INCOGNITO.
Horse Thief.

Horse thieves have been getting in their
work in this and the adjoining county Of
Greene, lately.
On the night of the 10th of March last,
a valuable mare was stolen from the
stable of Fethias Smith, of Clear Creek,
Greene county, and on the 10th inst, Mr..
John A. Sherfey, of Morning Star, was
the loser of q dark iron gray mare which
he describes as follows: Three years old;
about 10 hands high; long body; light
tail, 1t having been trimmed out; large
ears; small white spot on forehead and
one on throat; and without blemish. 9th.
er property, consisting of saddles and
brides were also taken at both places.
The descriptions furnished by both Mr..
Smith, and Mr.. Sherfey tally in every
particular and they are convinced that
both thefts were by the same party. They
give his name as Joseph Burdette and
describe him as 25 or 26 years old; is
about 5 feet 8 inches high; weighs from
14O to $50 pounds; and has a bald spot
on back of head; had on a brown suit
and straw hat of dirty color, and carried
a brown valise by strap from shoulder.
Mr.. Sherfey says he sometimes gives his
name as Barnett and also travels under
the alias of Barnes.
Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Sherfey offer re-
wards aggregating 800 for the return Of
their property and the apprehension Of
the thief.
This thing of walking off with from
$3.50 to 5000 worth Of property and es.
Gaping the clutches of the law will not
do; and it behooves our citizens to keep
a sharp lookout for suspicious characters.
Horse stealing is a serious matter, especi-
ally If the loser be a poor man, and we
hope the people generally will see 1t their
duty TO render all the assistance in their
power to capture the thieves.

HAwKINs-LYLE.

At the residence Of Mr.. G. ]. Lyle,
Green Meadows, about two miles west Of
Johnson City, last Wednesday night, the
18th inst. a most happy event occurred in
the marriage of Miss Fannie E., daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. G. J. Lyle to ]. l.
Hawkins Of Jonesboro, at half. past seven
o'clock, in the presence of a number Of
friends and relatives. The ceremony was
performed in a brief but very appropriate
manner by Rev. w. II. Cox, in the par.
lor. The bride and groom were attend
ed by Miss Mary Lyle a sister of the
bride and Miss Kate Wilds, of Jonesboro,
accompanied by Messrs. w. X. Price, of
Chattanooga, and II. w. Dusinberre, of
Joncsboro. After congratulations the
company was invited to partake of q
sumptuous repast prepared by the good
ladies of the house, after which, until a
late hour the assemblage passed the time
in '.jest and youthful jolity." Among
other amusements was the cutting a
cake for a ring and q darning needle con-
cealed in it. Our townsman J. X. Brown,
was the happy finder of the ring and we
wish him all that it signifies. AS to who
got the needle is somewhat uncertain, but
it is believed to lie between Miss Mollic
O'Keef, Of Greeneville, and Miss Mary
Lyle. May they never know whose lot
1t fell to and thus may the sign fail.
Mr.. r. M. May, and DR.. and Mrs.
N. N. Warlick were also present from
Jonesboro.
The happy couple left for Chattanoo.
ga on the morning train, and returned to
Jonesboro on the 25th inst.
The congratulations of the HERALD AND
TRIBUNE are hereby rendered the newly
welded couple, with the wish that their
lives may be long and happy.

THE STORM.
Gsess Damage to the Crops n Timber
Throughout the County.

A~nroughout the county.
In the early part Of the century, tor
nadoes were almost unknown. Even
thirty years ago they were of the rarest
occurrence. One which passed through
Central and Southern Ohio about twenty
eight years ago has become historic. But
now no pat of the country seems safe
from earthquakes and tornadoes. At
Aenia, o., twenty-six persons lost their
lives in the tornado and food of May IL.
Ten others are yet missing. They were
mostly colored and lived heal the creek.
Minnesota and the northwestern states
have had their experience, and even New
England and Virginia and Pennsylvania
have not escaped. April, May and June
are the tornado months. In the West re-
Gently, Kansas City, Mo-, suffered most.
During the past ten days some sections
Of Washington county have come in for
q share of the destructive influence Of
wind and water. In the neighborhood
of Keebler's X Roads a rainfall lasting
only ten or fifteen minutes did great dam
age to crops. 1t is reported that in three
minutes after the rain began to fall the
water was deep enough in some places to
swim q horse. Ten foot logs were carri-
ed 200 yards and heavy rocks were NOV.
ed some distance. Mrs. McPeake's
spring house was washed away. Our
correspondence gives further particulars
OF storms in other parts Of the county.
The destruction of timber was great and
the elements seemed to have particular
spite against orchards, many of which
were badly injured.
Later reports from the storm smitten
districts kept coming in up to the hour of
going to press. In the 18th district the
storm of Monday was very severe. The
greatest damage was done by hail. On the
farms of W. II. Haws, T. Brabson, DR..
Diouooh uiu u ~. cuCc TIC Wucdt WIS
wholly destroyed and corn fields swept
as smooth as a floor. Hail stones fell as
large as a walnut stripping the foliage
from the trees, breaking window lights
and playing havoc with vegetation gen
orally. Hundreds of panels of fencing
were torn down.
Still later advices from the storm cen,
ter report great damage. From Grays-
burg to Clear Spring Academy the wind
and hail laid the country waste, in 2
strip about a mile wide. We hear of nc
loss of life but great damage 10 crops,
wheat being almost entirely ruined and
corn being badly cut up. Mr.. A. Frak.
er's barn and corn crib were wrecked. A
Dixie chapel the glas, was broken'out Of
all the windows on the west side, and
the same thing happened at the residence
of Mr.. Cam. Powell. On Bleakley creek
the storm is said to have been the mos
severe in the memory of the oldest in
habitant. Fences are knocked dow
wherever'th the storm went.
