Fuller reports from the storm which
Thursday night swept Tennessee indI
cate that IL extended from one end Of
the State to the other, leaving In It's
wake the dead and dying, destroying
Innumerable homes and outhouses,
Iaylno waste vast tracks of forest
land, and occasioning untold suffering
and sorrow.
The list of dead will number nifty,
and may exceed that number, as COM
pIete details come in from the rural
districts, which from lack Of wire SER
vice have been slow to report their
losses. The property loss will reach
into the hundreds Of thousands Of dol
lars, and cannot at this time be even
approximately estimated.
The Tennessee towns that were the
worst sufferers are Decherd, which
was practically swept away, several
being dead and many injured; Centre
Vile, where many houses were blown
down and a number of persons killed;
Hilsboro, where the dead now number
four, and others may die; PrImm's
Springs, with two dead, and two others
seriously injured. Bunker Hill and
other Giles county villages in which
score of lives were sacrificed to the
storm demon, and Franklin, where
one negro was killed and much proper
ty loss sustained.
But the storm swept its way across
the entire length of the state, and re-
ports of damage, attended in some in
stances with loss of life have been
received from WatertoWn, Algood,
CookevilIe, CIarksvilIe, Bolivar, Adams
Station, Mckenzie, jackson, McEwen,
Milan, HumboIt, Trezezant, Knoxville,
and score of other places. It was the
worst visitation which Tennessee has
received from the storm king in years.

Fire was discovered shortly after
four o'clock Monday morning in the
buildings of Mrs. w. p. Roberts here
ana though everything was done that
was POSSIBLE, the buildings and con-
tents were destroyed. The house had
been unoccuped for some weeks as
Mrs Roberts is away. The fire was
evidently the work of tramps. The
loss is something like $4,000 with some
insurance.

evening with presents OF silver, cut
