The lower portion OF Burke county was
visited by a terrible wind storm a few days
ago. A gentleman and friend were at
Mr.. Bracks place when they saw a heavy
/ Dlack cloud approaching very rapidly.
They also noticed huge, funnel-shaped
cloud descend to the ground, which they
thought and afterwards learned was
cyclone. 1t struck Mr.. Belts place, doing
considerable damage to timber, fencing,
etc, sweeping the ground. A field
of cotton was blown up by
the roots, leaving the grouud.entirely bare
and clean. The track of the storm was
about 100 yards wide going in the direc-
tion Of W. &. DriscoH's. Hearing a noise
similar to that make by moving train,
Mr.. Drisc0ll went out of the house to see
what was the matter, and seeing the
storm rapidly approaching, called to his
. their lives, for only moment more and
the house was entirely demolished and
blown away. The rain as very heavy.
Milledgeville Chronicle: Men ton has
been made in former issue that a paper
was circulated and numerously signed
by our best citizens allowing Mr.. Kreutz
to come back. This paper was forwarded
to him by his sister, Mrs. Casey, and in
obedience to it, he came back Thursday
afternoon to look after his children and
his business. In an interview the Chron-
icle had with him, he stated substantially
the same as published in his explanation
an tne macon Telegraph. lie ad-
mits that he was drunk and deeply re-
grets having ridden in the procession,
which he was coaxed and f1attered into
by lot Of parasites. The next
morning he says his modification
was so poignant, and he felt so wretched
from the effects of his debauch the night
before, he was unable to make an inteIli-
gent statement, and his only desire was
to be let alone and to be by himself. He
most emphatically denies the shameful
words attributed to him. L know, says
he, if had had barrel of whisky in me,
l never could have made use of any such
remarks. They are entirely abhorrent to
my instinct, taste and education. He
says he stood his exile well that he was
not mad with the people of MiEledgeville
at all, and that he had firm and abiding
conviction all the while that the people
of Milledgsville would repudiate the dis
graceful story that was told on him.
