five houses were blown almost from
| the face OF the earth and scarcely a
shingle left to tell the tale. They
were all frame shanties. lightly put
up, and were only sport for the
wild wind. When the CHRONICLE
reporter. in company with another
representative OF the city press,
visited the scene of the disaster
Wednesday it presented Ireary
aspect indeed. Two little negro
girls were standing where a house
had formerly been, looking cold
and lonesome. We asked the old
est if there was boy anywhere in
the vicinity who would hold our
horse a short while. She looked
vacantly over the deserted field and
replied i'm sad tone:
INC, sir. Henry and dem's
house is all blowed away, and
don't know whar dey's gone"
Down the hill negro man was
literally fishing his house out of a
pond, piece by piece. The house
had stood on the hill above and the |
wind carried shingles, roof and
everything into the water.
The houses destroyed in this To-
cality belonged to Sam Allen, ].
w. Page, Wade Cooper and Alfred
Boyd, all colored, and Mr.. Isaac
Atkins. The two last mentioned
were not occupied, and Pages wife
went to a neighbours house before
the storm came up and thus escaped
injury. Why Cooper, Wade Coop
er's wife, and little girl named
Jennie McGhee, were in his house.
The child escaped with slight in
juries, but the woman was very
seriously hurt. She had both of
her legs broken below the knees.
A large splinter was run into her
right calf. and her legs were other
wise bruised and lacerated. She
was blown some distance from
where the house stood and had to
lay there some time before enough
men could be found to remove her.
The occupants of Sam Aliens house
injury as if by a miracle.
Sam was absent from home but his
wife and five children were all in
the house when it was blown over.
The destruction was complete. The
building was RACED to the ground
and planks, shingles and bricks
scattered far and wide. The woman
must have been scared out of her
senses, as she was in no way hurt.
and says the first thing she remen-
bers after the storm came she found
herself lying on a portion of the
roof, some distance from where the
house stood, and her children were
up from different directions ;
crying. None of them were hurt.
This is about all the damage that +,
was done in GAINESVILLE by the first
storm, except that numerous fences
and trees were blown down. I
The network of telephone wires
stretched across the square, were all
broken and the wind mill at Ever
green Lodge had its wings consider ,
ably twisted. {
