! and undoubtedly many others. They were
all farm houses in an old settled county, many
of them fine residences.
Al Qnenemo the Presbyterian church was
destroyed, and one other building. OF the
| buildings enumerated, the majority were
| upon the opposite road, leading from the west
into Quenemo. The people were absent at
tending Sunday-schools, which undoubtedly
prevented a terrible loss of life.
A large number of people were badly hurt.
| Citizens in the buildings uninjured turned
out, and all were comfortably cared for.

be safely estimated. For fifteen miles of the
most densely settled and best part of Usage
county the cyclone cut swath of desolation
and death. Entire farms are stripped of
their buildings, together with cattle and
much of the vegetation. At one place only a
piece Of tire foot long aud hub was left
of wagon.
