hail was about as large as medium sized
marbles which fell thick and fast Orch
ards were almost stripped OF leaves and
fruit, and in some places all the window
glass on south side of houses in track of
storm were broken. The crops were badly
damaged and the ground covered with
green leaves. The worst of the storm was
on Mr.. Tom Whites place. His cotton
was riddled, there being only about one
stalk in five hundred that had any leaves
on 1t. His corn was served nearly as sad.
He showed us some Of the wheat that had
| passed through the storm, and from the
top Of the head to half way down it was as
completely threshed as any machine
could have done. We saw also some
apples which was peppered all over and
| he had one that had thirteen bruises on it.
Chickens were killed, and negro who
was caught in it even complains that his
head feels sore from the hail that struck
him after his hat blew off. Among those
who sustained losses were Mr.. R. R.
Pe.ree, D. V T. Hubbard, Webb Florence,
Tinsley and Mr.. Cheney.

THURSDAY the 3Oth ult., was the day set
apart for memorial exercises over the
graves of the federal soldiers buried in the

also with the exercises on the programme.
About twenty or thirty of the members O.

came up on the regular morning train.
They had two dray loads of choice flow
ers, and with these decorated the graves
and also placed flags on every third grave
They then went in body to the Confed-
crate Cemetery and decorated the graves
of our dead. So magnanimous an act
on the part of those whom our soldiers
fought, is strong proof of the fact that
we are once more united people

bell and went into Browns field and began |
ringing it. Brown got up and went out in

drive her out he got mad and said he was
going back and get his shot gun and pep.
