GREAT DESTRUCTION QF PROPERTY !
Talbot and Harris counties aro just
beginning to recover from the terri
ble effects of the destructive torna
does which visited them a few weeks
since. The ruins of this desolation
have not yet disappeared, and yet on
last Saturday afternoon these same
counties were visited by another tor
nado, which, while it was not so ter
rible as the first, yet caused much
destruction of properly and loss of
life.
The tornado seems to have entered
Harris county at Collins’ ferry, on
the Chattahoochee river. Before" this
time it is supposed that it was merely
a strong wind. Its course xvas direct
ly from west to east. Tho first place
it struck, so far as known, was that
of Mr. Hal Moss. Here all the houses
on tho promises were blown down,
and nearly all the stock killed. For
tunately the family took refuge in a
cellar and.were all saved. The whole
place xvas a scene of desolation, and
it is remarkable that no lives were
lost.
The promises of Air. John Hadley
and of Mr. John Barker wero next,
struck by the destroying storm. Here
all the houses were torn to pieces;
trees destroyed, fences blown axvny,
and a most general destruction of
property made. Fortunately no lives
wore lost.
Widow Smith's houses were blown
down, and she \x - as badly wounded.
There is a strong probability of her
recovery, howox'er.
Calvin Teel’s houses were blown
completely to pieces.
At tiiis point the eyclono crossed
the mountain, directly north of Ham
ilton. II seems to have been charac
terized by all the peculiarities of its
predecessor. A citizen saw it about
four mites from Hamilton. 1 1, crossed
the mountain where tho North &
South Railroad track reaches that lo
cality. The roaring sound of the tor
nado could be distinctly heard five
minutes before it came. This enabled
the people to seek refuge in ditches,
and thus the lives of many were saved.
They remembered tho roaring sound
which proceeded the other tornado,
and as soon as they heard the same
noise they knew what was coining.
The roaring of Murrah’.s mill prevent
ed t lie negroes there at work from
hearing the approach of danger, and
consequently several lives were lost,
and some of those who escaped were
very badly wounded. On Air. R. B.
Alobley’s place a number of cabins
were destroyed. The gin-house was
blown away, and a general havoc
made of the fencing on the place. Air.
8. I’. Grant lost several houses. Jesse
Roberts, Esq., a very old man, lost all
his outhouses. His frame dwelling
was saved, but several shed rooms
were torn away from it. Air. Morgan
Murrah lost his dwelling and out
houses, and all of his provisions were
destroyed. His family fled to an old
field on hearing the approach of the
tornado, and were thus saved. Air.
W. C. Davis’ houses were torn to
pieces and the timbers scattered far
and wide. He and his wifi; and child
were badly injured by the falling
planks. Mr. B. G. Hood lost his
blacksmith shop, his gin-house, and
ail his out-houses. They were com
pletely destroyed. His dwelling es
caped. At Air. AI. H. Spence’s pi aw
the desolation was terrible. Three
negroes were killed. All the out
houses were destroyed, the dwelling
unroofed, and three rooms torn off.
The forest around was torn to pieces
and made a scene of destruction.
Beech Spring Church, just in front
of Air. Spence’s house, xvas blown
down, and several negroes xvho were
in and near it were badly wounded.
Mr. John A. Middlebrook’s gin-house
and other out-houses were complete
ly destroyed.
Alurrali’s mills, on Mountain creek,
wero completely demolished. A ne
gro and his mule were both badly
hurt here. A white man near by
received severe injuries. The tor
nado crossed this creek no less than
six times. Mr. Pickens Murrah had
almost all his houses destroyed. Air.
Pinckney Alurrah’s place suffered
heavily. Houses were blown down
and fences carried far away from
their original positions. A store
house and an academy near these
places were blown to pieces and some
of the timbers carried a great dis
tance. Several negroes were xvound-

od in this vicinity, though no deaths
are reported.
Mr. M. C. Grant’s place was in the
line of the former terrible tornado of
the 20th of March. Three buildings
were destroyed here, and nothing
left on the whole place but one room.
Mr. Grant lias a pit for a place of
refuge from tornadoes. It would be
good policy for all tho farmers of
Harris county to follow ills example
in this respect if those tornodoes con
tinue.
Dr. S. G. ltiley had some tenant
houses destroyed. The occupants
were übseut and llius escaped.
Around Mr. J. T. Middlebrooks’
place the forests wore terribly de
stroyed. Fortunately'the house was
not in the line of the tornado.
The residence of Mr. 11. 15. Mobley
was badly injured. Several negroes
were wounded.
On good authority we give tho fol
lowing estimate of the loss in Harris
county so far as heard from :
Hal Moss, loss unknown, but con
siderable ; Hooch Spring church $800;
It. G. Hood $200; M. H. Spence $500;
Murruli’s mill and damage in vicinity
$1,500; It. 11. Mobley $1,500; S. P.
Grant $500: Pink Grant $300; M. H.
Murrah sß>Mi; Me. Grant $-500; Dr. S.
(>. Riley $1,000; and Thomas Middle
brooks SOOO making a total of $8,300
already estimated. The loss is much
heavier than this, for at many places
the amount of damage is not defi
nitely known. So far us reported
there were six lives lost in Harris
county -all negroes. Several white
persons were badly hurt.
The loss in Harris and Talbot is
not as large as that which resulted
from the tornado of March, but the
destruction of farms, forests and fen
cing is very general. Crops have suf
fered considerably, and many of the
farmers arc almost made prostrate
by this blow.
TUT. TORNADO IN TALBOT COUNTY.
The tornado struck Talbot county
nl the place of J. 1). Meyer, about :lj
o’clock p. m. Hero it destroyed all
the timber on tho laud it passed over,
made a complete wreck of fencing,
and demolished all tho grain crop.
The last four places mentioned
were in the track of tho tornado of
March, and almost everything left by
it was destroyed.
The storm next passed Sim De
loach’s plantation. A white boy and
a negro were in an old field; they lay
fiat, on the ground to save themselves;
a sill from a house nearby was blown
upon them ; tho negro was killed out
right and the white boy was severely
wounded.
Mr. M. V. Wilson lost all of his
houses. His wife was severely woun
ded, and he suffered slight injuries.
\V. P. Crawford’s place was badly
damaged.
Ail the houses on tho place of Mr.
James M. Weaver were blown to
pieces. Timbers were carried a con
siderable distance, and the whole
place was laid waste. Mr. Weaver
was badly hurt. A negro on the
place was killed, and several wore
badly wounded.
Two churches and an academy
were blown down at Valley Grove.
Dr. Owens’ place, near by, was oc
cupied by Rev. J. J. Harris. Ho
and his family had been to church,
and had returned with company.
They were all in the kitchen eating
dinner when the tornado reached the
place; the kitchen was blown down.
A young man named Kendrick, and a
young lady named Kennedy, were
killed. Thirteen persons were wound
ed. Several negroes on the place
wore wounded, and two or three were
killed. Among the white persons
wounded here were two daughters of
Mr. James W. Weaver, whose place
was damaged as stated above. Elev
en persons arc known to have been
killed in Talbot county. Tho destruc
tion of crops is general, and distress
ing great want prevails in tho section
of country through which tho storm
passed. Tho sufferers aro unable to
do anything for themselves as yet,
and it is to bo hoped that a helping
hand will be extended by those who
arc able to give relief. Some parts of
the State responded nobly when tho
terriblo tornado of March spread des
olation in these and other counties.
The farmers who escaped unhurt are
doing all they can to help their suf
fering neighbors. The track of the
tornado is described as being a scene
of utter ruin. Wholeforests are pros
trate; crops are ruined; dwellings
blown away, and scarcely a vestige
left where there was prosperity and
plenty.
This is truly a groat calamity,*and
its blow fails with crushing weight
since the terrible tornado which vis
ited these counties little more than a
ago. It is a remarkable fact that two
such tornadoes should occur in the
same year, and wonderful that they
should come almost together arid on
same day of the week.
This is the fifth tornado which has
passed over Harris county in forty
days. There must he some cause for
this strange coincidence, and it is
probable that the scientific men of the
country will attempt to explain it.
STORM IN TBOUI’ OOUNTY.
A violent storm is reported to have
occurred in Troup county near West
Point. Several houses are said to
have been destroyed and throe or
four lives lost. Fences, forests and
crops suffered greatly. The storm
passed the track of the Western Road
just before tho arrival of the passen
ger train.
HOUSTON COUNTY.
A telegram published in the Timks
on Sunday spoke of a storm in Hous-
ton county, fuller particulars of
which have since been obtained. Tho
destruction of property is reported to
bo large. Farmers are injured badly.
RUMORS
of a general destruction by storms all
over the State were current yester
day. It is probable that there was
some exaggeration, but there has un
doubtedly boon a great destruction
of property, loss of life, and havoc of
crops. It will boa long time before
the effects of this tornado and of tho
terrible one of last March shall have
entirely disappeared.
Hamilton, (la., May 2, 1875.
Mr. Editor:— Another terrible storm
occurred in this county on May Ist
(Saturday), about 4 o’clock r. m.
THIS IS THE FIFTH STORM
that has passed over this county with
in tho last six weeks, and was more
terrible than any of the proceeding
ones.
As wo learn, it came from Alabama,
crossing tho Chattaliooehoo river near
Collins’ ferry, and the first place it
struck was Mr. Collins', literally de
molishing his house, fonoingand tim
ber. The next place is 11. E. Moss’;
destroying his large dwelling house,
gin-house and outbuildings, and kill
ing all but one of Ids mules and eve
ry head of eat t 10. Tho next house was

everything, and killed all of his cat
tle. Next in turn was Elbert Garnett,
at which plaeo it played the same
havoc, besides wounding himself and
child severely. Next in course was

Mrs. Smith’s; herself and three of
her daughters were badly Injured.
The next was Calvin Davis; himself

and her mother xvas badly bruised.
Next Calvin Teel; houses all blown
away. Hero the storm crossed Pine
Mountain, two miles north of Hamil
ton, at Hogs’ gap. Tho next place it
struck was J. M. Mobley’s, blowing

fencing, and wounding two negroes.
Next Tip Grant; very severe, blowing
away everything. Jesse Roberts was
next; houses all gone except main
body of ins dwelling. Pink Grant’s
houses all gone. Morgan Murrah’s
houses and provisions all gone. Here
the family all lied into an old field for
safety. Mark Grant, who lives in the
line of tho storm of the 2th of March,
one and a half miles east of Valley
Plains, and who was badly torn up
then, had his plantation tools and ev
erything else, except ono house, blown
away by this storm. He had a pit
dug for safety, in which himself and
family were at the time of tho blow.
Hero it tore up trees, and was worse
than tho furies of the first storm. The
eartli was at tiiis time dry, but in the
storm of tho 20th of March wet. The
next place l hat felt its terribly destruc
tive power was Dr. Rnily’s; destroy
ing his house, fencing and forest.
Fortunately his family was from
homo at, tho time. Thomas Middle
brook’s forest and fences were all de
stroyed. He was tho last that suffer
ed in Harris county, on the lino of
Talbot.
J. D. Moye, in Talbot county, lost
his fences and forest. All of Rev. J.
H. Harris’s houses, excepting tho sta
ble, were swept away, arid a negro wo
man and child killed. Simeon do
Loach, Young do Loach, and a negro
boy laid on the ground together. The
negro boy was killed by a sill. Young
de Loach was not hurt.
At Valley Grove two Baptist church
es, and the Academy, aro gone; next,
Dr. Owens’ place, whore Rev. J. H.
Harris now lives. There was preach
ing at the Grove on that day, and his
family had returned with company,
and while they were dining the storm
came upon them, killing a young
man named Kendrick, an old lady and
mortally wounding her husband, Air.
Kennedy, an aged man ; twelve other
persons were wounded; and three ne
groes were killed, and others were
wounded. Tho houses are all gone,
except, the dwelling. Airs. Kendrick
and Airs. Lila Holmes, wore badly
hurt ;Smilie, a daughter of Mr. Weav
er, was wounded. Rev. Air. Harris,
at the time, was absent, at Bethany
Church, and xvhon he returned to his

like a hospital.” The next place, Rev.

gone; his wife was severely injured;
himself slightly hurt. At Air. Pinch
Crawford’s place, occupied by Mr.
Mills, considerable damage was done.
None of the family were hurt.
James Weaver’s houses are all gone;
Weaver was severely wounded, and
one negro man killed.
I h<jve heard nothing further from
east of this of the storm. It went in
a line easterly, and tho last mention
ed plaeo hero is about four miles west,
of the Double Bridges, on Flint river.
The average width of the storm was
about a quarter of a mile, and the
main track of tho line was about 120
yards wide. Frequently the timber
boing thrown out on tho sides of the
main lino, leaving the inside clear,
with great holes torn in the ground
largo enough to bury a man in; sup
posed to have been done by tho ends
of timbers being blown against the
ground. Respectfully, yours,
Charles Bedell,
Ass’t Postmaster, Hamilton, Ga.

WOUNDED —DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY
AND CROPS.
Special to tho Timkx hy S. & A. Line.]
Fort Valley, Ga., Alay 3.—This
community was visited, on Saturday
last, by tho most terrible storm of
hail, xvind and rain known since tho
settlement of this section. The dam
age to property was very great. All
the houses on L. B. Luster’s place,
and all the buildings except the dwel
ling on tho Bird pluoe, owned by E.
Fagan and occupied by Air. (loodAA'in,
were destroyed. A portion of the
dwelling on the Hugh Allen place
was blown down, severely wounding

and tho breadth of its track not over
six miles.

THE IRREPRESSIBLE TUNIS O. CAMPBELL.
Special to Daily Times, by 8. * A. Line.)
Savannah, Alay.'), On Friday morn

Immediately upon receiving this
