M. R z Pittagd, living near Winter
vile, Geergia, is reported as follows by the
Athens Banner concerning the recent
cyclone there. He was out some distance
from his house picking cotton, and when
it began to rain he, with his hands, went
to shelter under an old shed in the high
est part of the field In this position he
was enabled to get the best view possible
of one of the erandest and most fr1ghtful
scenes that ever fell to his lot, and one
which he does not want to see again. he
snys that he had read OF cyclones great
deal. and was enabled to tell that TINS one
was coming when he heard the hrst NOISE
etood From where he stood he could
see two miles in the direction from
whence the storm came, and one
mile in the direction in which it went.
When he first saw it there seemed to be a
GREAT funueLshaped cloud, with the small
end blowing along the earth and revolving
with great velocity, as 1t moved toward
him. 1t made noise, at first, like heavy
coaI-burning locomotive, as it passes on the
railroad track, and this noise increased the
nearer it came till it was the most deafen-
ing sound he ever heard. He says that the
noise at Gettysburg was not circumstance
to this, and when it struck the heavy tim
Der in its track he verify believes it would
have drowned the roar of Niagara Falls
MIR. Pittard said it seemed to him that it
was full hour in passing, though it could
hardly have been more than two or three
minutes He thinks it was going at the
rate of sixty miles an hour. estood trans

tremor of the earth beneath him, while the

No Danger of IA western Potato Famine.
The potato supply" says the Chicago
Tribune OF Friday, lis and has been for sew
erll weeks little more than sufficient to
meet thewants OF city consumption, and it
is argued from this tn; the receipts must
continue to be light, and prices advance to
to a very high figure. This summer, as in
previous years, most of the potatoes used
in this city between the 18th day of July
and the 10Th OF October have been supplied
by the nearby country farmers, who
have been and are able to undersell COM
petitors who have freight bills to pay
on the produce they may send forward.
These same potatoes of the early kind,
grown within wagon-freighting distance of
the city, are being daily received, and form
the bulk of the regular supply. None of
the late potatoes have yet made their ap-
pearance, and reports from the north, west
and east of us indicate that there will be a
fair crop. Thus, while the stock in our i'm
mediate vicinity viii soon be exhausted,
there is little danger OF potato famine
though prices are likely to run higher dur
ing the winter"

Mrs MARY A. LTvERMoRE was anxious
for q seat in the late Massachusetts Repub-
lican Convention, and held that she was
entitled to one, having been duly elected
rs a delegate from the town OF 0Ielrose.
There was considerable opposition to her
admission, and she was urged to take a
seat as a spectator in the gallery until her
claim had been decided. This she refused
to do. She was finally admitted, not
until after member of the Central
Committee-understoo to be young
representative of the Hoar family-asked
whether a trained monkey would be adj
mitted in case he should be delegated.
For this impertinence he is duly repre-
handed in the IFoman's Journal by Lucy
Stone, who is also of the opinion that the
references to the emancipation of women

p.oper level, though they do sanction wo-
man suffrage in school matters, and are

\ touching incident was that OF beau,

morning when the fatal news spread sharr
and quick from house to house, and lip to

do, taking it all in, and noticing the out,
burst of grief on every hand, turned awav

A gentleman OF this city has in his pos

uary a. 1900, which contains full descrip-
ton of the funeral services OF President
Washington. As an interesting contrast
to the scenes OF yesterday, the account is
taken from its news c, INNS.
GEORGETOWN, December 2O.-On Wed,
nesdav the mortal part of Washington the
great, the father of his country and the
friend of man, was consigned to the tomE
with solemn honors and funeral pomp.
A multitude of persons assembled from
miles around, at Mt. Vernon, the choice
abode and last residence of the illustrious
chief There were the groves-the spaci-
Gus avenues, the beautiful and sublime
scenes, the noble mansion-but, alas! the
august inhabitant was no more. His NOR
tai part was there, indeed; but ah. how
affecting. how awful the spectacle OF such
worth and greatness, thus, to mortal eyes,
fallen, Yes fallen! fallenl
IN the long and lofty portlco, where ont
the hero walked in all his glory, now lay
the shrouded corpse. The countenance,
still composed and serene, seemed to eS-
press the dignity OF the spirit which lately
dwell in that Lfeless form Then those
who paid the last sad honors to the bene-
facror of his country, took an impressive,
farewell, view.

of the Potomac, where the family vault Is
placed, the cavalry halted, the infantry

their lines; the clergy, the Masonic brothers
and the citizens descended to the vault

performed The firing was repeated from

which lined the banks of the Potomac,

The sun was now setting. Alasl The

name of Washington-the American Gen
eraI and President-shalI triumph over
death. The unclouded brightness of his
glory will illuminate the future ages.
In the editorial columns is found part
of the ringing address delivered by Wash
ington's successor, of which the following
is part: The life of our Washington cam
not suffer by Il comparison with those OF
other countries who have been most cele-
brated and exalted by fame. The attrib-
utes and decorations of royalty could only
have served to eclipse the majesty of those
virtues which made him, from being a
modest citizen, more respondent lumi-
nary. Malice could never blast his honor,
and envy made him a singular exception
to her rule. For himself, he had lived
enough to life and toglory. For his fellow
citizens, If their prayers could have been
answered, he would have been immortal.
IT is reported that the discouraged land
owners in the burnt district of Michigan
are falling an easy prey to spectators, who,
with cash in their hands, find little diff
Guilty in making purchases at low prices.
The Detroit Post and Tribune urges land
owners to hold on to their property, rely
ing upon the generosity of the country for
their immediate necessities. They are re-
minded that the land, which in their de
spair they are now ready to sell and turn
their backs upon, will be very valuable in
the near future. ''The whole region is
within easy approach OF good markets.
1t will soon recover from the effects of the
disaster which visited it. 1t will then be
one of the most desirable farming districts
in the State. The purchasers understand
this thoroughly and they buy knowing
that they will at an early day make from
| 100 to 500 per cent on their purchases
But if these purchasers can make profit by
bulling, so can the present owners make
profit by holding on. They cannot with
the money they receive for their property
buy as good lands or as desirably located
| anywhere else in this country And this
Is point which every landowner in the
district should consider when he is ap-
preached with proposition to sell. He
now owns tract OF land. He is offered q
price for it VIII that price buy as good a
tract of land of the same number of acres
anywhere else2 If it will not, the propo-
sition should be promptly rejected"
