4 MASS OF RUINS.
The entire pathway OF the storm
two miles from tile Gaines
vile mills around the outskirts OF til,
:ity to the Pacolet mills at New Iol
and is Il mass OF ruins, but fnrtu
natcly the cottages in the trail nf Lh
tornado between the Southern station
and Ncw Holland were those Of nc
5rocS who were all ;bscat from ltl
city Monday IN attendance on IL col
bred excursion.
Business is almost entirely suspend
ed throughout the city, the attention
of everybody being given to the car
Of the wounded and suffering. Their,
is no lack Of medical attention, man,
surgeons being present from Atlant;
md other cities. There is great need
however. OF closing, antiscpticS an6
,thcr medical supplies
The local militia have been called
'llt for police duty The city is yer,
orderly and quiet and only few in
tanccS OF pillaging have been re.
ported.
NnffS
The work or the tornado was com.
'lctc. From the factory where Ii
lrSt descended upon the doomed city
o the hills beyond New Holland
where it rose into the upper air, tho
eStructiOn OF property is appalling.
Along this entire course for a lis
ancc Of two miles there is not Il fence
not Il habitablc house, most
I the latter being reduced to Strips
Ike laths and scarcely a tree left.
At New Holland the storm did it's
iorst. Nothing but the barren red
ills are left there TO tell the story of
he awful disaster.
For distance Of three e-QuartcrS of
mile on the hillsidcS and in the val
y to tho left Of the pacolct mills tic
round is obscnred almost entirely by
he fragments OF the 100 houses that
ere there when the twisting tornado
yrpt down.
Standing on the hill top nearest the
ty OF Gainesville and looking north
,St, a strip Of perfectly smooth swept
is presented to the eye OF the
server and and the entire vista is
wed with the wrcckagc Of destroyed
ones.
