About II 20 this morning a terri
bic wind and rain storm visited this
city from the northwest.
The first notice we have of damage
is the blowing down of The smoke

was bloW off Rainey's restaurant
and Horfs livery stable was terribly
shook up, and the roof blown off on
to the small dwelling adjoining.
The chimney on j. J. Steele's
house was taken down; in fact, we
hear Of several citizens taking down
their climneys, saying they would not
need them again this summer.
Almost the entire roof of the NJ. f.
Church, North, was blown Off: the
spire of the Presbyterian Church was
moved somewhat from its Original
position; the Baptist Church was
shaken up somewhat, having a portion
of the shingles torn from the roof
the colorcd Baptist Church had one
corner torn off.
The four-story brick building occu
pied by Gill & Co., was considerably
damaged.
We have been unable to learn wha
damage occurred in the country. A
good deal ofinjury happened to young
trees and shrubbery, being twisted
and torn up by the roots, and fences
in the country were laid fiat.
This morning there was found OF
the railroad a sign hearing the inscrip
