MIDDLEwAY, JEFFERSON Co. |
March II.
Yesterday the weather was as warm
as summer, the thermometer standing at
so degrees, when about o'clock P. VI. we
were visited by the most terrific hail and
rain storm, accompanied by thunder and
lightning, ever experienced. The water
in the streams rose several feet higher
than ever known before. A large por.
tion of our town was submerged, cellars
were tlled, and such destruction was
never before known. Ex-Stste Senator
John w. Granthsm's farm, two miles
eas. of the town, in the same valley, is
well-nigh ruined. FeRces were swept
away and the lard badly washed. A
large portion of the growing wheat on
the farm was destroyed. Many cattle,
sheep and hogs were destroyed in this
section. The hail that fell was from the
size of hickorynut to chunks of ice the
size Of mans fist. The whole county
suffered great loss.
