THE PUTNEY COLUMN.
Crops Badly Damaged

ny the stverest Hail storm In NIony
Years---J. v. shaw's Experience 10
Years Ago.
The severest hail storm that this town
has experienced in many years occurred
last Friday afternoon, when stones varying
in size from that of cherries in the village
to English walnuts on the hill north of the
village, fell in numbers sufficient to cover
the ground. The hail was accompanied
by a heavy rainfall and at times the wind
blew with great velocity. The storm cane
apparently from the north and spent its
force at the lower part of the village.
Much damage was done to crops, George
H. Johnson, who lives on the Norman
Clough place, being the heaviest loser.
His tobacco crop was entirely ruined and
his corn, potato AMI oaJ crops were badly
cut f. l.. Pierce's tobacco crop was also
ruined and much damage was done in the
fields of George Fuller, NJ. V. Sleeper and
Others in this part of the town and to w.
f. Pierce and George L. Aplin in East
Putney, and along the Putney meadows.
The force of the storm was not felt to a
great extent west of the village. In sew
eral instances corn was broken down in
opposite directions in the same field.
To j. V. Shaw on the Putney meadows
the storm was vivid reminder of the one
10 years ago next month, which virtually
took out of his pocket the profit of four
acres of tobacco. 1t was an unusually
heavy growth and Mr.. Shaw took a deal
of pride in showing it to his neghbors.
His help was all engaged and everything
was in readiness to begin harvesting the
following day, but he was unable to full
fill his contract with his men. A violent
hail storm came up and when it had ceased
four acres of stalks stripped of every leaf
were all that remained of the prize" to-
bacco field.

Grand John Griffith to
to Appear Here on
April 8.
As "MephistO" in "Faust.
His HOme-The Funeral 20 be
Held sunday Afternoon.

Calumet will be favored with a visit by
one of the leading actors of the pres nj
day, in the person OF Grand John Griffith
who will give his artistic delineation oi
Memphisto in Goethe's immortal
Faust, at the Opera House one week
from tomorrow evening,
There can be no room for doubt that
his conception OF the character is emf
nently satisfactory TO all classes of thea
ter-goers IL is noticeable fact that IN
late years, Mr. Griffith's acting has taken
on tiuer polish and bis reading is now
finished TO a degree. Ills Memphisto
differs from those that have been pre-
scented by Others in that IL is pitiless
without beng repellent, subtle in humor
and frightful 10 anger. No rant is notice
able ia Mr. Griffith's delivery, and his
mobile features are well adapted to the
part, yet serve to give bis satanic ma
jssty an expression OF good humored
cynieism that renders him at times al
most acceptable as a friend, il such an
expression may be permitted in discus
sing such an undesirable acquaintance.
Ii is not too much TO say that this sd- !
mirable young actor is entitled TO rank
with the best in his peculiar line OF work |
and in Faust" he seems to have role
most adequately suited to his PERSONAL
ity. The title role il in good hands.
Eugene Moore carries the part this year,
and has well defined conception OF its
possibilities. Marguerite, essayed by
Flora Fairchilds, is also we'll portrayed
and Ada Norton leaves little to be de-
sired a. Martha. The Others OF the CON-
pany are above the average standard OF
ability as compared with similar organi
cations, and the audiences are extremely
cordial IN its reception. The scenic posi-
blities OF the play have received careful
attention and there is little to be desired
on this score.
