THE STORM IN TOWNSVILLE
Several Buildings Blown Down
Damsge to Fencing. Trees, E.c.

TOWNSVILLE, GA, September 10.-EditOr
Morning NelOs: The weather prophets guessed
very we'll when they said the cyclone playing
around Cuba few days ago would arrive il
this part of the world on the 9th. 1t began tc
arrive in Thomasville Yesterday Saturday
morning. promptly on time. and there was
good deal OF it when il all arrived Slight rain
began here Friday evening, increased with the
heavy thunder, and late in the evening things
began to look decidedly SQudlIy.
The wind commenced in the northeast, Veer.
ed around to the east by night, and to the
southeast after dark, when it blew with great
force from 9 o'clock p. m. to s O'Clock a. M,
when it shifted to the south, and soon after
moderated. The night was one of horror 10
many households but l have heard Of no loss
of life in the neighborhood.
In my own house there was little sleep dur
ing the night, and that only toward the morn
ing. About ten O'Clock my family and
retired, were startled by the crash of a large
China tree against the eastern end Of the
house, threatening to crush in the windows
and tumble down large brick chimney, but
which finally tore away the lightning rod and
fell in another direction. by change of the
wind, without further damage save to val
liable Towering plants in the vicinity. Fol
greater safety, the ladies were now assembled
in neat room OF the lower story of the house,
aud soon had their fears further increased
by a large oak on the south side of the house
which now fell and blocked up the entrance
on that side. This was quickly followed By
several other large china trees. one against
the bay window on the south and one against
the dining room door on the west side Of the
building. But there were no more trees in
reach, and, though they fell thick in the neigh
borhood and the house was shaken to its foun-
dation about every ten or fifteen minutes,
there was a revival of hope that the household
would survive the storm. No damage
wasW done to the house, not
pane Of glass broken, but a garden of shrub
berry is badly tangled, many valuable shade
trees PROSTATE, with large proportion of the
fencing on the premises. To-day Sunday has
been busy day v ith your correspondent, as
tomorrow must be, in order to protect the
field and garden against the cattle.
AS soon as could leave matters at home,
walked out among the Eeighbors, to find
a similar state of affairs at nearly every house,
fences and shade trees nearly all blown down.
with several buildings of note in the town. The
newly constructed cotton warehouse of K. T.

Breadstuf1fs in Britain.

LONDON, September 1.-THE Mark Lane
Express, 10 its review of the grain trade dur
ing the past week, says: alt Is probable
that great damage to the wheat crop has
been caused hitherto by the weather. It
may be fately assumed, however, that the
wheat will be discolored. The markets
continue to decline, the condition
Of new wheat being such as to
compel quick sales. Prices declined about
35. New -four is also cheaper. Mailing
barleys are firm. The grinding sorts are
cheaper. OATS, beans and peas are un-
changed. Foreign wheats in London
are completely demorslized, and only
retail sales are made. The mar
ket is beginning to get
glutted for all positions, the gransrY stocks
being very heavy at ports of discharge.
The arrivals during the week have been
very liberal. The cargo trade is rather
surfeited with the supply. Buyers are
awaiting lower rates. Twenty-six fresh
wheat cargoes arrived. There were sixteen
sales. Twenty were Withdrawn and re-
moved, iI Guiding ten of red winter. The
sales # English wheat during the past
week were IL, ,243 quarters at ASS. 9i., against
80, ,369 quarters at 54s. 81. during the same
time last year"

DiVulging a TrOtting Secret-LadY
Thorne's Mysterious Mile.
Nel0 K0rb SPIRIT of The Tgme1,

we presume our readers have all heard
OF the very private trial in the year 1870.
when Mace drove Lady Thorne ghostlv
mile IN the gray of the morning. and
only two others, John L. Doty and VIM.
Saunders, timed the mare. In regard to
this trial her driver said: II never saw
Lady Thorne trot full mile at her best
but once, and there are two other men
living besides myself who can tell how
fast that was, but shall never tell. and
it is probable that they will not. 1t was
so fast that it would not be credited by
the public, and so we agreed that we
would never mention the time. But will
say this much: II was faster gait for the
whole mile than ever saw kept I'D 5y snV
other horse for single quarter" For a
round dozen of years did Dan Mace nam.
taln his determination TO never tell, +" but
In an ungarded moment, a short time
ago, out popped the secret. On the Oc.
casion to which we refer Dan had be-
come much interested in conversation
with a gentleman about that year, 1870,
when Lady Thorne was to meet Gold
smith Maid at Buffalo. She had beaten
the Maid whenever they had contended
on Eastern tracks, but the party of the
AN'-S NoJ AuoiO WC4C Quibc COuuUCQb OF a
victory at Buffalo. Dan, after the trial.
referred to, felt abundant confidence
himself, and he related, on this present
occasion. how he met Mr.. Smith. the
owner of the Maid, and told him he
would beat her.
But" said Mr.. Smith, eve can frot
three heats better than 30"
80 can l, said Dan.
In fv<~A al
2:1S." ''N' '-'"N
80 can I, said Dan.
We can trot three heats in 2:16."
$50 can /" said Dan.
The gentleman to whom Mace related
the foregoing conversation casually ask.
ed, why, Dan, how fast did you ever
drive Thorne ?"
Dan impulsively replied: "I drove her
mile just as fast as a mile was ever
los" -''''- -
The secret of a decade was now more
fully out. Lady Thorne trotted a trial
in 1870 in 2:104. last half in 1 :O5, timed
by two Of the most experienced men on
the turf, both still in the flesh, ), and driven
by man who now lacks only two years

HUBBELLIsSI is NOT REPUBLICANIsM.
What does Mr.. Hubbell mean by say
ing that party success cannot be expect
ed unless the Office holders will furnish
the money! There was time when the
Republican party succeeded, without an
Office holder to assess, in carrying the
election against a party which had all
the offices and assessed all the office
holders. TIE doctrine then was that the
people as we'll as the Office holders were
interested in Republican success. If that
be changed, If, as Mr.. Hubbell suggests,
it is the Office holders who are now
mainly interested in that success, why
should the country help to keep them in
place? On the contrary, why should not
the country feel it to be duty to put out
of Office those who raise an enormous
fund to keep themselves in? An enor-
nous election fund justly alarms every
honest voter, because It is not necessary
and means a dishonest election. Mr..
Hubbell's circular substantially an.
nounces that the Republican party de-
pends for success not upon its princi-
pies but upon its purse. If this were
true, it would be the most conclusive
possible argument against that party,
and show that every intelligent and
patriotic voter should oppose it. But it
is not true. Mr. Hubbell does not mean
what he virtually says. He means only
that if the messenger boy or the clerk
does not promptly pay up be will proba-
blv lose his place. .-HaTper's Weekly.

Cotton aud Grain shipments
Boston Adrertiser


The announcement that the foreign
exchange market in New York is well
supplied with Gotten bills, while grain
bills are comparatively scarce, is highly
interesting. 1t shows that our gram
farmers are slow in offering their goods,
while the cotton planters are in con-
siderable haste. And this very haste will
have tendency to depress prices, for
when we offer cotton urgently our Eng
lish friends will at once reduce their
offers of money. The condition of the
exchange market shows also that our
farmers are comparatively rich and in.
dependent, while the cotton producers
are relatively poor and needy. Whether
our farmers will win in the end, is by no
means certain; while it is fairly clear
that the cotton planters would win, were
they in a position to sell their staple when
it suits them best The idea that the
world is not willing to take our whole
surplus of cotton, grain and provisions is
wholly mistaken, and the condition of
Egypt alone is such as to make a market
for two of our products-coston and
grain.
