The Jackson Standard spins the following story of the tornado in that vicinity.
    A young horseman was leisurely wending his way along through one of our byroads, when the storm suddenly arose, and commenced felling the timber all around him. He became alarmed and put spurs to his horse; but what was his surprise to find himself and horse lifted in a twinkling by the wind, and carried over a stake and ridered fence, and deposited in the middle of a large meadow, where he concluded to remain until the storm had subsided.
   Another incident is as follows and related to us:
    A gentleman not a thousand miles from here, was driving a team when the storm came up-happening to be near a stable on the banks of Salt Creek, he unhitched his team and placed them in the stable. He had just left the stable when a sudden crash surprised him, and turning head to see the cause of the noise, he beheld the stable standing on the opposite side of the stable, but the team standing on the identical spot where he had left them, minus the stable.
