deserves
the thanks of the public, for such
a convention can not fail to pro
mote, in a large degree, the wel
fare of the whole people. Com
merce is the active agency ot all
industries and unites the human
race in a common brotherhood,
working harmoniously, through
this medium, for tie general con
veu ence, bappine-s and prosperity
It is of the highest import-nee
that such an agency should be
controlled by wise tnd equitable
rules, and tnis is, we presume-, one
ot be cfieif objects of heapdro.ch
ing convocation.
Each town of one thousand in
habitants is entitled to one dele

FROM FLORIDA
Tucker iown. Fm. April. 28, 1885.
Editor Hf.rm.d. —Seeing in
your paper, now am l then, some- 1
thing from Florida, reminds me
of a dmy i owe to many good j
fiieuds of old Gwinnett. When
I reached this place, last Fall, as- -
ior a long, tiresome journey es
twenty -four days over-land with
my family, I felt like, if I were
back at Duluth, I would let well
enough a'one.
But after spending the winter
here, and shunning all the snow,
sleet aid cald winds of Nor b
hfeergia, and having in its stead a
protracted May, with green gar
dens of cabbage, turnips, etc,
And since March 15tb, Irish po
tatoes, beans, pens, vomaioea and
all Spring vegetables, I feel much
better satisfie 1. I have not found
it as Mr. //oleombe gives it:
j -‘Through the winier, nothing but
bard-tack, and die country al’ wa
ter. with little strips of land to
divide it up.” That may have
suiteu the part of Fiord* he saw,
but it wont do for Hernando.
Here we have ihe prettiest high
pine land I ever saw, with some
lakes and hammock land.
Our country is uew, being so
far from Railroads. But we will
soon have two, One broad and
! one narrow guagepassing through
| this part of the county. Land is
advancing in price fast. To give
you ati idea of how it leaps up
out of reach. I will give what
fias come under my own knowl
edge I was offered land one
year ago at S2O per acre tha/ has
been sold since that time for SIOO
ai-d ; s still goiug up
Mr. J. J. Bavin, the son of a
good bit' poor man of your coun
ty, wlro hag rented land to make a
living on ever since he has lived in
Gv inDet', came wish me to Flor
ida last October, and breught
with him two ponies and a wagon
that would not have sold in Geor
gia for more thau $225 cash. He
traded his team for twerty acres
of land, that cannot now be
bought for less than SSO per acre.
And if the railroads form their
junc.ion where it is now expected,
it will sell for even more in less
ban twelve months. But every
one does not stiike it that way.
Bsvis happened to be one of the
lucky ones, 'hough there are oth
ers who have done as well, and
some better.
There are at present, good bar
gains in Railroad lands, which
art offered at $4 per acre, which
will set) for $lO in twelve months.
Well some will say, “If it is as
good as that, down there, and
was so a man could live there, J
would go, but the chills will kill
me.” And some will write and
and ask, *Ts it healthy? Dj you
have chills?” Yes, I will answer
them now. It is heal by, yet
some have chills, and if there is a
spot in the State where theie are
no chills I have never been able to
find it yet, and I bave been over
a good pari of nineteen counties
and I find this Tucuertown settle
ment as free from chills as any
place I have seen.
Some will say, “If people have
chills there, I would not live iheie
a any price ” Well, people bave
cbids in Georgia, and in Gwin
nett couuty sometimes. Jus Iso
in Hernando. So don't be afrai i
oi a / nng that vishts all parts oi
the coun ry, and dues no more
damage i ban chills.
We have people aronnd us
from all parts of the south, prin
cipally from Georgia.
For fear my letter will he too
lengthy I will close by asking yuu,
Mr. Editor, and fiieuds, to exeme
errors as iam not in the habit of
wntiug for publication. Should
this find its way into prim you
Will heai more from me later.
