by disastrous and destructive tornado Sun

t.y haze had hard enough time with the
bad weather, bat this cycloue IN that part OF
the country has put The finishing touch to
their discomfort and distres5 about the Losses
they bave sustained this summer. The tor.
nado first struck the place of George Sollerp,
which Is three miles from the mouth OF Cur

truck for market. The wind picked 10 for
ty bsekets OF tomatoes. aud soon the fishes
and crabs Ia ths bay had their daily meal
seasoned s!th tomato cateup. Mr.. Boone
lost the whole forty baskets. The damage
around Rock Creek Yves aiso very severe.
