blind folly, in cutting away the forests.
They will be repeated every year, and
more and more destructive, until, like Kan.

Allegheny and Monongahela to Cairo, be-
gin to plant trees. On the first of June,
1869, the first Virginian that travelled from
San Francisco to New York, the 800 or
more miles of North Platte hadn't a bush

1t was singular coincidence that the flood

of being exactly 100 years apart. Listen.
David Hanna, genial. warm-healted,
generous Irishman, a bachelor, some living
remember, was welcome guest around the
hearth stone Of the best people on Middle
River half century ago. He was at Mr..
Samuel Lesle's one night, when Mrs. Les
lie "a Stewart, we believe) said to him:
''Mr. Hanna, wish you to tell me when
my father died." '.Sure, Betsy, an I can
tell you when be died; it was during the
great food Of 1910, and in the month of
May, and you was born in November be.
FORE" MI. Hanna died under Maj. VIM.
Poague's roof fifty years ago. He made
his home long time in the family of John
Stuart, ON the Humbert-mill property, and
was weaver. John Stuart was a cousin
of the grandfather of Messrs. 4. II. II.

Mr.. Frank Stuart, one of the same fam

fifty years, in Messy Creek congregation,
as was their younger brother, Maj. Eugene
IRVINE, Of Rocky Spring, and son-in law Of
it's Pastor, Rev. John Montgomery. Mrs.
Samuel Henry and Mrs. Samuel Craig, the
first near Craigsville, were sisters of Mrs.
IRVINE. We are of the impression that
Mrs. DIR. Peachy Harrison, Of Harrison
burg, Va, mother of Prof. Gesner Harri-

husband was for third of century a

DESTRUCTIVE CYCLONE IN THE SOUTH
On lest Tuesday destructive cyclone
passed over some half dozen Southern
States inflicting much loss Of life and prop
erty. The Baltimore Sun says that 1.-The
latest accounts of the Southern cyclone In
dictate that it was much more destructive
than it was first reported to be. The area
of its violence was unusually wide, covering
half dozen States. At Darlington, South
Carolina, four persons were killed and fifty.
houses blown down. At Palmetto, Geor-
gia, the storm ragged with remarkable fury
at intervals of two hours, beginning at +.
NJ. on Wednesday. Accompa lying the
wind were hail-stones as large as partridge
eggs, and torrents of rain that swept away
fences, houses and the very soil. Near
Lincolnton two children were killed and
thirteen adults were injured, some fatally.
AT plantation not far distant several men
were killed. In Oconee county many lives
we're lost. In Harris county the hail-stones
| were as large as goose eggs, and in Bald
win the hail is said to have fallen to a depth
Of two feet. At Grassy Knob, in the same
Site, twenty persons are reported killed
by the cyclone. Many houses were wreck
ed at Vicksburg, Mississippi, and several
steamers sunk, the wind there attaining q
velocity of SO miles an hour. 1t IS from
North Carolina, however, that the greatest
destruction of life and property is reported
Entering the State at Arson county the
storm moved cast destroying everything

persons were killed and eighteen wounded
some of whom will die. Such was TIL
force of the wind that after tearing to pieces

it xii led several persons in Lilesvilfe, sii
near Ellington, in Harnett county, and On
