ATLANTA, GA, Jan. The track Of
the cyclone at Fayetteville is plainly visible
to-day, and presents a scene Of utter DESC
lation. To those who witnessed its fury, It
seems miraculous that more lives were not
lost than those already reported. Houses
were blown entirely away, and not a trace
of the material is 10 be found. Some OF
the escapes were wonderful. A sick girl in
the Graham household was blown out Of
bed, and the next instant the bed was
blown to atoms by the fury of the storm.
A man named SeHell was directly in the
path Of the cyclone, and when the wind be-
came too strong 80 stand he lay down In a
slight indentation in the ground and escaped
unhurt save a few bruises sustained by fall
ing timber striking him. Portions of the
alliance warehouse we're blown fifteen miles
away and are to-day regarded with great
curiosity. None of the injured have died
since yesterday and all are in fair way TO
recovery. All that is possible to alleviate
the suffering of the homeless is being done
