We recently heard story that
plucks for the narrator the laurels
from the brow of the fish story teller.
The author says that during recent
hail storm about a dozen large hail
stones went through the single roof
of his barn. That one struck horse
between the two eyes and killed it.
That one hail stone measured eighteen
inches in circumference the longway,
and that forty-fve picked up just as
they fell filled a bucket, and if thirty
larger ones had been selected the
larger ones would have been sufficient.

September 14th has been chosen by
the democratic state central commit
tee as the day upon which the state
convention shall be held. The appor-
tionment is one delegate at large from
each county and one delegate for
every $50 votes cast for Cleveland,
emitting this county to three dele
gates. BY action of the committee it
becomes necessary in this county as
in other counties of the state in which
early conventions have been held, to
re. elect the delegates to the state con-
vention, for the reason that none but
those who are elected under the call,
or in other words, after the call was
made, will be recognized by the con-
vention.
