The Weekly Constitution October 21, 1879
The Waynesboro Expositor tells of a storm that visited that town Friday of last 
week.  The clouds gathered quickly and in a short while the rain poured down in 
torrents.  Accompanying the rain was a vicious wind storm, which went over the 
place in fury, blowing down trees, fences and the Baptist church, which had 
just been framed.  The timbers were well nigh ruined and the building was 
wrecked.  The estimated loss is several thousand dollars.  Twenty-three trees 
were blown down in Colonel Jones's front yard, some of them being a foot and a 
half in diameter.  The gin-house of Mrs. Rebecca Saxon, in Sodom district, was 
struck by lightning and burned, together with several bales of cotton.  The 
house had recently been completed and the loss is a heavy one.  A good deal of 
cotton throughout the county was injured by the wind and rain.
