Deutli Of MTr. T. M. Thi-lkeld.
Mr. T. M. Thrcikcld, cme of the oldest
citizen# of Columbus, died yesterday of
pneumonia. He had lived in the city and
vicinity for many years.
Hettrurtlon of Fruit.
It is to Ix3 feared that the hard hail storm
of Monday night did much damage to the
fruit in this city mid vicinity. A gentle
man, on yesterday, Informed us that he
Imd an apple orchard containing several
acres and a flne lot of trees. He says that
the hail beat off no less than twenty-five
bushels of young apples, and tore off half
of the louves. The ground is covered with
young apples, which are indented and torn
where the stones struck. This is the heav
iest loss wo liave heard of, and it is to be
hoped that the hall did not fall elsewhere
so heavily ns it did on tills spot .
Condition tf Mr. Kohrrt Pickett.
On yesterday we learned that Mr. Rob
ert Pickett, who was so seriously cut last
Saturday nigiil* was in a very precarious
condition. He is still suffering a great
deal, and seems hi grow but little bettor.
He lias good medical attendance; but it is
impossible as yet to predict the result of
his wounds.

The Stewart Couaty T.m.do,
Full particulars from Stewart county
giio nothing further than our account of
the tornado givon on yesterday. It seems
that after passing Henry Oordy’s plaee nt
Green Hill, It destroyed no more houses.
It continued to devastate tho forests and
sweep away fences, however. Tho de
struction of tlmbor is said to have been
immense. It is feared that Dr. Gridin will
not recover. His skull Is badly bruised
and perhaps fractured. The scalp Is torn
terribly. No deaths further than those
given have been reported. The tornado
seems to have continued, with somewhat
abatis 1 forco, on Into Marlon county. The
last ravages reported aro at Moss Hill,
where, tho woods are badly torn to pieces.
The path of tho tornado is said to be
clearly marked out, and it Is described ns
a desolate section. Wo arc happy to hear
that full reports do not increase tho num
ber of destroyed houses or add to the list
of the killed and wounded. The poople
have suffered cuough, and It Is cheering
that no further calamity is reported.
An interesting letter from Green Hill,
Stewart county, nddressod to Messrs.
Watt A Walker, giving mi account of the
storm in that county, was addressed to
the Times by thorn, but was furnished to
the other office first, where It was de
tained until too late for publication this
morning.
Incldniti of flu* Hectut Toniudod.
Several incidents are reported of the
fearful tornado which paawxl over Stewart
county on last Monday night. Yesterday
we heard from good authority that a most
remarkable circumstance occurred at the
residence of Mr. H. M. Jenkins. Mr. Jen
kins is an old man. He and his wife slept
in a corner room of the house. The storm
made a' general havoc of his place. All
his outhouses were destroyed and the
dwelling unroofed. It Is asserted by an
eye witness that a plank from the roof
was blown into the house with terrible
force and driven into the wall just over
Mr. Jenkins and his wife. The plank was
held so iirmly in position just above them
that it was impossible for them to rise.
They were pinned down so tightly that
they lay there until neighbors found them
in this position and broke the plank off so
that they*cxuld rise. The position must
have been terrible and cannot Ix3 realized
without being experienced.
The following incident of childish sim
plicity and innocence was related to us by
a gentleman from Talbot county: When
tho hail storm of Monday night was ap
proaching, the roar of the disturbed ele
ments could be heard several minutes bo
fore the fall of the hail. Mr. James Mar
shall, of Talbot county, who was with his
family at home, observing that his wife
was somewhat, alarmed—she, doubtless,
supposing, as many did, that it was
another cyclone -asked her not to l>e
alarmed, as “tho Lord rode upon the
storm.” His little daughter, about four
years of ago, replied, “Yes; but l am
afraid the thing that the Lord rides upon
might throw Him.”

C hamber of Commerce.
At last tho Chamber of Commerce has
met. After throo fuiiur3a a quorum lias
at last Ixien secure*!, and last night ten of
our merchants were present at tho meet
ing.
Mr. G. Gunby Jordan, Secretary, was
called to tho chair. Mr. J. F. Iverson,
Secretary, road the minutes of the last
meeting, which woro approved.
At the last meeting a was
appointed to secure, if possible, bettor
rutes of insurance. Mr. H. T. Crigler, of
the committee, asked for further timo,
and had nothing as yet to report. Time
was granted. The chair thought the com
mittee were acting well in the matter, and
that their efforts might lx* successful and
beneficial to our interests.
President A. M. Allen, one of the com
mittee appointed to use their luiluenco
witli the Legislature to repeal the lien
law, said the committee did what it could,
and tho law was happily repealed. The
sentiments expressed by the Chamber
must havo had its influence. The repeal
of tho lien law was one of the greatest
blessings of recent legislation. Major
Allen said this circumstance showed wiiat
influence the Board could have if it
pleased. If this influence is properly
um*d the legislation of the country may be
favoraidy lulluenced.
Capt. O’Keefe, on the River Committee,
had nothing new to report. The improve
ments were progressing well. The Chair
said the work was progressing ilnely.
Capt. O’Keefe said the Central Line of
Boats had recently made arrangements
whereby much more favorable rates of
freight could Ixs obtained for Columbus.
Freights have been greatly reduced.
Tho Ciiair stated that Eufaula had a
great advantage over Columbus on ac
count of a through line of freights. But
for a little narrow-mindedness on our part,
we might have equal advantages with any
sister city. The Chair did not see why
this through line could not be brought
here.
Maj. Allen suggested that an effort in
this direction lx* made at once.
The Chair thought this would come
within the province of the River Com
mittee.
Capt. O'Keefe thought it should lx; at
tended to by the Transportation Corn
mi ttee.
Maj. Allen moved that this committee
be instructed to take the matter in hand
and do what it could. Carried.
Major Allen made some remarks on the
general depression in business circles.
It is the duty of the Chamber to dissipate
this feeling. He felt this depression every
time tiie Board met, because tho mer
chants seemed to feel so little concerned
in our great commercial interests. We
should awake from this lethargy. If the
few who now feel a proper interewt in these
affairs will use their influence they may
arouse* an interest in the others and cause
our merchants to turn out once a month
to consider matters of importance to all.
If the effort is properly made this essen
tial Interest may lx*, created. There has
been m<*eting alter meeting without a quo
rum. This was depressing. There are al
ways matters of interest to come up for
consideration. He felt very much de
pressed when lie viewed the general con
dition of the country. However, the agri
cultural interests were somewhat improv
ing, and there was some ground for hope.
The planters seem determined to assume
a position for progress.
He thought this would bo the last year
of depression. When the farmers arouse
and get ready for action, the merchants
should afford every possible facility for
their aid and progress.
(Here the Major’s time ran out, but it
was unanimously extended.)
An immense amount of grain has bo**u
planted this year. He had walked over '
many farms, and there was a line pros- ]
pcct for a maguiflcciit corn crop. Tho!
ground is better prepared than ever. Tho
old programme seems to have been
changed. The merchants can do business
with planters now with more safety than
ever. We ought to give tho planters all
the help we can.
Mr. T. A. Cantrell wished to know Why
the banks had closed their doors against
the planters.
Maj. Allen thought the greatest curse to
the country were those concentrated ex-
is laid away by millions
in vaults, to be used in margins. If In*
had the power he would blow up every
exchange In the land. These caused the
closing of the doors of the banks against
farmers.
It seemed tliat no eonimitUv* on Trans
portation had ever been appointed, and it
was moved that tho Chair appoiut one.
t He appointed ou that eommitbv Maj. A.
M. Allen, C. A. Redd, Mayor Mcllhcnny,
E. Ix. Wells, and L. E. O’Keefe.
To this committee was referred the mat
ter of making an effort to bring the
through freights to Columbus.
Mayor Mcllhcnny said he felt an inter
est in the trade of the city; was much
pleased at this organization. He felt bet
ter to-night. A little more enterprise was
needed; men must seek for trade; effort
was the great secret of success in all
things. ALI our present enterprises are
the result of effort and energy. It was
mortifying to see men from Atlanta
drumming for trade all around Columbus.
We may sneer at Atlanta and call its
trade baseless, but it is fast becoming
the most solid city in tho State.
This body can influence legislation very
much. It carried with it a great weight
and importance.
A delegation was sent to Washington,
which accomplished much good easily.
The effort was all that was necessary. We
havo never used our influence fully with
railroads. Individual effort is not worth
much. An individual must represent some
corporation or body. No body has more
influence than the Chamber of Commerce.
It ought to be kept up. It has done much
>good, and will do much more. He was
glad to hear of the Improving condition of
the country.
Tho money of tho country must be got
ten out of the vaults and be used in trade
before the true prosperity of the country
can Ix3 materially advanced. The Cham
ber can do much to help forward progress.
On motion the Board adjourned.

j I tike pleasure in suiting that I have used
I for the last twenty years the medicine you
: are putting up, known as Dr. Brvutfield'h
Female Regulator, and consider it the
best combination ever gotten together fur
the diseases for which it is recommended.
I have been familiar with the preparation
both as a practitioner of medicine and in
domestic practice, and can honestly say
that I consider it a boOR to suffering fe
males, and can but hope that every lady
in our land, who may be suffering in any
way peculiar to their sex, may be able to
procure a bottle, and their sufferings may
not only be relieved, but that they may be
restored to health and strength.
With my kindest regards.
I am. respectfully,
