The town of Wesson, in Mississippi, was struck by a cyclone on the 23d of April, and the pine forests in the vicinity utterly uprooted, as well as the houses destroyed. Wesson is to be sympathized with. It was one of the first places in the South which after the war went into the development of home industry. Here they grew their own cotton, and manufactured it on the spot, finally producing an article as cheaply and as good as that manufactured in any Northern State. A visit to these mills, then in their infancy, some years ago, is among the pleasant recollections in our editorial experience.
