On Sunday last considerable hail fell In
certain localities in and near Canton, but
the most fell, perhaps, about four miles
north Of Canton on the place of Jimmie
Keith (colored) and his near neighbors.
Keith brought into town Monday morning
a half bushel measure full of hail stones
about the size of the end Of ones finger,
which he said he shoveled up from one place
in his yard. The hail fell there, he said,
four inches deep, and beat the fruit off his
trees and did considerable damage to the
growing crops. This was undoubtedly the
heaviest hail that has fallen in Cherokee in
many years.
Crawfordville Democrat: Last Saturday
morning great many of our people awoke
to find that their chicken roosts had been
disturbed the night before. They spoke OF
their discovery TO their neighbors, and soon
it was found that there were many more
who had had the same experience. On Fri
day night some animal began at the eastern
end of town and going into different
chicken houses in line didn't stop until 1t
had killed over sixty-fiVe chickens. In some
cases the chickens were carried of or eaten
and in others left where they had been
killed. Some one saw the animal and
thought that it was a fox, while others be-
lieved it to be dog belonging to a colored
boy The dog was killed, but many are yet
in doubt as to what it was that was SO
fond of chickens.
