The Week In Society.

If kisses left scars on peachy cheeks
And lips of carmine hue.
If kisses left scars like visible stars
Pray, what could poor girl 90!
If kisses left scars on dainty maids
OF proud and naughty mein-
We could see the cruel tell-tale marks
OF every one, ween.
Some kisses leave scars upon the heart
Where they never, alasi are seen.
The heart beats on in the same old way
Meath the silk or satins sheen
If kisses left scars on every face
OF man and maid alike.
We'd see more scars in a few short hours
Than were seen at Gettysburg hght.
There were a number of affairs not
of a social nature crowded into the
past week, which might have diverted
attention from the frivolities of fash
ion, but the six days nevertheless con-
: stituted notable period from social
point of view. The number of June
weddings is increasing, and gives evil
dence that the popularity of the month
for nuptial affairs is being Maintained.
The intense heat somewhat affected the
attendance, and marred the enjoyment
of festivities during the early part OF
the week. There will be more wed
dings during the coming week, as well
as outings and entertainments OF var
ious kinds. and a number of COM
mencements are on the calendar.

terrific storm that was almost a tor
nado swept Statesvlle and that entire

everything I'm its path. In Statesville the
Ashe Brothers tobacco-factory and the
large farmers warehouse were blown
down. The Associated Reformed Pres
byterian and the Baptist churches were
unroofed and badly damaged by water
and debris. Numerous barns and out
houses were blown down. and fences, tel
egraph poles, and trees were Frustrated.
At Ruffin the ground was covered with
hail, and the telegraph poles were snap
ped off and blown across the Southern
railway track, delaying trains. Numerous
small houses and trees were demolished.
5. II. Harris. who returned tonight from
Mocksville, says the storm was the most
terrific in years along the new railroad
line 10 Winston. At one place lightning
stripped a big oak tree clean Of its bark
Trees were entirely denuded of branches
and leaves by the terrific hail, and grow
ing crops were destroyed. He says he
saw the valleys covered with masses of
hail an hour after the storm. The storm
caused many thousands OF dollars dam
age 10 buildings, timber, telegraph and
railroad lines, and growing crops.

PETERSBURG, VA, June 1O.-(SpeciaD
The body of Fireman William Pool, who
was killed by the wreck of the Norfolk
and Western freight train at Kilby's
Lake Bridge near Suffolk, was brought to
this city this morning for interment.
The bodies of Engineer w. A. Clayton
ana the negro brakeman. name I'M
known, who were also killed at the same
time. were taken up to Crewe. Poor ;
body was much mangled. 9nd his death
must have been almost instantaneous.
lie was caught between the engine ana
tender and crushed across the breast ana
hips, and scalded about the head. lie
was unmarried, and leaves a mother and
sister here, who were largely de-
pendent upon his labors for their support.
lie was for number of years employed
az the Petersburg Iron Works as engi-
neer. and resigned that position few
weeks ago to 50 on the railroad. His
sudden death, under such sad circum-
stances. is a great shock TO his mother,
as well as 10 his friends here.
The death of Engineer Clayton was not
SO sudden and much more painful. lie
was caught and held fast in the wreck
of the engine, and was Tor a time ex-
poscd 10 the intense heat of the escaping
steam. 1t is said that in this condition
he lived for several hours. unable to
extricate himself, and his friends unable
TO relieve him. beyond giving him water
by means Of a sponge. lie was conscious
and brave TO the last, and sent many
messages Of endearment to his wife and
children Mr. Clayton VAS native, and
for many years resident, on Chesterfield
county. but latterly has resided I'm Crewe.
He was one of the most careful, reliable,
and trusted men IN the employment OF
the railroad company.
The report OF the death OF Conductor
Sewers. in charge of the train, happily
proves untrue. lie was AT the tlme IN
his caboose at the rear. and was unin-
jurcd.

occurred. ran back TO Suffolk. through
