DGa0son Journal
After assiduous inquiry, however, we
have been enabled TO gather the following
facts, which may be considered as entirely
reliable: The storm of wind accompanied
by incessant flashes ofHghtning, and roar
ing noise, that was almost death-like to
hear, proceeded from a southwest direction,
keeping parallel with the Southwestern Rail
road and going In a northeast course. Its first
point OF contact with the earth was in the
vicinity of Mr.. M. L. Harps. Here, we
understand, it piled the trees in immense
heaps for hundreds of yards around in all
directions, leaving nothing in its wake
but utter devastation and destruc-
tion. In its desthly march it next
swooped down with deadly effect
upon the farm of Mr.. Calvin Watson,
about three miles north of Dawson.
Here, every house, building and tree on Mr..
Watson's farm seemed to have been blown
down. His dwelling was leveled to the
ground. Mr.. Watson and his aged mother
both were severely and dangerously wound
ed. Next in the track OF the terrible
cyclone lay the wreck of Campbell 81 Liv-
ingstone's mill. The shed over the mill
and several houses here were blown down.
A little further on all the out buildings on
Mr.. Wright Kenidy's place were blown down.
AT Mr.. John McCarthy's not single house
was left standing. The family residence
was rszed literally to the earth, Mr.. Nc
CarthY himself being very painfully and Sc
riously wounded. Also Miss Sue Tolbot, Mr..
McCsrtby's wife's sister, was dangerously If
not mortally wounded. She was blown fall
sixty yards by the storm, and when found
was in water up to her shoulders. At MIR.
McCarthy's there was also a negro killed.
In the house were two trunks, one contain
ing S400 in gold, the other $780, Both of
these trui ks were literally blown away, not
vestige OF either nor the money being
found. At Mr.. A. j. Kenney's place every
house was blown down except the dwell
ing. Further on, at Mr o N. Grcise's mill,
every single house was blown down. At this
point, four persons were killt d, Mrs. B. F
Powell, Mr.. John Msrlin's little son, and
two negroes. Mr.. B. F. Powell and one Of
his children were also badly hurt; also a
Mr.. Geisa had very fine mule killed and
several wounded. On the Barlow place sew
eral houses were blown down ard one negro
killed.
