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. Till* MOi'ill ill CllllltllllOllChPl'. an APPEAL !\)R AIL) TO THL Hi KFI.KLitH. 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. TEEEGKIPIIIC ITK.WS. Hju rial to tho TlMF.fi by H. k A.
