DESTRUCTIVE STORMS.

CHICAGO. May 24th.-About six o.
clock last evening tornado struck a
settlement about three miles from Bar
rington. Chicago suburb. and desola.
ted the country for radius of about
two miles. The farm house OF WIN.
Brunes was completely demolished, Mrs.
Brunes instantly killed. and two young
children carried through the air by the
whirlwind and hurled dead to the ground
distance of twenty rods away. A la
borer was lifted from his feet and on
striking terra firma his legs were broken
by the shock.
The same storm or another visited
on the same night Madison, Wiscon-
sin, and was accompanied by the
remarkable phenomenon of rain of
sticks, stones, boards and twigs of va
rious sizes, and large hail. The cyclone
came from the southwest. probably from
Mineral Point. Between Mt. Vernon
and Oregon it was specially severe, and
fifteen to twenty barnes are reported
destroyed. A Norwegian living near
Mt. Vernon narrowly escaped death, and
his father.in-law, Narve Bergt, and broth
er, lIerbard Bergt, were killed instant
~, while his mother.ia-law was serious
,!y injured by the destruction of their
dwelling. O. b. DAILY, wealthy mer-
chant of Mt. Vernon, was also killed. A
number Of prairie fires started during
the evening. a ol,ort from Oregon,
Wis, says many houses were torn down
near Paoli and three or four persons
killed Great destruction OF property
and loss Of life und Jubtedly resulted
from the storms.
LATER
The tornado which passed over Mad,
ison last night proves TO have been more
destructive than was thought The
storm came from The direction Of South.
west, passing through section of the
State where no telegraphie commun.
cations are established, hence details of
the great destruction and loss of life are
meagrc. Enough has been received,
however, to show the devastation and
sacrifice OF property and life has been
appalling,
About Primerosc, % miles sout Invest
of this city, and from there through
Mount Vernon to Paoli, the storm seems
TO have done wide spread damage.
From twenty fvo TO thirty barns and
farm -houses were blown down. some
of them utterly destroyed and the de.
bris carried Off before the mighty ava
lanche Of Wholesome of it falling -
and - miles away, one shutter OF
house falling in Lake Mendoza, near
this city Some II or IS persons are
known to be killed and large number
seriously injured.
Large numbers of people are visiting
the scene Of the-recent tornado, near
Madison, Wis. The roads are damned
with teams containing visitors from all
parts OF the country viewing the dcyas-
tations Of the storm. The value of the
property destroyed, it is now estimated
will reach into millions. Fifty people
have been killed and from 200 TO $50
injured seriously, while scores are left
homeless.

Thinking your paper has 4 large circuIa-
ton and some Of It's many readers perhaps
would like to see or know something from
this part OF the world, l viii drop YOU a
few lines. am receiving the Eulletll
weekly it Is most cioice paper with me;
its like meeting an old friend from uarac-
man once a week.
Wei, now I'll tell you about this portion
of Arkansas. Most OF this county prairie
lies west OF White river, and about ninety
miles west OF Memphis. The Memphis &
Little Rock Railroad runs through this
county several miles, running through Grand
Prairie This prairie l. rapidly settling up
with enligrants from Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Ohio and other S.ates,vith few from Can
ada, while the timbercd portion Of the county
is being settled by people from Tennessee,
Alaba ma, Georgia, Mississippi, Kentucky
and North Carolina, with returning Tc1gs
emigrant occasionally The lands here
are generally level or nearly so, and yield
from eight hundred to -onc baie Of cotton
per acre. and from thirty to forty bushels
of corn per acre, AMI from twelve totwcn,y
bushels OF wheat OF an average year, fbut
wheat Is thought will be under an average
this season. Garden truck does fine here
Early Irish potatoes have been in for tive
or three wees.
Prairie county is like IEard,man; Is
very well supplied with candidates, each
one pressing his claims when an opportuni-
ty Is afforded. Ne are very sorry TO see in
the Bulletin the announcement Of Cullen
and Ralph as candidates for the same Office,
the reason why we were sorry j. this: yc
always dislikcd for two OF our very warm
friends to ask two iavors when only one
could be granted.
For fear some home hunter will think
/ that land is very costly here, 1 VIII give IN
this little epistlc the price Of land here:
Land near the railroad Is worth, unimproy-
/ ed, from six to ten dollars per acre; land
/ five to ten miles OF a railroad Is worth from
one to five dollars per acre, owing TO quail
ity Of Improvement. Stock range here Is
/ excellent.

The Bolivar bulletin. [volume] (Bolivar, Hardeman County, Tenn.) 1865-1888, 1878-05-09
From Twelfth District.
MAY 4TiI 1873.

MAY 4Tu 1873.
MEssRs. EDIToEs:
Having seen nothing in the Bulletin from
this district since April the 4Jh, fear that
wide Awake has gone to. ylcep,and we are
hopelessly left without amy one to report to
the Bulletin the matters of Importance
which are daily occurring in our midst; cs-
pecially the good roads, wounds, cuts.
bruises, etc" I therefore conclude to sum
mons all the courag, which possess and
try to write my first article for the press.
It seems from Wide Awake's" communi-
cation, that OH Friday night next proceed
ing the 25th of March some one received
severe wound with a knife" at Il party in
the twelfth district This is new 10 me, and
all with whom I have talked about it.
Never heard OF it before About that time
such 4 thing did occur in another part Of
the country. Ipresume he had reference to
that Ifso, I would modestly asl, him 30
to state ii, and not mike the citizens OF this
district the "scape goats for other peoples
sins We are guilty of as much as we can
bear, without any more. He states that we
have not had 4 good road until now for 90,
these many years" We would modcstly
ask him, how he knows.
Farmers are making SLOW progress with
work now, ON account Of the recent heavy
rains. Some who had planted early on bot
tom lands viii have part OF their crops TO
plant over. Notwithstanding the early
start they viii be late getting done planting.
More corn IS being planted this spring than
was last-a good omen Of better times.
Wheat has the rust and We predict short
crop. We have more oats sown this year
than Tor several years past, and they are
looking fine. IN this immediate vicinity
We have plenty Of hogs. The prospects for
mast is very good. So with a good crop Of
corn We viii live at home next year, bid
adicu to northern smoke-houscS and eat our
own hog and hominy.
We have not been troubled with candi-
dates yet. Suppose they are electionccring
with each other till Irish potatoes and snap
beans come in, and then-wcll early chick
ems, in fact 4 good time generally.
We are not troubled as much about the
State debt As they are in some other parts of
the county. Believing the time honored
maxim thai charity begins at home" We
are trying TO pay our individual debts first
Education Is badly neglected in this com
muniiy; there being only one small school
in the district as far as my knowledge cx-
tends. We need more unity and better
school law. BACEwoOTs.
