more widespread, for there is g storm
All over the eastern and southern quarter
of the United States. The excessive
violence of the storm, however, appeared
at midnight to have been confined TO the
south Atlantic coast.
The report from the Weather Bureau
states that the storm was central at
Lynchburg, Va, starting at about s
o'clock yesterday morning. It was fol
lowed by heavy rain, and 2.6S inches
fell in that city. The storm travelled
due north to Lake Erie. It was ac-
companed by strong wind, travelling
at the rate Of twenty-five miles an hour
in Lynchburg, twenty-six at Norfolk
twenty four at Washington and forty al

The wind in this city at eight O'Clock
last night was blowing at seventeen
miles an hour, but it was increased Il

Mrs. Pratt Answers Her Numerous Cor
respondents Through the Columns
a. ; of the Union. -@
CRoMANToN, Fla. May 18th, 1898.
Since the blizzard of April Goth let
tiers are almost daily comming to us
filled with questions concerning this
country as a place to immigrate to.
With the EDITORS consent I will answer
a good long list of them through the
columns of the UNION, though have
already answered a good many of them
in previous numbers. ,(Moral-Take
the UNION and keep posted.) Those
who have sent sta1np s will be replied to
by mail. The first question usually is
about wages. In this part of the State,
and [ suppose it is about the same else
where, there is next to nothing being
done, and hardly anyone with money
to hire help even if they wanted to-.
There is occasionally small job OF
clearing land, and some building being
done, but not enough for stranger. to
hang much of a hope upon. The usual
price just here for clearing land is
about $40 per acre, but it means that
a man must take grub hoe and fit the
land all ready for seeding by hand, and
not a root must be left in it, and there
is a complete net work of roots beneath
the surface, SO thick that when they
are all removed the ground is as mel
low as an old field. Most Of the land
here is very sandy. There are places
where the land is rich but people will
/ have malaria, chills and fever. We
prefer the sandy land and good health.
