The St. Peter Herald is authority
for the following: Deacon" Don
ham has leased the Worthington
Globe and will take charge of it
September 22nd. He will run it as
an independent paper with slight
leanings toward Bryan. The "Dea-

Herald at various times during the
past, and the writer can say to the
people of Worthington that he will
give them an up-to-date paper. He
is one of the oldtime printers, a keen
and spicy wri'er, and We bespeak
for him SUCCESS in his new under
taking. He will move his family

During the fierce thunder nd
rain stor n that visitetfthls section O
Mobiles county on Saturday, lightning
struck the house on what is known
as the old j. w. Benson farm, in the
northeast corner dissection "a, Gra-.
ham Lake twp, about two miles
southeast of Kinbrae. The house
has been unoccupied for some time
but when the lightning struck it
there were Frank, John, Louie Lam

working near and had taken shelter
from the storm. The,lightning came
down the chimney, within two feet
