augusta is great place for cigars" said
a Lewiston commercial men Saturday, land
there is good deal of rivalry between the
manufacturers in Lewiston and Bangor as to
who shall get the trade. Most of the medi-
UNI cigars smoked here are made in this
State; only the very best and the worst come
from away. This winter there will be big
boom in the business. The legislators them
selves don't buy very many, but the lobbyists
get them in quantity and most of them trade
directly with us.

Storms in the West.

CHICAGO, July 5.-The telegraph service
west of Chicago is almost at standstill. 1t
indicates that the storms of the past few days
eliminated last night in one of the most wide
spread and severest known for years.
A tremendous rain and windstorm swept
over parts of Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa
during Tuesday night and yesterday. Trees
and fences were blown down, and great damage
done the growing crops. In Iowa many horses
and cattle in pastures near wire fences were
killed by lightning.
PITrsBURG, July ga destructive storm
visited Youngstown, Ohio, last night, washing
out culverts and damaging streets. The
tracks of the New York, Pennsylvania and
Ohio and the Ashtabula and Pittsburg Roads
were washed out in many places, and trains
badly delayed. James Davey and family were
overtaken by the storm q few miles from
Youngstown, and he attempted to ford a
stream with four year old son in his arms,
The current was too strong, however, and the
child was swept away and drowned.
CLINTON, Iowa, July 5.-There was cloud
burst last evening in Scott, Jones, Linn,
Clinton and Jackson counties. Rain fell in
torrents, washing bridges away and flooding
roads in some places ten feet in depth, and
beating scoops into the earth. At Balmond
a store building and number of residences
we're shattered. Near Ottumwa the burst
came so suddenly upon the crowds of people
celebrating in groves that thousands were
drenched before reaching shelter. Much
damage was done by prostrating growing
grain, and especially oats. A hailstorm in
the south part of the county injured the apple
crop.
ELIZABETH, ILL.,, July 5.-By the heavy
wind and deluge of rain last night the cut of
the Chicago, St. Paul and Kansas City Rail-
way, as it enters the tunnel nine miles west
Of here, vas washed IN, covering the railway
track ten feet deep with clay for a distances OF
two hundred feet. Hundreds of men are at
work clearing the track.

Correspondence OF the Democratic AdVocate.l
McINTosH, June 25, 1888.
MEssRs. EDITORS We'll, here we are;
harvest is past and we are trying the shade at
95o and find it pleasant, but don't go out into
the sunshine for an hour or two yet. The sun
is hot, the sand is hot, and you would be
hotter in very few minutes, but the ''coons"
can stand it; in fact, the hotter the sun shines
the better they like it.
Our rainy season generally commences
about this time, after which we do not have
so much hot weather; but it seems to be de-
layed this season. We have good corn crop
this year, and it is beginning to ripen. Roast
ing ears all gone, or, as the crackers style 1t,
mutton corn"
The vegetable crop was good and prices
remunerative. Truckers are on top again,
and their faces wear q contented smile, and
most of them are investing their gains in fresh
hummock lands; showing clearly that they be-
lieve there is future for Florida, and bright
one at that. There are about so acres being
cleared now on the section adjoining us. sec
ton II, I. IL, s. R. 81, E., and most of it
is held by parties in 10acre lots. By planting
time there will be about one hundred acres OF
new hummock cleared and fenced, most of
which will be planted in orange trees and used
as truck farm while the trees are small, and
some will be used for tobacco, as the weed is
growing in favor here. A neighbor says he
will plant four or FIVE acres next season. and
/ hear talk of others planting also: l will
send you little pamphlet along with this,
telling you what we have and what was made
at tobacco growing before the war. We can
do quite as well now, making some allowance
for the difference in prices now and then.
We can grow tobacco that sells close along
with Cuba's best. Yours truly, w. Il.
