THE BAPTIST PICNIC
Sunday School Enjoyed an Outing at Booth's-Great Game of
 RaIl

The Sunday School of the First Bap- tise Church gave its annual picnic at Booths Station on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad yesterday and it. was one of the largest attended picnics of the season. Six coaches, each loaded to It's utmost capacity, left .tbe, depot at 9 o'clock and arrived al. athe,4g picnic ground short while afterwards. , The weather until the afternoon was all that could be desired. It was the first time many of the young folk had been to Booths, and they busied them selves looking over the place. The concensus of opinion was that the grounds were all that could be desired as a resort for giving a picnic. The day Hes immensely enjoyed by all.-A bounteous dinner was served and there was an abundance of ice water and lemonade. The older persons entered into the spirit of the day with the same interest and enthusiasm as the young folk. Shoe races. sack races, peanut hunts and various other amusements were continually in progress.
 The most interesting feature of the program was game of baseball be- tween the team of MT. W, B. Da- ViusOH CldSS dEO OI MT. d. U. MlleS s class. Mir. Andrew James Miller was selected as umpire and the players thought his Christian names quite a re- ligious acquisition to the nomenclature of the baseball world. The game was called, and the Miller proceeded to grind out decisions. Many star plays were made. The players of the big League would have looked on with envy if they could have seen the game pr. c. L: Boyd played left field. He also tried to play ball. He made the sensational play of the day. A long | fly was pounded out in his direction and just as the Doctor was about tC fold the leather sphere in hts embract 1 he lost his hold. on terra f1rma. H. l also lost the ball. One cf the ladie
 standing near noticed the umpir l standing in the centre of the diamond away from the plates and she rem arket that "the umpire was off his base. l This reflection on the umpire's profes
 sional ability was too much and h
 rushed to the plate. picked up the ba
 and said he wanted to make thre
 strikes and get out-of the game. B,
 unanimous decision the game wa
 awarded to MT. Davidson's class.
 In the afternoon heavy rain fell
 but the picnicers were housed in tn pavilion and in the cars. The trail
 on its return reached the city abou | 6:30 o'clock.

HEAVY THUNDERSTORM
HARD RAIN FELL YESTERDAY
 AFTERNOON.
House Struck by . Lightning on South Hull Street and Damag- ed--A Rise in Rivers
 is Expected.

There was . hard rain. thunder and hail storm in Montgomery and vicin- ity yesterday afternoon. which con- tinued for more than an hour.
 4 little after o'clock 1t began to thunder and lightning and then to rain and during the storm hall fell in con siderable quantities. There were sev- erai piercing and startling claps of thunder. accompanied with vivid flashes of lightning.
 Lightning struck the new house next to the Street Railway bridge on Hull Street, on the site of the late South Montgomery Methodist Church. Two new houses have recently been built there and one of them is occupied by MT. Charles H. Hancock. The house struck by lightning was unoccupied | MT. R. F. Scott, General Manager of the Montgomery Street Railway had taken refuge on the front porch of the house and MT. Hancock and another gentleman were there with him. The bolt struck the south corner of the house in front and completely sEat- tered the wall running clear through the ceiling along to the tafter in the rear and glancing off to the ground. The gentlemen on the .veranda were shocked and somewhat burned and Mrs. Hancock. who was in the adjoln- ing house, with her baby in her arms. was burned and shocked and had a most peculiar sensation, which is in- variably felt from lightning shocks.
 There were rumors that g. man was killed near the city. but the report could not be verified, ~er" --. . The rain was very heavy and the wind and han no doubt did consider able damage to growing crops and Vegetables.
 The electric display resulted Ia some trouble to the Street Railway Com pany as several motors were turned out.
 During the thunderstorm the rain fall was quite excessive, nearly an inch (.93) falling from 4:15 to ,5:3o D. m. Of this. half an inch fell in about twenty minutes. The wind was also quite brisk for while, registering a velocity of 24 miles per hour from the south. Fortunately the wind soon moderated and no serious damage was done. though the lightning was quite sharp and near during the height of the storm. ....
 It is thought the rainfall was nnite general over the State. and, while ae was beneficial to growing crops, it may augment the present rise in the river to such an extent as to overflow some of the very low lands, many of which might have escaped had not these rains come just as they did.
 During the thunderstorm the tenn perature dropped about IS degrees. j.

A SEVERE CASE
Of Catarrh of The Stomach
 Cured bv Pe-ru-na. E.

Mr.otto Jordan, Argos, Ind., writesl.:
 "I can state to you that all the symp- toms of catarrh have disappeared since commenced taking Peruna, and I shall give it all the praise. Itook four bottles of the medicine. For long time before I took the medicine felt dull and stupid, was subject to sick stomach and dizzi- ness, Since the first bottle have not been troubled with my stomach ana have been greatly benefited all around. < I think anybody troubled with catarrh { would be benefited by the use of your ! medicine. Lotto Jordan. x
 The Secret of Pure Blood.
 No one can be troubled long with in-. digestion and have pure blood, for, how ever careful one may be in the selection of proper food, if it is not properly di- gested it will not furnish the blood with pure materials. ...
 For this condition Peruna is never failing remedy. It cleanses the blood by correcting digestion, and gives tone to the whole system by increasing the nu- tritiye value of the food. "Spring fever," as it is sometimes called, which produces a tired-out, sleepy feeling, and inability to do much mental or physical work, IS the result of a sluggish digestion, and no blood medicine will be of any use what ever unless it is able to rectify the inn paired digestion. The great popularity that Peruna has is due to the fact thatin all such cases it. at once corrects digestive Arrangements and enriches the blood by purifying this very important source of that vital fluid.
