MIR, William Grady died last Fri
day night. very suddenly. He had
had somo acute spells once year for
several years, but on this occasion
had been in very good health, except
dull feeling on Friday afternoon,
and nothing serious was the matter
witn him, apparently. MIR. Grady
was Il plain, uuassuming, inoffensible,
poor, but respectable man, a good
and kind ncighbor, and had not an
enemy that ont ever heard of. He
served N the artillery service in the
clviI WAY, and it has been handed
down 20 me hat he was brave and
daring soldier, and served his coun-
try with devotion. He had become
enicebled by age and was drawing
pension as a reward for the ser.
vices rendered his country in the
prime of robust manhood. I knew
Mr.. Grady well, liked to talk with
him, he had retentive memory
and could interest me with war time
tales, and things that happened in
his young days, and everybody liked
him. lie was buried at the old Cane
Creek graveyard, many people be-
ing present to pay their last tribute
Of respect. His family was rendered
all the service necessary, by friends,
in this sad time.
The crops in the storm beaten
section are looking badly. The
cotton and corn was blown about

almost like q pond, pnd this was
followed by four nights with a
minimum temperature of. from 44
to II degrees, which was detri-
mental to cotton, and the conse-
I0ences are, it looks about as bad
as one ever saw young cotton. 1t
is nearly impossible to plow it, so
as to save it. Several asked ma

that in this section, it was to crops
and land, the crops receiving the
greatest. The track of storm being
about six miles wide would do much
more damage than one confined to
a path OF. two or three hundred yards.
Of course those who lost homes lost
doubly. Then orchards were heavy
sufferers. Much timber is blown
down. Large trees are piled about
wherever there was many trees.
Although the rain guage caught only
l.13 inch ofrain it is very evident
that there was more, probably thrice
as much, but the wind blew it so
slanting that it struck the side of the
receiver instead of the top. Every
where there is level or ''sway" in
the land it is covered with sediment
) of mud as if stream had been over
it. In more hilly land it made many
, clean sweeps down to the subsoii.
T | have seen several low places where
water ponded knee deep on de-
pressed places. The farmers loss is
heavy, 1t is strange though many
, people never count farmers loss as
much, but that it is his portion, and
when the wind-up and gathering
f time comes he is charged with poor
farmers, bad management, slovenly
, work or laziness. HEY DENVER. :
