THE STORM.
On Sunday night, last, the most ter
rifflc rain and wind storm ever witnessed
in this section passed through our coun¬
tv, over part of our town, from west to
east. T-he wina had been b’owing brisk
ly duri D g the evening and at night, about
eleven o clock the lain began to pour,
the lightning flash and the wind increas¬
ed to a si orm. How long it lasted we
know not, but the destruction in its wake
tells of its power. We have not visited
any places outside oi the city but learn
that considerable damage has been done
to lands and timbers especially, The
first place it struck inside tiie inc rpora
lion was that of Mr. W. M. Huff, com¬
pletely demoli-hing his stables, barns,
shelters and fencing. Iiis barn top was
carried off and no trace can lie found of
it. His stock was left unhurt. Next came
a number of small dwelling occupied by
colored people two ou Mr. Huff s place.
They were completely destroyed—the
one occupied by George Young being
kiru into splinters, a td himself, wiieand
children carried bodily about 50 yds out
upon some rocks. They were all un¬
hurt except tire man who had his shoul
dier slightiy bruised. The dw filing of
.Mr. Lambert Branham was blowned to
the ground. Some out houses on the
premises of Mr. VVL A. Almand were
destroyed. The premises of (.'apt. J. M.
White, occupied by Mr. Willie Marbut
were considerably damaged. Every out
house, including stables, shelters Ac,
were blown to the ground. The main
dwelling was moved ah mt 4 or 5 inches
from its original foundation and tiie ell
, , . . .
) (i. 1 wi m o a i», irea ung up anc nnn
tag the kitchen furniture ot Mr. Marbut
considerably. Pieces of timber were
blown through the shingled root and a
new garden fence was blown away post
am! all. A li tie further on, at the place
down, smashing a nice buggy and scat
tering his forage to thefour or five winds
—or may be more His kitchen and
many other outside buildings were com
pletely demolished. At the place of
Mrs. Smith and otuers, small damages
were d.mo.. The houses of Mr. J. D.
Maddox, occupied by Mr. Abney, were
ai! destroyed excepting the main divei
ling, and it is badly damaged. Large
trees, three feet in diamater were blown
down, a fine carriage carrel off and
smashed to pieces. The roof on the old
residence, formerly owned by Dr. J. A.
Stewart and occupied at the time of the
storm by Dr. Glenn, was unroofed and
drenched with wind and water. The
damage lo this place is considerable.
From this place to the residence of Mr.
Rnbt. Ficmniing hut litlie damage was
done,"but this last place was completely
mashed. Mr. Fleming and his two sis
ters succeeded in getting out at tlechim
nev place which blew down just as tbe
house went to pieces, with only' a few
brutees. Thair furniture was badly
<Jvnagt<ul. The house belonged to Mr.
G Elliott. The place of Mr. Newton
Hollingsworth, was also considerably
damaged. His barn was partly unroof
ed, his cribs mashed down bv trees, 1 is
tine orchard torn up and his fences
blown fiat. While much damage has
been done to property, we are glad to
note that not a life was lost or any bones
broken-though thousands of limbs
wero We learn that tiie premises of
Mr. John Rice on the old Carr planta
tion and the property around Ge-i’s mills
were much injured. The water, also,
did much damage. Hillsi les and bot¬
toms are washed badly. Mr Andrew
Smith’s damage to his fine bottoms be¬
ing considerable. Much fine timber was
destroyed and thousands of panels of
fencing blown down. It is a glorious
thing that the stock law is in force.
Mr. James Huff lost a fine cow by a
tree falling on her.
The main path of the storm was about
400 yards wide
.Messrs. John Green G. P. Elliott,
Capt- White and J. D. Maddox are per¬

It is said oy many to be more destruc¬

M’CORD AND HIS GOATS-
1!Y e. a.
A comical sight is constantly seen
Grown familiar to the people in town,
Every day, in sunshine or in run,
It is seen through tbe precious year
a ound
A little buck board with two billy goats
And a little speckled dog named Jack,
A bunch ofja man with crutches beside
Familiarly known as “Old Mack.’’
He rushes through town with a Jehu
speed,
With his dog hoisted high up in his lap,
Re ,, ghaws” his tobacco and pops his
whip
And his crutches go fiipicy flap.
You’d think the old de’il front his prison
freed,
Such a noise and a clatter he will make
I As his long white beard sails back in tiie
breeze
All stained up with the juice of the
weed.
A coal black jet, as he whirls through
the town
At imervals shoots out. from His month
j ^ nd tnle ag a g lul> i d t s where he lady’s aims
Though tbe mark may be a

This modern John Gilpin while once on
a time
He was furiously dashing around
The wind blowing hard, uplifted his hat
And hurled it from his head to the
ground.
“Jack” knowing the state His master
was in.
A shining bright pate exposed to the
rain,
Leaped speedily down, gave chase to the
hat
And bravely brought it in triumph
again.
Such is the love that companionship
breeds
That many similar stories are true,
But stranger than all. if you will believe,
The hilly goats will beg you for a chew !
And chew it they will and swallow it to»i
With the gusto that their master will

But the nice art of ejecting its juice
Is a lesson he could never infuse.

how'many graves can you point to in

once good and node citizens, dragged
there by its mighty power? How many
wrecks of noble manhood can be seen
upon our streets during a year? How
many women and children suffer on its
account? It should be wiped entirely
from our county—and until it is done,
the courts, ihe churches nor the people
will have done their duty.
SINGING SCHOOL. J
1
He was quite a lad to undertake a job
like opening a singing school in Conyers,
hut went at it bravely.
The first pupil was Dr. Travis, of that
place, and after the first lesson he gave
the doctor up as a bad job.
The t began singing togeth- ‘
wo a song
stopped, er, and coming but the to old a rest the went teacher right I j
man
ahead.
As soon as he could be subdued, the I
teacher said.' :
'
“You should have stopped when I ,
did; we came to a rest, and should |
pause.”
“Oh,” ihe doctor replied, “I wasn t
tired; so I thought I’d keep on singing j
till I did get tired, and then stop for j
good'” c
With an awful look, the young man
said:
‘•Well, I’ll give you up; ’tain't no use
to try to beat the rudiments of music in¬
to you.’ —Georgia Major.
