Between the Seventh avenue cemetery and the Auditorium several houses were damaged. Five medium-sized trees were blown across West Second street north of Seventh avenue.
The Graves-Harper barn near Eighth avenue and West Second was knocked off its concrete rat-proof foundations and thrown down the hill toward Hell's Hol- low, and turned upside down. It was a nice wreck.
After blowing down several trees on Eighth avenue the tornado dived into Hell's Hollow. It missed the city water pumping station on Fort Jackson by at least 500 feet and swept over Blossom Hill, inhabited by negroes. Here the main damage was to fruit trees, which was true of other neighborhoods.
Windows in the court house offices of Judges Moses Wright and W. J. Nunnally were smashed. A lot of women and children were attending a court hearing in Judge Wright's office, and they songht places of safety. The Judge's office was in the teeth of the gale, as it were, but the occupants soon got into a different position.
Rome's commercial concerns hit by the storm quickly began to get back into shape. Carpenters and tinners did a land office business, and many others, in- cluding electrical workers, did pretty much the same. The forces of the Southern Bell Telephone Company and the Rome Railway & Light Company worked hard to restore conditions to normalcy.
Insurance men carrying tornado policies made ready to pay up. It was a new experience for them to get hit. W. B. Hale, of the Hale-Brannon Co., declared his firm stood ready to protect Romans and if another such rumpus came, he would surrender the cash. The others felt the same way about it.
As usual with tornadoes, the weather following was cold. The thermometer dropped down to where folks thought a freeze might greet them Monday morning,

This Third avenue spot was included in "Belvidere," the home place of Hollis Cooley, which later became the habitation of Walker W. Brookes and Judge Waller T. Turnbull. It nestled at the foot of old Shorter Hill.

but this did not come. A stiff wind most of Sunday aggravated the situation. Opinions seemed to be that fruit and crops would be hurt, but not seriously.
TREMENDOUS STORM
On Thursday, the 12th inst., at one o'clock, a violent storm, moving in a South- erly direction, passed over this place, carrying with it dense, black clouds of dust, leaves, branches of trees, and all sorts of light trash, and doing very considerable damage in its course. The bands of Æolus seemed to have been loosed and verily "the winds did blow and crack their cheeks."
The following damages by the storm have come to our knowledge: Two freight cars standing on the track just north of the depot were driven down the track, by the force of the wind, to the foundry, where a switch being turned wrong for them to go farther, they were thrown from the track and one of them smashed up; about one-third of the sheet iron roof of the depot on each side of the building, commencing on the north end, was torn off; the chimney of the store of Sloan & Hoopers was blown down, breaking through the roof and into the store room of Magnus & Wyse, just missing several persons sitting there; the chimney of the store occupied by W. T. Newman and owned by P. M. Sheibley was blown down and broke through the roof; the sky-light to Bearden's Daguerrean gallery was blown quite off. and the entire chimney to Wm. R. Smith's old store was blown en- tirely down. We hear that the tin on the whole south side of the depot at Kingston was blown off and carried in the arms of the storm to the hotel of Mrs. Johnson; the depot at Cass Station suffered the same fate, and that at Cartersville was en- tirely uncovered, and several other buildings injured.
Capt. Partin, the old cotton buyer, while riding up Broad street was blown from his horse, and being blinded by the storm. while attempting to get into Harper & Butler's Hardware store, fell into the ditch and severely sprained his ankle. A Rev. Mr. Lowe, of the Methodist Church, traveling in a buggy, was over- taken by the storm on the Summerville road, some six miles from here, and seeing a tree about to fall on them, himself and negro boy, barely saved their lives by jumping from the vehicle; the falling tree killed the horse and crushed the buggy. Thousands of trees were twisted off, but, the ground being so very dry and hard, comparatively few were turned up by the roots. All through the country great damage has been done to fences and out-buildings .- Rome Tri-Weekly Courier, July 14, 1860.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF GEORGIA (From Sherwood's Gazetteer, 1829)
"Georgia is bounded on the north by Tennessee and North Carolina, on the northeast by South Carolina, from which it is separated by the Savannah River; on the southeast by the Atlantic Ocean; on the south by Florida; and on the west by a corner of Florida and Alabama. The line between this state and Tennessee begins at Nickajack, in Latitude 35 degrees, West Longitude from Washington City 8 degrees, 38 minutes, 45 seconds, and runs due east 110 miles within a mile of the corner of Habersham and Rabun counties, where it meets the North Carolina boundary. The line between us and North Carolina is 30 miles in length, so that
446
A HISTORY OF ROME AND FLOYD COUNTY
the whole of our northern boundary, from Nickajack to Elicott's rock, at the head of the Chatuga, is 140 miles. From the confluence of the Chattahoochee and Flint Rivers, in Latitude 30 degrees, 42 minutes, 42 seconds, and Longitude 8 degrees, 53 minutes, 15 seconds, to the head of the St. Mary's, the distance is 157 miles. Extend this line to the Atlantic, 47 more, and we have a southern boundary of 200 miles. The Chattahoochee, in its various meanderings, forms the western boundary, 360 miles, to Miller's Bend, in Latitude 32 degrees, 52 minutes, 16 sec- onds, Longitude 8 degrees, 12 minutes, 45 seconds. Here the line diverges from the river, and runs north 90 degrees, 26 minutes, West, to Nickajack, a distance of 146 miles.
"Georgia extends from Latitude 30 degrees, 34 minutes, 26 seconds, 6 North, to the 35 degree; and from 3 degrees, 45 minutes, to 8 degrees, 38 minutes, 45 sec- onds, West Longitude from Washington City. Length from north to south, 300 miles; breadth from east to west, 240, containing upwards of 58,000 square miles, equal to 37,120,000,000 acres. In shape, this state is a pentagon, having its north- eastern angle in Rabun, its southeastern in Chatham, its south-southeastern in Camden, its southwestern in Decatur, its northwestern on the summit of Rackoon Mountain, in the Cherokee Nation.
"Sir Walter Raleigh is the reputed discoverer of the territory now called Georgia. (Historians, is that correct ?- Author.) On the 9th June, 1732, a char- ter was obtained of George II, King of England, to plant a colony. Nov. 24, 114 persons, with James Edward Oglethorpe as Governor of the Colony, sailed from Gravesend, Eng. On the 13th January, 1733, they arrived at Charleston; repaired to Georgia, which was named after the king, and laid out Savannah in February. The Creek Indians, who then had possession of the country, were invited to a council; about 50 chiefs assembled and granted the colonists full and free liberty to settle their land.
"In 1751, the colonial assembly, consisting of 16 members from the 11 dis- tricts, was authorized; and this body met in Savannah, 25th January.
"In 1752, the trustees, finding the colony did not flourish under their patronage, resigned their charter; and the province was formed into a royal government in 1754, by the appointment of John Reynolds, Governor.
"The reigns of the British government were thrown off in January, 1776. The provincial governor, Wright, was imprisoned, and Archibald Bullock acted as gov- ernor. In 1777, our constitution was formed. The separate sections of the settled parts of the state were denominated parishes, St. John's, St. Paul's, etc., eight in number; now they were called counties; and, except Liberty, received their names from distinguished individuals in the English Parliament, who were opposing the war and justifying the Americans in their manly resistance to oppressive taxation without representation. The constitution was revised in 1789 and 1795.
"The sessions of our legislature were held at Savannah until 1776; then the body met in Augusta. Its sessions were at Savannah and Augusta, as the perilous

conditions would admit, to the close of the war. Major Prince could find no account of any session in 1780. The governor and council were once at Ebenezer, when it was dangerous to remain at either of the above cities.
"The first session at Louisville was held in the winter of 1795-6. In 1807. Mil- ledgeville became the seat of government, and tne sessions of the legislature have ever since been held in that place.
"By royal charter of the King of England, dated June 9, 1732, to Gen. Ogle- thorpe and other trustees, the lands between the Savannah and Altamaha Rivers were granted in trust, and in 1763, the lands between the Altamaha and St. Mary's. In 1739, Gen. Oglethorpe held a treaty of friendship with the Creeks, at an Indian town, on the west bank of the Chattahoochee, above the falls, called Coweta.
"By a treaty held at Augusta, 1773, with the Creeks and Cherokees, the lands were acquired which now compose Wilkes, Lincoln, etc .; and by another treaty at the same place, in 1783, the land was acquired up to the mouth of the Kiowe, and the line followed nearly the present line between Elbert and Franklin, leaving Danielsville a little south; thence on west to the source of the Appalachee; and down this stream, the Oconee, and Altamaha, to an old line. The south part of this territory was, in the next year, named Washington county, and the north part Franklin. The treaty of Golphinton was held in 1785. Possession was obtained of the lands included in a line running southwest, from the forks of the Ocmulgee and Oconee to the south stream of St. Mary's.
"The treaty at Shoulderbone, 1786, was not to acquire land, but to establish the others more permanently, and to secure the punishment of offenders.
"In 1802, by a treaty held at Fort Wilkinson, just below Milledgeville, part of the lands between the Oconee and the Ocmulgee was obtained. The line began on the Appalachee, at the High Shoals, leaving Madison four miles east, crossing Lit- tle River at Lumsden's Mill; Commissioner's Creek at Rushing's Mills, and down Palmetto Creek to the Oconee. In 1805, at Washington City, the remainder of the lands between the Oconee and Ocmulgee were acquired, up to the mouth of the Alcovee River, the corner of Newton and Jasper counties. These lands were dis- tributed by lotteries since, and all acquired.
"In 1814, Gen. Jackson having conquered the Creeks, on the Tallapoosa, made a treaty with them at Ft. Jackson on that river, by which the lands between the

Chattahoochee and Altamaha were acquired. This territory includes Early, Baker, the south part of Irwin, Appling, Ware, etc. The act to survey these lands was not passed until 1818.
"In 1817, by treaty at the Cherokee agency, and by another at Ft. Laurens, on the Flint River, in 1818, that territory which now includes Newton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Walton, most of Hall and Habersham, was acquired. In 1819, by a treaty at Washington, Rabun county was obtained, and the western part of Hall and Habersham to the Chestatee. In 1821, the lands between the Flint and the Ocmulgee were acquired by a treaty. The counties are Monroe, Bibb, Crawford, Dooly, Houston, Upson, Fayette, Pike, and Henry.
"In 1825, those between the Flint and Chattahoochee were acquired by treaty at the Indian Springs. Counties-Coweta, Campbell, Carroll, Troup, etc."
