CYCLONE SUNDAY . NIGHT*
About 12 o’clock last night a
terible cyclone passed ever the east¬
ern portion of Jones county about
tliroe miles north of Haddock’s
station, going in an easterly direc¬
tion. As far as heard from no great
damage was done until it s’ruck the
place of D. W. Lester. Fortunately
none of the houses were in the way,
and the damage to the place wns
slight. The next place was that of
II. D* Lester. Here the cvclone
scorned to go nearer the group d and
swept away every thing in its track.
The grove around Mr. Lester’s
house was composed oflarge oaks
These were twisted and bceten about
as it they had beeu so many straws.
The orchard, a large one find Oiled
with valuable choice fruit trees was
almost destroyed. Every outhouse
on the place except one was blown
away, hardly a vestige being left.
The dweling house was greatly dam
aged. The roof on one side is al
most a complete wreck. Both
chimneys were partly blown down,
Al 1 the colutns under the front porch
except two wore wrenched out, and
this side of the house was demolished,
The cyclone passed directly through
the front yard, and, but for the
strong manner in which tlie
was constructed, would have suffered
much more damage. None of the
inmates of the hotse were hurt ex
eept Mr. Lester, who was iu front of
the fireat the time.
Hurled Against The Mantle.
He was throne with great violence
against the mantlepiece and received
a slight wound on the forehead,
There is not a rail left on Mr.
Lo 3 ter's place, and at tills writing . .
it is difficult to estimate the loss.
The next place visited was that of
Geo. Perdue. He lost two horses,
and all hU corn and fodder was
blown away. From bore the storm
r-»'"•>■■■ Idowing off tlie top of the house —
went into Baldwin county. It struck
doing great damage and devasting
everything in its track. The
lowiug list of casualties and tosses
have been reported up to this
hour.
At the place of Lid Williams,
colored, on the old Cobb
j the dweiirig house was blown down,
i ar » ( * a ^° the stables, cribs and all
I the outhouses, with corn, and fodder,
etc. Williams was badly hurt about
the shoulders by falling timbers.
The gin house of Andrew Banks
was blow away.
A couple of negro cabins on John
'Roy’s place were . demolished• Mr.
j Tatnra lost his gin-house and all of
; his cabins. The chimney to the
dwelling house was blown down and
a colored woman in one ol the
| . ins on the place was badly mashed
by lading timbers. A negro man
was badly braided about the
head.
STABLES BLOWN A WAY.
WiliiB Hawkings ba-i his stables
blown down, and lost a valuable
horse and bad three mules badly
cripple, l-T had a cyclone policy
on hi* stock,
The path of the cyclone paasaed
witidn a mile of town, sfricking the
the upper edge of * r . L. Cariog
a* a i .
ton's and M r. Jake G u m m \s pi aces,
but doing no damage of any conse¬
quence at the two latter places, j
Here the rain poured down in torrents '
and the lighning was fearful. The
News correspondent was about eight
miles Irom the path of the cyclone
and could hear the roar distinct
lv.
A s tor in rpgcd in Macon about
midnight. Tho wind Was tierce and
strong. Noise like distant thunder
was heard over the city, and this
must have bt-en the roar of the cy¬
clone oil its way through the upper
portion of the county. About 12
o’clock or a tew m.nutes thereafter
rain fell in torrents. No damage
was done so far as it has been posi
hie' to learn, except a slight da range
to the roof of the City Hall mule
lot. The wind rolled up a portion
of the tin roofing like a scroll, and
tore out, one of the props. As the
mules belonging to tha city are quar¬
tered uoder this roof, they stood in
great danger. Workmen were en¬
gaged to-day in repairing the dam¬
age.

Tji© Itev. Z. P. "Wilds, 'wt'J.-liuown city

of tii© late eminent Judge Wilds, of tho

as follows:
“73 L. Mth Si., Ketn York, May 16, 1882 .

Last winter 1 was troubled with a most

I was also a sufferer from a

YUS poor, and my system a good

Sarsaparilla, and by observation of
uer cases, from personal use

above-named, disorders. My appetite im¬
proved almost from the first dose. After
a short time the fever and itching were
skin allayed, disappeared. and all signs My catarrh of irritation of V
and CO'
were also cured by the same means, ■
my it general health greatly improved, u.
is now excellent. I feel a hundred p,

to the use of tho Sarsaparilla, which
I recommend with all confidence as the

it in small doses three times a day, and
these used, in facts all, legs than two bottles. 1 place
