In RUINs.-During the storm which
visited this place last Monday, the large
new (colored) M. E. Church building on
west Martin street was destroyed and
now presents mass of debris and ruins.
The destruction of this church is big
calamity to the congregation, who made
such splendid and successful effort to
have a church home. The frame work
appears to be very inferior in point of
jointings and rafters, and the wonder
is the building has not fallen ere this.
We understand the church was empty
at the time of its destruction but the
trustees had just passed out. 1t is GER
tainly fortunate that no one was in the
building, for to have been caught be-
meath such a mountain of plaster, tim
Der and bricks would have been certain
death. The storm was quite severe in
the western end of the town, twisting
off limbs and blowing down trees and
fences. aet1
