The severe hail storm OF Sunday
demolished hundreds OF window psnes
here but did no other damage. In other
parts of the county, however, the people
sustained severe Losses Many lost cattle
aud other stock, fences were washed
away and land badly damaged by the
waters One house iloated of on Crooked
Creek we learn, but the occupants escsp
ed to higher ground. This should teach
a lesson, do not build too near creek.
We were sorry to notice that one of
our items Was misconstrued last week.
We did not allude to the express agent
but the agent OF the l.. & n. and we
again assert that ii said agent refuses TO
handle these jugs the management will
stand by him. This information came
from an official OF the l.. & n, and one
high in authority so there could be no
mistake as TO the policy OF the railroad in
the matter. This is a local option county
and it seems but right that the wishes Of
the people should be respected.
