The Panola Star on the 2nd says; “A very distinct shock of an earthquake was felt in this vicinity at 3 o’clock last Monday morning. It awakened many of our citizens, but was of short duration. In the southeastern portion of this county and in the neighborhood of Water Valley and Grenada, in Yalobusha county, MS., it was more violent and created considerable alarm.”
