As far as can be ascertained at present, six towns were partially de- stroyed. They are Bondurant.

The first fatality occurred two miles east of Bondurant. The house feel proud. A lawyer of experience and ability, if nominated and elect- ed, he will make a most efficient of- ficial. The democracy will need a good campaigner upon the ticket, and there is no abler in the State than Edward C. Crow of Jasper County. Lewis would get a little more out of the vovernor’s race. That is, he would haye the distinction of having been the party’s nominee for gov- erncr. He has already got all the congressional honors in sight for him. Fickle Thomas.
