COLUMBUS, GA., FRIDAY, MAY 7, 1875.
THE LITE 111 ItKH tXES.
Tornado iti liimiu'll Toiiilt.v.
Beale, Ai,a., May 6, 1875.
Editor s Times: On last Monday
night, between nine and ten o’elook,
a destructive tornado swept across
the southern part ot Russell county,
passingfroin southwest to northeast.
Fortunately, it did not strike the
buildings on but few places, else loss
ot life would have boon extensive.
The first place it struck, so far us 1
can ascertain, was the plantation of
Sam and John Fitts, between this
place and Glentiville. Four or five
miles of fencing wore torn to pieces
and carried away, many of the rails
were broken; a field of cotton just up
was cut oil clean just at tHo ground,
as if clipped with scissors; twelve
mules were hi a stable which fell
upon them without killing any of
them, though bruising them some;
four or five framed negro cabins, full
of sleeping negroes, were torn to
atoms without killing any of them,
though hurting some of them seri
ously; a part of the- dwelling was
blown away, and all the shade trees,
except one- a large water-oak -which
singular to say, was driven downward
into the earth about two feet, and
left standing; it is about two feet in
diameter.
It is difficult to imagine tin-power
of such a wind. Many of the largo chi
na trees wore first blown down, then
taken up and carried entirely away,
leaving their prints full length on the
ground. Two corn-cribs, and all the
lot and yard fencing were, blown away,
and all the timber on a large tract of
wood land was prostrated. Seventy
-11 vo wood-cut ters ure now at work on
the place, replacing the fences. The
Pitts estimate their loss at a thousand
dollars.
Tlie top of Mrs. Gordon's gin-houso
was blown off; and at Col. Lindsay’s
place, a stable was Mown down, amt
a mule killed.
The track of tho storm was from a
quarter to a half-mile wide, and it car
ried away every panel of fencing in
its path. Those are all the casualties
yet ascertained. I have not heard
where itcommoueed nor exactly where
it subsided. It is supposed that it,
did great damage before it reached
tho Pitts place, and that at or near
Col. Lindsay’s, it rose, and probably
descended across tho river on tho
Georgia side; probably doing great
damage over tliero; say, In the neigh
borhood of Lumpkin.
The wholesale dest ruction of fences
at this particular season of tho year
is a very serious calamity, especially
in the section of the county visited by
tho storm, for the crops have been ul
na ist complete failures for three con
secutive years, caused by the enter
pillars.

At Home, May 4, 1875.
To the citizen s of Cusreta and Com
munity: At about 11 o'clock last night,
a most terrible and destructive tor
nado passed through the neighbor
hood of Messrs. 11. M. Jenkins, Dr.
Griffin William Ward and Dr, Wil
liam Chambliss, carrying destruction
and much suffering in its path. It
came in a southwest direction, tak
ing, as far as 1 can hear, the above
gentlemen in its sway. I was tho
guest of Mr. Jenkins at tho time, and
language fails to describe the shrieks
of the women and children. Much
damage was done. Dr. Griffin is
ruined; his fencing all gone, and not
a house standing on his promises.
Judge Jenkins’ loss was heavy; his
houses are all gone demolished ox-j
cepl his dwelling, and the dining
room of that, with cooking utensils,
etc. Dr. Griffin and Mr. Ward have
no place now not. a sing!" house loft
to protect them from the weather.
Th".-" two gentlemen and Mrs. Grif
fin are very much bruised up. Mr.
Chambliss was at court in Lumpkin.
His house was demolished, and his
wife received injuries sufficient to kill
her. Bho is about to die. I can’t go
into particulars. There is much dis
tress, and the wounded need medical
attention. No one killed that. I know
of. These gentlemen named are
ruined. They have some provisions
Tin liand. They need help help to
jnitiip their fences. Will you all not,
as the ground is too wetto plow, send
these sufferers aid to-day and to-mor
row ? I have not told you half. I
can’t toll it>—don’t know how to write
it. Can't Dr. Howard visit them?
Take this matter in hand. Dr. Peek
is busy in his section and can’t at
tend them. Come to the rescue—|
come quick come soon! They all
need yotir help. J. B. Harr.

Ihc Hurricane in Harris.
Valley Plains, Ga., May 2d.
Editor Thin’*: At about half past
3 o’clock Saturday evening, May Ist,
another very destructive tornado
passed one mile north of Valley
Plains. We had several heavy dry
winds an hour before the storm,
which seemed to boa warning of dan
fljnr. When first seen it, seemed to bo
about Goodman’s Gap, where it
bounded over tho mountain and
struck the place of Rube Mobley,
Where it blew down all the outhouses.
His dwelling escaped. Three ne- 1
groes were wounded, but no one j
killed. Charley Bmith’s houses were j
badly injured. From here it ftp- (
preached tho plantation of Thomas ;
Copeland, blowing down fences and j
trees, but no lives were lost. Next it
reached the home of Jesse Roberts,!
| Sr., where it played destruction with
! property. He had a mule carried off
jin tho wind. All his houses woro
! blown down except his dwelling,
which is badly damaged. You have
but to see it to, know how destructive it
was. Milton Roberts’ fences wore
all laid to the ground. Oscar Barns’
place was badly damaged. Pink
Grant’s dwelling was blown down,
and two little boys came near being
killed by tho firing of a gun. From
here it bounded over a high hill and
down to Morgan Murray's, where it
tore his dwelling and outhouses all
to atoms. He and Ids family escaped
by running out into un out field and
falling ou the ground, where, hosays,
tho rocks pelted him pretty badly.
No lives lost. Mae Grant's farm was
badly torn up. Thomas Middle
brook’s place was also badly demol
ished. From hero it leaped into
TAI.UOT COUNTY,
Where it first approached John Gam
ble, Sr. \s, blowing his fences and tim
ber to the ground. No damage was
dowu to his houses.
From John Gamble’s it struck Mar
tin Wilson’s place, where it seemed to
be doubled in power. It left not a
shelter to cover Ids head; supposes
it took off one of his mules, as it can
not, lie found, and wrenched tho
wheels off Ins new buggy and carried
them half a mile.
Now, with a redoubled fury, mad
ness and power, it leaped upon the
dwellings of Rev. John Harris and
George Kennedy, whore it began the
destruction of life. Geo. Kennedy’s
wife was killed and he dangerously
wounded, receiving several bad outs
on the skull. Ills daughter is hope
less ; many severe bruises and several
bad cuts over tho eye; skull also bad
ly out. His grand-daughter was very
badly hurt, but hopes are entertained
of her recovery.
Barney Roberson, a nephew of
Martin Wilson, who was in George
Kennedy’s house, was badly bruised
and several cuts on the skull.
Rev. John Harris’ family were un
hurt, but. Mrs. Kendrick, who was
living in un out-house in the yard,
had her arm broken, and H. B. Ken
drick’s little boy, Eddie,had his neck
broken and his bodybiidlvmutilated.
Tho pillar of the house fell across
ids neck. Mrs. Holmes, a daughter
of Judge James Weaver, had a severe
gash cut across her forehead four
inches long, but not dangerously
hurt. Bix jiersons were in tho house
ns it, was blown to pieces.
Next, with increased power, it
struck tho double churches, where it
Mowed them into a million atoms.
Tho benches cannot bo found any
where. Large oaks were no more
than straws.
It then played destruction with
Bam Mills’ place. Ho and his family
ran out into afield on the border of
tlie storm and were not hurt.
No houses were in its path from
Bam Mills’ until it approached Judge
James Weaver’s, wltere it seemed to
We more raging and madder titan ev
er. As with tho force of a cannon
ball, it took tho very bottom logs and
hurled them in evory direction. His
breast bone is fractured and other
bruises and injuries. His daughter
hurt. Judge Weaver had SI,OOO in
gold blown away. A negro man wag
killed.
It next laid low tho plantation of
George Elder; no one killed. From
there it went on playing destruction
with the timber until it struck John
Cameron, where all his houses were
blown down except his dwelling; no
person killed. Nothing more heard
from the storm from John Came
ron’s.
Mr. Editor, wo send this as truth,
for we followed tlie tornado from
Thomas Copeland’s to John Came
ron’s, and witnessed with our own
eyes everything that we have stated.
No doubt we have made many
grammatical errors, but under ox
eitement and fntigne we can’t, do any
better. Yours, truly,
J. A. McChokey.
