The storm forming in the Indies was
duly advertised by wire on Wednesday,
and Wednesday night o stiff breeze
from the Coast with gusts and
rain satisfied us that the autumnal
gales were duly upon us. Con-

and life in 1903 were wildly recalled.
We rejoice to note that advices come
that the damage has not been serious.
The orange crop in Florida and the
rice in the Coast Counties of Georgia
