originated on the gulf, swept north
eastward through portions of Alabama,
centraland northern Mississippi, and
western Tennessee, and in its north
ward course RACED scores Of substan-
tial buildings, partially demolished
hundreds of others, caused a complete
decentralization of railroad traffic and
cut off telegraphic communication with
many points in the affected territory.
Cotton in the fields blown down by
the wind was beaten into the ground
and badly damaged. Wolf river, a
small stream running eastward of this
city, is out of it's banks in many places,
and in the vicinity of Rossville, Tenn,
is several miles wide, the town being
completely inundated and the populace
in a state bordering on panic.
In the Path of the Storm.
The storm approached Athens, Ala,
from the west, and cut a path 300
yards wide through the southern por-
| ton OF that city. A score of buildings
we're wrecked, Dut no one was killed
or seriously injured.
At Mathison, Miss, nearly every
building in the southern portion of the
