Storm at West Springs.

A very severe wind and rain storm
visited the West Springs section last
Friday evening, about 4 p. M, ac-
companied by heavy thuEder and
bright flashes of lightning. Consid-
cradle damage was done to crops and
fruit trees. At Mr.. John Lawson's
the top of a chimney was blown Off
and several Of the bricks fell down
the chimney and came near falling on
his child in tho cradle near the fire
place.
At Jerry Jeter's place there were
number Of peach trees blown up by
the roots and one house moved from
its foundation. Cotton is badly
beaten with the hail that fell during
the storm.
At the B. w. Lee place two fine
apple trees were blown down also
some twenty or thirty peach trees,
some Of them being carried 5 yards
from where they stood. The track
Of the storm seemed to be from one
mile to one and half miles in width
West Springs section has had bad
time of it the last few months with
her fire bugs, wind storms and floods
of rain.
Mr.. NJ. B. Lee informs us that he
has not been able to pillow but I days

finest wheat crops in that sec

of the wheat raised. A great deal Of
it was ruined by sproutipg in the
shocks. Many of the farmers have
not yet been over their cotton the
first time with the hoe. The bottom
corn is firing and the blades turning
red. 1t has been so wet that it is
impossible to do anything with it.
MIR. Lee says he has not touched his.
One farmer was determined to re-
plant, so he pulled off his shoes and
took stick with him. He would
stick a hole in the wet ground drop
the corn in and tramp the dirt over
the grains, that is the way he replant-
ed. He deserves success.
Some Of them are contemplating
turning out some OF their cotton land,
one having already turned out 30acres.
The loss to the wheat crop by the
recent rains is estimated to be 30
per cent. The stubble land will be
planted IL they can get to it with
plow in time. Mr.. Lee says that the
wheat in the shocks that he capped
did not sprout half as bad as that
which was left unprotected, and his
advice hereafter will be for all to cap
their wheat when they stack it. We
sympathize with our friends in this
section in their misfortune, but hope
they have all, Notwithstanding the
disadvantages with which they had
to contend, made plenty of wheat to
do them.

Restless Americanos.

All winter long, and into this, the
second month of the violet-scented
springtime of Mexico, we have heard
two distinctive sounds-the click Of
the kodak and the "taconeo," or tick

girl, marching through San Francisco,
Profesa and Plateros streets. And still
they come, this fitting army of rest
less Americanos, male and female, as
the Lord created them, and instinct
