We learn from talks with the farmers that seed potatoes are quite scarce.

Any one having potatoes for sale could find a ready sale for them in tins market. Sweet potatoes are selling in this market at about 'the same price that corn is, and yet we have seen as high as 300 bushels of potatoes grown on an acre of laud that would not make more than a bushel of corn.

Although we-have made dilligcnt inquiries, wehave not been able to track the cyclone any farther westward, than where we started it lust in the neighborhood of Smith Davis. Mr.

Jim Burns says it deemed to him that he could see it forming, and that he is 'Whit'esburg. Ueported by I). CVCLONK SAYIXGS. Maj. Bryan says if the cyclone conies after us in earnest it will get us even in a cyclone pit.

Jethro Jones says in his opinion the best protection from the cyclone is Jthe Almighty power, the rock of ages. Mr. J. D. Wallace, wife and mother say "it is no to get help for the cyclone sufferers," they brouhgt down a trunk full of quilts and clothing from the settlement of Paul's church last week.

Rev. Mr. Carson and Mr. Roberson from near old Carrollton were down last week to see what the sufferers need and said "they would probably bring a load of necessaries down- in a few days." We suppose the contributions here in-town amount to over three, hundred dollars. The people's hearts are open, 'Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might, for there is no work nor device nor knowledge nor wisdom.in the grave, whither thou goest." Quit profaning God's name, quit lying, quit stealing, quit drunken ess, cease to do evil, learn to do good, for a cyclone of greater power and ten fold greater magnitude to each of us than any we have seen or heard of will come to us all ere long and we can't 'escape its ravages by getting into a cyclone pit.

Most everybody in town have dug cyclone pits. AVe have been in our own, E. S. Roberts, W. W.

We learn from the EdwardsvifTe (Ala.) Standard that Rev. J. P.

Houston, once a blacksmith "in Carrollton, but who moved from par- roilton to Tallapoosa, a year or two ago h'as recently graduated at one of the medical colleges in Atlanta and is now located at Oak Level, in county for the purpose, of practicing his profession.

He disposed of satisfied, that it commenced its destructive'chreer in this county. On the other hand, Mr. Dave Power says, that.a relative of his, a Mr. Sewell was-Jn Randolph county, on the day the cyclone, and he says that it passed through that county, in the neighborhood of where he wan, but it was-rathcr high up the damage was not very serious. Mr.

Tom Jbnes, living in the eastern part ofthe county, says that.it turned over the flat at Jethro Jones' ferfy77aml thut a fish weighing three pounds, was found on th'e bank of after its passage. He gives it as his opinion, that if anyone had it when it crossed the river, they would have been able to.see the bed of the river itself. 1 As far east as we have been able" to trace tluv, cyclone that passejd through this'iounty, is in the edge of Campbell county. There seems to have been several on the same day. One 1 passed through edge of LaGrange, and we suppose it was the one tnat passed through Grftutville.

T. tells us.

Wo will lose from our town the rail road section houses and hands as citizens, as they arc to be rebuilt at or near Lodi. J. F. Culpeppor John Houseworth and others had a fine lot of good timber felled to the earth by the cyclone. Uncle Moses Taylor has a new house in course of building on the lot where his old one was carried from.

Rev. Mr. Head, primitive minister of Griffin, preached in the Baptist church last Monday night, followed by Rev. W. D.

Moore killed a mad dog at his brother Alee Moore's house on R. H. Springer's place. The waving limbs of a bush probably saved Mr. Moore from attack while loading his gun and the second shot brought the clog to death.

Mrs. A. D. Hagan and Miss Lizzie Bridges of Carrollton were down visit to relatives last week. Our town is in mourning to day.

Mrs. S. F. Andrews, 'wife of Prof. W.

II. Andrews, died this morning at about half past 12 m. April 2nd, 1884, aged 36 years. 'circum- stances'attending her death are about as follows: Since the cyclone she has been complaining some, but has been up and about as usual. On the day of the cyclone she was greatly, frightened and somewhat exposed'in her flight from the storm but was knocking about the yard yesterday evening, and re- tired'at night as usual.

About midr night we were awaked by Prof. A's, little daughter, Bernice, crying at our door: "Mama is dying, please open'the door quick." Mrs.D. and Mrs. AV. got up quickly but greatly frightened at the cry and tho' the lightning was Hashing in the north west and black clouds rising dig a place in the ground about 6 feet wide-, 8.

feet long, and 7 feet deep. Cover it with timbers and dirt. Be call it a cyclone pit, but a milk house. And when you see a bad looking cloud say to your wife and "Lets go in the milk house and get some milk." If you call it a cyclone pit, the braves laugh at But let a storm, come, and when tree tops, fence rails, shingles, bee- gums and unknown baby clothes begin to fly' around their heads they will then get under your feet in a milk house if they could. Some people are mighty brave when they cannot smell burnt powder.

Let powder begin to burn, then you will see them trying to swallow themselves. A man that will touch fire to his fellow man's crib, burn up all his corn, his fodder, shucks, mule and ruin his horse, is down on, and stained with the dregs of all that is mean and corrupt. But a man that will sneak behind his fellow man's back and misreprent him to his neighbor to lower character in their estimation is meaner than they." For the asassin of character, is worse than the assassin of life. KcpovtedbyP.il. C.

He leaves a wife and several children and friends to mourn his loss; We tender our deepest condolence to thebereavad family and friends.

John Rooker has a nephew living with him who is very sick and is not expected to live. Mr. II. B. Bartlett has a son right sick but we are glad to say he is mending.

Wheat and oats have begun to grow since the weather has turned warmer. We have heard the voice of the whippoorwill for several That is a good sign for spring. The farmers are very busy preparing land for cotton and some have commenced to plant corn, and if the farmers would raise all the corn, wheat and oats, potatoes, onions, cabbage, beans, turnips and all their meat at home -and then raise what cotton they could, there would be better times and every man would have a little money left. We know several of them kind of men in old Carroll that have worked that plan who are doing well.

Yellow Dirt. Contributed by onr Special Correspondent. We have waited patiently for something to turnup, so it has come at last in the shape of a cyclone and mad "dog. We had a real sensation in the shape of a little sharp eared flee dog, who seemed to be a regular tramp, and the knowing ones said he Avas afflicted with hydrophobia. It bit several dogs in this community and seemed to have things his own way, until he attacked our veteran dog killer, Mr.

Ben Brown, who gave our flee apassport to that place where fice are harmless. We havent exactly had a cyclone but a cyclone it came booming through in sight. But as yon have the principal items of its destruction already, will offer nothing. Pits to hide in when others come are being prepared by some of our neighbors. I havent dug one yet, but have been thinking of a good place provided I should get in the notion, for the prudent man scenteth the cyclone from afar and diggeth a hole in the ground to hide in.
