]. S. Dugsin Dies In Grenada.

On Wednesday morning, August B,
Mr.. J. S. Duggin surrendered to a
chronic disease and life's battle with
him was over.
He was about fifty-fve years old
and was we'll and fayora5ly known
here, having resided for many years
near HOlcomb, in the western portion
of this county. He was a man OF an
obliging nature, kind and courteous to
all.
He came to Grenada about three
months ago, from near PittSboro,
where he had been engaged in manag-

Whitaker. His trouble was beyond
the reach Of medicine, and he realized
the inevitable and had prepared for
the coming summons by confeSSing
Christ and uniting himself with the
Presbyterian church.
His remains were inferred at Hope

morning, Rev. B. p. JacO, pastor OF
the Methodist church, conducting the

MISS C0RINNE TATUM's DEATH.
A Life Cut Down In The Dew OF Its
Morning.

On the morning of August /, at IL
O'Clock, the life of Miss Corinne Tatum,
the second daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
S. L. Tatum. completed its earthly
mission and went back to the God who
gave it.
She was a little past twenty-one
years old. She had been i'll for more
than four weeks and had borne her
suffering patiently and with a forth
tude that could be but pleasing to
Him who lifts the curtains of heaven
and looks with a sympathetic eye up
on all the trials that the human fam
lily is called upon to endure.
Her illness had received the atten-
tion of skilled physicians and scientific
nursing, besides the ministrations of
loving parents and devoted sisters and
other relatives, but all these could not
prevail, and God called her to a higher
field. The star of hope Shone bright
ly for her and cherry sunbeams babe
her look buoyantly into the future.
She was OF attractive features and
modest and gentle in her manners.
She possessed a sweet disposition and
her character Illustrated a beautiful
blending of decision, the womanly
virtues, the dutiful daughter and the
loving sister.
Just as her life'S bark was launch
ing we'll out upon the deep unseen
a voyage that preSaged the aroma of
incense from affairs of heavenly fire
and the fragrance of flowers that grew
round about the gates of the celestial
city, her bark went down to rise amid
the Sunlit bowers of paradise. Just
why she was taken, God knows. He
makes no mistakes. 1t is hard for the
afflicted family to now realize this.
They miss the sound of a voice that is
huShed and observe a chair that is
vacant. But the rainbow of Gods
promise spans the distance between
her and them, and the charms of
heaven are but intensified by her hav-
ing gone on before. May the bereaved
ones, to whom we offer words of SYM
pathy, join her there.
Miss Corinne was a member of the
Methodist church and was an active
worker in all of its departments.
The funeral services were conducted
from the family residence on Tuesday
afternoon by her pastor, Rev. B. p.
Jaco, and were very touching indeed.
The large number who came to attend
the last sad rites and offer words OF
sympathy and love to. the stricken
ones atteSted in a small measure the
popularity of the departed one.
Her remains were deposited in Odd
Fellows cemetery where they await
the resurrection morn.

CHAPTER VI.
THE GREAT HURRICANE.

On Thursday, May 7, 1S46, Grenada
was visited by a terrible tornado that
lest death and destruction in its wake.
| There was a heavy rain in the early
morning, but about 10 O'Clock the
clouds had spent their watery accumu-
lationS and the sun burst forth in all
it's wanted splendor. But Don heavy
clouds again overspread the tirma-
ment, continuing to grow thicker and
darker until about 2:30 p. M, when
the heavens became so densely dark
that a "Small article was scarcely per-
ceptable at a little distance" A
heavy wind arose which howled
around the houses with a most hid
eous and threatening noise" and lev
cling the young shrubbery with the
ground. About 3 O'Clock a dread
full cloud of smoke, dust and rent tim
Der betokened the approach OF a
most awful tornado" 1t burst upon
the town and in its train brought
ruin, deSolation and death. 1t grew
almost as dark as midnight and
houses were torn TO atoms and SCAT
tered with their contents over the
surrounding country, and amid an
awful scene of destruction, the groanS
of the dying and the heart rending
lamentations of the living, the lorna
do went on it's march of devastation
through the surrounding country.
The -. a local paper published
the day after the tornado, gave an ac-
count of the melancholy event from
which the following extract is taken:
ssThe tornado entered Grenada in
the western part and first in its sweep
over the town took the houses of Gen.
T. N. Waul, occupied by the Eubanks;
of SAINT King, occupied by Daniel
Robinson, Esq; and that of Gen. L.
N. Waul, occupied by DR.. Robert Pur-
nell. In the destruction OF these
houses two white persons were hur-
ried into eternity, viz: Mr.. Robinson
and Mrs. Robinson. In the death of
these persons. our friend and fellow
townsman, Daniel Robinson, Esq,
lost a father and q devoted wife. Sew
eral OF bis children were also wound
ed; there were also three negroes
killed, the property of DR.. Pnrnell.
A Mr.. Enbanks was also killed, and
his child is lying mortally wounded.

house of James Sims, Esq, and in
jured some of his family, though for

war.
There was a destructive fire in Feb
ruary1S55, burning up the entire bust
ness part Of the town, except two
buildings, the Lake corner building
and bank corner.
Tom Bingham living six miles east
of Grenada was murdered about the
fifties by some of his negroes. They
slipped up behind him while he was
sitting in his house alone, his wife
being away on a visit; they knocked
him in the head. They took the
body and buried it on the bank of
Bogue, near town. When he was
missed, and search being made, one
of the negro women confessed that
she and two men did the killing.
They were all three hanged by a mob
in the west part of town: this "a
probably the first mob in the history
of the county.
The following extract from the Pa
nola Picayune, of August %, 1855,
shows something of the style of some
of the political writing of ante bellum
days:
j. G. Clinton, the great, is a can
didate for the legislature in Yalo-
buSha county, and the ants are try
ing very hard to beat him. They
would dig up the foundations of the
earth, and pitch them into hell If
that would kill the noble fellow"
The first annual catalogue of the
Y~alobusha Baptist Female Institute
was issued in 1852. w. S. Webb, A. NJ,
was principal and the institution was
in a flourishing condition.

intruSted to him. For many years he
was in the employ of Col. w. n. Pass,
and contributed largely to the fnan-

About twelve years ago he connect

that had marked his business career.
He was a nan Of few words. Quiet

attempts to infringe upon the rights

speak unkindly OF any man, and that
it had been the rule of his life to alb

member of the Presbyterian church
and was a devoted adherent to its
doctrines.
The deceased leaves a wife and one
daughter, besides other relatives, to
mourn his death, TO whom we offer

The funeral services were conducted
from the residence on Sunday after
