DAMAGE FROM THE STORM.
A SEVERE GALE ON THURSDAY
AFTERNOON.
Blew Down Houses and Did Great
Damage to Growing Crops. The Barnes
House Struck by Lightning.

VOSO StAWSA Wy
A severe rain and wind storm swept
this section last Thursday.
The greatest damage was done about
four miles north of the CITY, where the
storm almost reached the magnitude of
a cyclone and everything was swept
in its path or else leveled with the
earth. On Mr.. w. Fl. Lundy's place
tenant house was blown to the ground
and its contents scattered, while
throughout that community fences
were blown away and much damage
done to the cotton and corn fields.
Great damage was also done to timber
and orchards. Hundreds of bushels of
fruit were blown from the trees. while
in several places whole orchards and
confields We're laid fat upon the earth.
Hail half as large as hen eggs fell i'm
some places and literally covered the
ground.
In Dawson the Barnes House was
struck by lightning and considera-
bly, damaged. The Notwithstanding
OF both stories was torn off in front.
while the damage to the north end was
equally as great. No one was hurt.
but the escape of Mrs. r. L. Barnes
was narrow one. At the time of the
bolt she was lying on bed in the room
where the greatest damage was done,
and the fact that she was not killed is
miraculous.
The injury to the building is esti-
mated at $500.

"In the Arms Of St rangers.

From the Savannah Press.
Several papersin Georgia have noticed
the pathetic incident which happened in
Savannah the other day, the death of a
little infant in the arms of stranger in
the waiting room of the Contra railway
passenger station. At this time of
year when the season is so trying upon
little children, when death claims them
by the scores, numerous notices meet
the eye of bereavements of families.
There are many empty cradles and shad-
owed households. There are anxious
bedsides where fevered lips and futter-
ing pulses tell of deep suffering and un-
certain results. Little lives hang by
slender threads and tiny forms droop
upon the mothers breast until one can
almost "feel the brush of an angels
wing"
Bat here was little sufferer whose
mother had already been called to the
great beyond. It's relatives were carry
ing it to new home Change of air was
sought as a solace for suffering. Death
overlook it by the way. Without a
mothers care or single comfort of
home, probably before physician could
be summoned, in a public depot, with
steaming trains and hurrying passengers
surrounded by all the hustle and clang
of modern travel, the little Child closes
its eyes and falls to rest in the arms of
strangers. 1t is pathetic picture. But
in all this crowd of modern travel there
can be no doubt that at least one little
passenger, without guide or strength,
has reached its home in safety. bow
few of us, after all, find the places we
set out to fiud How much more COM
plete is the voyage of any man than that
of this tired child whose '1ittle life is
rounded with dreamless sleep?"
