DAMAGE DONE IN
AND NEAR DAWSON,

Hail Three Feet Deep--Crops Entirely De-
stroyed and Hogs Killed by It--work
of the Lightning aud the Wind.
Friday afternoon Dawson experienced
the biggest and most destructive rain
and hail storm ever known here.
The damage done is estimated up in
the thousands of dollars, and the losses
of some individuals are severely felt.
The clouds We're seen gathering about
? o'clock, and in little while the rain
began falling in torrents, hail as large as
partridge eggs fell fast and furious, and
the lightning flashed and the thunders
roared
This continued for an hour or more,
and as much rain and HAL probably
never before aell during the same length
of time.
The hail began falling just northeast
of the city add covered an area extend
ing east about two miles and south about
four miles
Everything IN the shape Of vegetation
was entirely destroyed, AMI fields il
which were growing and promising
crops are now almost as bare of vegeta.

principal sufferers are L. A. Lowrey, L.
A. Hatcher, J. J. Kennedy, B. F. Mel
ton, J. T. Cannon, 7. NJ. Harper and
numbers Of Others, and they are now
blowing up their entire cotton lands and
planting again.
In the city a great many Of the gar
dens were almost totally ruined by the
hail
After the storm was over hail was seen
in the fence corners and in the woods
three feet deep by actual measurement
and at places in the public road il was
all of two feet deep. and even as late as
Sunday it was two feet deep in the
woods. Hundreds of people went out a
mile east Of the city Sunday 70 see the
sight, and great many gathered hail
stones and carried them home with
them. The hail has not entirely melted
yet, and may now be found in She ds
PAGES mill pond, a mile from the city,
was covered with hail that had frc zen
into a solid sheet of ice six inches thick.
A number Of parties have reported
chickens killed by the hail, and six hogs
were killed by it on Nh j. T. Cannon's
place.
