 u;.o nross S;ft;nc,. rhic oaofiou xvao visited by hard rain and wind that lasted all day Monday and Monday night. Sugar cane was blown flat to the ground and some fencing blown down. The storm was something to remind us all of the awful Septem Der storm of about twelve years ago, but we have heard of no serious damage done yet.

They are now negotiat- ing for a stand pipe and an electric light plant, which will be used around the fer tiliZer, gin, compress and oil mill plants. A few more Folmars and Luverne would grow out of it's own brooches.
 Eutaw Whig and Observer: Len Steele, colored boy about IS or 19 years old, as- saulted Felix steele, son of E. B. Steele, from behind with club as he passed him. MT. Steele was on his way home in com- pany with MT. Watrous at the time, who was also struck at by tbe boy. The blow given Mir. Steele was was @ serious one, as he was rendered unconscious and remained so several hours. One ear was badly cut. We are glad to say that he is recovering. The negro made his escape and is still at large.
 Tuskaloosa Journal: Msss Hawkins, a young lady pupil of the Alabama Confer. ence college in this city, was accidentally shot by J. L.. Mckinney, who was in pursuit of mad dog, last evening about o'clock. Mir. Mckinney fired at the dog with 32- calibre Winchester rifle, the ball striking some hard substance was defected from it's course and struck Miss Hawkins, iutlicting painful but not dangerous wound in the thigh. We are glad to know that the young lady is rapidly recovering from her injuries, and hope she will be en- tirely recovered soon. Young Mir. McKin- ney, who did the shooting, is engaged on the government works and is highly res- pected young man, and while the wound ing of the young, lady was purely accI- dental, he deeply deplores the unfortunate circumstance. In the excitement the mad dog got away and is still at large.
