At La Vergne, Is miles south of

& ST. Louis road, the velocity of the
wind was marvellous and from best
reports lasted only about 20 seconds.
In this short time about 35 dwellings
were turned into kindiing wood. The
loss of life is small compared with the
miraculous escapes made. The wind
made a swath about 900 yards wide
through the middle of the town. The
LIE Vergne high school and the depot,
the two largest buildings, were laid
fiat on the ground. The loss of these
two buildings is placed at something
like $1,000. The railroad lost four
section houses also, each valued at
5000. The victims of the tornado are
George Robertson and his six-months-
old child.
In Mississippi.
In Mississippi the greatest loss of
life and damage to property occurred
near Tunica, Lula and fernando. A
report by courier from a point IL
miles from Tunica says that the tor
nado's devastation was so great that
it will take weeks to calculate and re-
pair it. Five negroes lost their lives
on the Hamlin place. In Tunica the
schoolhouse, church and a number of
buildings were totally demolished.
More than so negroes are missing. and
persisted. Cotton is reported badly
damaged
