Free from the storm that ragged here
for about one hundred and ten hours.
Norfolk has resumed her well-earned
title OF being the most active city on
the South Atlantic Coast. An old say
ing with the people of Norfolk is that
I'VE get Il taste of everything that
comes along" While this may be so.
it is with thanllfulness we quote the
departure of the storm and the little
damage it did us. When we take into
consideration the terrible havoc
wrought in other places il visited, and
little damage it did here. we have an
other proof that Norfolk is; the best
place in the world TO live in. Beyond
the delay of steamers running in and
out OF the port. and the continuous
downpour OF rain that has kept people
in doors, is all the business men OF
Norfolk complain of.
