LAST Wednesday was day of storms.
A cyclone traVersed the State from
west to east extending over Washing
ton, Sharkey, Lehore, Carroll, Attala,
Neshoba, Kemper, Lluderdsle and
Clarke counties, and passing into
Alabama, through Sumter county.
TornAdOes brsnched of in all direc.
tions from the storm center, cau.ing
great destruction In various localities,
but so far as we have heard, compare.
lively little loss Of life. Ofits last ap-
pearance in this State, the Enterprise
Clarke county,) Courier, gives the fol.
lowing account:
The cyclone came from a south.
westerly direction aud its course
was towards the northeast, aud
Il seems to have formed, aud gained its
force but O short distance from lhis
place. 1t passed about two miles west
Of here and almost Immediately iu the
old track where within the memory Of
some OF our older citizens, two other
similar storms have spent their fury.
1t struck Mr.. e. w. HOldens place,
completely demolishlng buildings and
fences. Mr.. Holden and his family
had just started into the dining.room
to dinner and were in the hall, when
In an instant the storm burst upon
them, and 90 quickly had II done lls
work that they hardly knew what had
happened. All the upper portion Of
bis house was blown away and the
house completely stripped of its con.
tents. The kitchen, in which were Mr..
Holden's little son and q negro man
was leveled and large tree fell upon
It, but, singular 10 relate, neither the
boy or the negro received any serious
Injuries, while two dogs, less than ten
feet distant from them, were killed
outright. Mr.. Holden's vineyard and
orchard were destroyed, the vines and
lrees In some instances being carried
miles away. Mr.. S. 7. Cross house
was the next scene Of destruction, be-
ing served even worse II possible than
Mr. Holden's. A part of Mrs. Ed.
wsFd's residence was also blown away.
The storm then went In the direction
OF Mr.. Baldwin's but luckily skipped
over his residence, the only damage be-.
ing the blowing down of one or two
small outhouseS and some fencing. II
greatly damaged Messrs. Smith and
Red, who are running q saw mill on
the railroad about five miles above
here, blowing down several houses aud
destroying 9 great deal of timber.
