New YORK, Aug. 0.-The rumblings
of the expected storm among the thou

who remained would be taken care OF
and amply protected, as we'll as the men
who came to work for the road. The

The most terrific hail and wind storm
ever Witnessed by our people passed
through this section ON Wednesday after.
noon, 14th inst. Fhe cotton and corn
were beatea into The ground. The corn
will grow out again, but the cotton is
ruined and will have to be replanted
On Mr.. L. w. Longs upper place the hal
seemed to do the most damage. There
the shingles were torn from the house, the
trees stripped Of all their leaves, and all
of the chickens were killed. On Mr.. John
r. Henderson's. place all the glass were
broken out OF the windows of the dwelling
house on the side from which the storm
came. On Mr.. Mig. Williams place a
small tenant house was blown down.
The roofs of several outbuildings were
also blown of, and many trees uprooted.
Many persons think they are as badly
damaged as those who were SO unfortu-
nate as to be in the track Of the cyclone
which passed through this section several
years ago. We do not think the damage
was as great as then. The path Of the
storm seemed to be about two and one.
half miles wide. In the Fairview section
all of the growing crops were ruined. we
learn the storm also did some damage in
and around Central.
We think the committee of arrange.
ments should prosecute the disturbers OF
the recent pic mic at Slabtown. There
were nine or ten shots fired, which caused
stampede among the people, who ran in
every direction.
Mr. Bailey Pepper had the misfortune
of getting his foot painfully mashed few
dogs ago by mule falling on it.

lady aged nineteen years, whose parents
reside in Yolo County, California, died
under peculiar circumstances. A few
weeks ago she was visiting friends in San
Francisco, and while there had her ears
pierced. Shs vas very particular to urge
that white silk be inserted in the pune
lure, but the thread finally used contain
ed some eoloring matter. A day or so
after the operation Miss Boyd returned to
her parents home in Yolo. Within q
few days she experienced soreness about
the ears, but did not regard the matter as
of much consequence. One day she and
her sister happened to be out in shower,
and Miss Boyd took cold. The effect of
the exposure began to manifest itself in
her ears, already swollen and sore. Her
ears swelled rapidly, the swelling extend.
ing TO her face, and finally one of the eyes
was closed completely. Erysipelas set in,
blood poisoning followed, and then it was
evident that her life was beyond the pow.
er of saving.

The early planters have cotton hoed and
plowed, but the sgrass" is thar also.
We have had great deal Of rain for tho

about cotton seed not coming up this

many nice large stalks.
