The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-09-04

Assuredly the elements contrived to give
excitement enough last week 10 put all
thoughts of maroons, card parties and
other entertainments aside for the time
being. Fire and water, wind and electric
aty played havoc with our feelings and
wrought them up to the very highest
pitch. Few if any, of us slept on Tues
day night-the bowling of the wind beat
ing in it's mad fury against the houses
the driving, pelting rain, and the roar
of the water pouring through broken sky
fights and unroofed dwellings, only added
to the horror of the city in its total dark
ness With what expressions of delight
the weary watchers saw the gray dawn
of morning break on the skies, but what
was the disappointment when on looking
out upon the dreary world. they found the
rain still pouring in torrents However
"'tis a long lane that has no turning,
and the afternoon found the streets fun of
the youth and flower of the city. Every
one who had an umbrella was out to see
the damage done during The night. How
true is the old adage,
dead,
Oft passes harmless by the hazels' head"
The gigantic oaks centuries old, were ly
ing PROSTATE on the streets like mighty
giants on a battle field, while the flowers
and shrubs in the Park and squares were
little injured, and held up their pretty
bright heads as much as TO say we are
here, some of the sunshine OF life is left;
md Wa
silver lining" and while the entire city is
mourning the loss of its beautiful trees the
flowers are left TO cheer and brighten the
dreary spots made so staringly vacant by
the loss of their neighbors-the trees.
This is the month for our tourists 10 be
thinking of home; already the dread win
ners" of the families are coming in on
every steamer and train, and by the end
of the month the town will have begun
to put on a lively appearance, and even
the memory of the storm will have been
forgotten in the happiness of shaking the
hands of those who have come
Home again, home again,
From a foreign shore;
And o, it makes our hearts rejoice
To see our friends once more"
