THREATENED STORM.
Early Sunday Rising the Result

A good many people in this city
got up lots earlier yesterday morn

doing Sunday mornlng-but went
to bed again after the threatened
storm had disappeared. A little
after 3 O'Clock an occasional hail
stone fell and they sound
ed as though they were consider
able larger than the oranges our
merchants are selling at quarter
per dozen. The lightning was al
most incessant. About the only
reassuring feature of the situation
was the lack of "that" black cloud
we all fear so much.
