ROCKINGHAM, n. c., Feb. 20, 1884.
Last Tuesday night about bed time,
a fearful cyclone passed within one
mile Of this place, destroying thirty
eight dwellings, and killing eight
whites and twelve or fifteen negroes,
whose bodies were carried to the Court
House, to be identified. At least sew
entv persons are wounded. The storm
came on with such sudden fury that it
was impossible for any one to escape
from their houses. Bodies have been
found beneath the ruins, and mother
clasping her babe to her breast were
fund dead. La"ge trees were up
rooted, and two mill stones were
moved fifty yards. The wind blew so
hard it entirely divested the fowles Of
their feathers This sounds "fishy''
but its an actual fact.
Every thing that can be, has been
done by the people, whose deepest
sympathies have been touched by this
sad and terrible affiiction. Almost
equally as distressing accounts have
been received here from Lilesville,
Polkton, and Beaver Dam.

From the Raleigh Visitor.

A CORE spondent, writing from
Durham, says that he overheard a
conversation Wednesday morning in
which prominent citizen said "if he
had 80 acres of a certain piece of land
he would put up a cotton factory an
build 40 dwelling houses on the land;
and that if he didn't spend $4,000
on the ground he would give the deed
back" He further said that 250 girls
would be employed, and that the mill
would be one of the largest in the
State. Our correspondence says that
a company was formed Tuesday com
posed of some of the best business men
of Durham, and that cotton factory
for that thriving town is an assured
fact

ITS RAvAGEs IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY

ITS RAVAGES IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY.
From the Charlotte Observer.
Mr.. Neil McKoy, of Troy, left home
on the morning of the 18th, to visit
Stanly county, but on arriving at
Kinks ferry, found that he could not
cross ON account of the high waters
He tarried until evening, but the
waters still being too high to cross,
he repaired to the house of Willis
Dennis, where he stopped for the
night. About nine o'clock, a fright
ful roaring sound was heard coming
and before the alarmed people could
conjecture its meaning the timbers of
the house were falling about their
heads The residence, barn, corn crib,
smoke-house and kitchen, were COM
pletely demolished, not SO much as a
piece Of timber being left in the
place. Mattresses, blankets, sheets,
clothing, articles of furniture, corn
wheat and bacon We're scattered for
half mile in the course of the storm
Mr.. Mckoy's buggy was hurled four
hundred yards and broken to pieces.
His trunk was crushed and its con-
tencs were scattered beyond reach.
His horse was fatally injured. Mr..
Dennis horses disappeared in the
storm and have not since been seen.
In the morning it was seen that the
residence and all the outbuildings at
the point which the cries of distress
had been heard, had disappeared and
there was no sign Of life about the
place.
The storm continued on its course
directly up the river, laying low ev-
cry house in its track. Silas Kerns'
house was unroofed and stables de-
molished. Wiley Harris house was
destroyed. EIzevan Sanders lost his
new residence, store, kitchen and gin
house. John Morris house was level
ed to the ground. Ed. Mullinix s
house was blown down and burned.
Mary Hurley's house was destroyed
being burnt after it was wrecked
Wilson Davis house was blown down
and burned. Richard Dennis house
was carried away Hansels Beaman's
house was completely wrecked. Aunt
Polly Crawford's house was unroofed

The road from Greensboro to Winston
is about 30 miles through fertile
country that is rich and productive
and | should imagine that for miles
around, in every direction, from the
Twin City man could till the soil
to as good advantage to himself as i'll
any section of the State, on account of
the way the land varies. One can Sc

is not all swamp, and that has all the
advantages sloping i'll so many differ

etables, orchards and vineyards and
the very best land for tobacco. Sur

We came into the city on the noon

sash and blinds, and all the way to the
hotel, there are good and comfortable

Arriving at the hotel [ was ushered

one corner and told to make myself
comfortable, and he must be heath
ern who could not feel at home in
such place, although it is ancient
and 50 different from ordinary hotels
that it possesses charm which is not
found anywhere else. The dining
hall seems to set by itself in n court
yard and is just the same as going out
doors to meals, having wide plaza
on all sides and the cooking seems to
be done in some other department leav-
ing nothing but the pure fresh air to
breathe while you are enjoying the
| luxuries and substantials included in
the cuisincc department. After din
ncr | visited some of your fine tobac-
co warehouses and seeing whole floors
filled with boxes of tobacco came to
the conclusion that that was quite Il
considerable item in the prosperity Of
the place and the prospect in the near
future seems to be very encouraging
for those interested in that business
in regard to the residences, they are
located in such a way that you car
see all over the place, sitting at the
windows; particularly those on the
high gronnd and ridges, each one be
ing elevated above the other t. thai
extent you can see the surrounding.
and the effect is pleasing to the eye
In going into new place a pers or
wants to associate himself with the
people and be one of them. In al
things, become familiar with thei
ways, and act in accordance with hi:
own best interests and there is IL
reason why he should not prosper anc
Hurish with the best, where the people
seem to be as cordial and willing tt
help as do those Of the Twin City
with its fine schools and good church
es, there we find the element that i
conductive to prosperity in all It's

The table will be supplied with all the
delicacics Of the season, and none but the
most experienced cooks are employed in
