In tho Northeastern portion Of the
county the damage is not as great, so far as

In the Southwestern portion Of the
county the destruction was very great,

The Railroad Bridge over Broai River
was omp'e'ely demolished, leaving nothing
but the rock piers.

the cyclone struck this point on the road
abou; the time the South bound train was at

The largo unoccupiod storehouso of Mr..
ID. p Crosby on the Union side of the river

together with large amount of timber.
The track Of the storm was about mile
wide, laying in waste a great deal Of timber,

Those who have suffered have the sincere
sympathy Of the entire county in their sffiic-

A Mean Trick.

It has come to our knowledge that about
two weeks ago Mr.. Alex. Pruitt of Bogans-
Vile, had mule shot in the foot with a shot
from an mir gun while standing in front Of q
store on main street waiTing for the wagon
to be loaded. The injury inflicted is likely
to render the mule worthless.
The person, let him be man or hoy, that
did It, should be .cverely punished, and We
hope the Council will be successful in find
ing the guilty party, and making him or
them suffer for it.
We have often thought the air guns that
we sec the small boys using on the streets
and private lots were very dangerous, and
we think the Town Council should take the
matter in hand and put stop to the firing
Of them, in the streets at least.

Mr. Strain has not been Postmaster since
1873. 4 little bird has whispered in our

who have fallen into the judicial hands of
Mr.. Strain, as Trial Justice, or as [. :.

gated and the truth revealed, doing full

worldly people are suddenly brought to
see that their hearts dearest treasure

of the Great Healer. Many ono who

that here is spirit whom God is carrying
through the test-season of education. And
any soul that can say, amid it ALL Thy

education is complete; it passes up into the
