ABOUT the time the tornado was
destroying life and property in parts
of Lafayette county last Monday, a
very heavy hail storm was raging
about two miles north and parallel
with it, but travelingin the opposite
direction, so those who were caught
in it tell us. Some of the halI
were eight inches in circumference
on actual measurement. The hal
storm is known to have Travelled
fully one hundred miles, confning
itself to about a mile in width.
