the crops were not damaged to any vel
great extent though some of the cotto
was hurt and the fruit was also SOM
what injured. One gentleman said th;
the ground seemed frozen when he ru
his harrow over his cotton early in tt
morning-other places seemed to ha,
escaped lightly. In the truck farms
the neighborhood the damage did n
seem to amount to much. One of OF
truck farmers said he did not think
strawberries were hurt or other veg

the houses or high up and resembled
slight sleet more than q frost. That
was not perceptible much on the grour
