fkAkFrL ST0RN, AND DREADFUL CALAMITY
Aoonto O'Clock Tuesday morning, one of the most
fearful tornadOes that swept over the County,
came up suddenly from the northwest, covering a
track of but few miles in width, and lasting but
lew minutes The path of the whirlwind extended
but a few miles north and south of Troy-the worst
OF 1t seeming to be two three miles south of town
where the heavy rain was accompanied by hail
Trees were snapped of, fences blown away and corn
Frustrated, and the blades torn to ribbons
But the most terrible casualty of the storm befel
the family of Mr. Clement Pope, about four miles
southwest of Troy, near East Norway. The house
was new, and set ON underpinning, and the space
underneath was open. 1t stood in the track Of the
hercest OF the whrlwind, and lifted up, turned
completely upside down, striking on the comb of the
roof and splitting it open, when the wind blew and
scattered it into fragments, portions of it being
carried several hundred yards away. Mr.. Pope and
his wife and three children one of the rooms
while the oldest son, Glenn, aged years. had Just
come in from feeding the horses and was in another
room- Mr.. Pope was somewhat bruised, Mrs. Pope
badly hurt in the back and the three children more
or less hurt Upon recovering himself Mr.. Pope
made search for Glenn, and soon discovered him
lying some feet from where the building stood. He
had been struck by of the timbers and the top
of his head crushed of The top of the skull was
found twenty feet more from the body the brains
scattered around and his face was crushed fiat 1t
was a terrible sight.
Everything in the house-furniturc. bedding, dish
es, stove, clothing, etc.-was demolished, leaving
nothing fit for Besides the calamity of the
death of their Oldest child and their own severe
bruises Mr. and Mrs. Pope left utterly destitute
Mrs. Popes injuries are supposed to be very severe
but have not yet been fully ascertnne owing to her

IL good story is told of one of the two eolored
men of Highland who inveigled into the Green
back party. He was appointed delegate to the
Emporia Convention, which so elated him that he
was bound to go or bust. He had not the money,
but he had nice team of ponies, upon which he gave
chattel mortgage to raise the wherewith. He re-
turned home satiated with Grcenback Conventions,
and with poor outlook for redcemng his team. His
coored brethren, to help him out, got up festival
for his benefit, but it proved Improbable. His team
is gone, and the honor is stale. That's what the
Grcenback movement has done for him. But it is
about all that it does for any of them.
