ST. LOUIS GLOBE-DEMOCRAT, Missouri, April 27, 1880

* Macon, Mississippi
* Tornado disaster

This uncommon Midwestern title has news of the day with many advertisements. The front page has an article headed: "THE SOUTH STRICKEN" "Terrible Tidings from Macon Mississippi" "Seventeen Persons Killed and Twenty-Two Wounded" and more.
This issue is not fragile as newsprint back then was made of cotton and linen rags, allowing them to remain very pliable and easy to handle. Complete in 10 pages, a little irregular along the spine, very nice condition.
