Storm Does Damage at Lamont.

This vicinity was. visited Monday
with by far the most destructive storm
of the season. 1t wal q combination of
wind, hail and rain or rather food.

rather disheartening. Large plumbers

reported that a barn north of town was
struck and consumed.

The editor of the Alton Democrat was
the victim of a runaway the other day.
Evidently some of those useles questions
have been asked, for in his last issue he
savagely gives vent to the following:
'Some have asked who was driving the
team. This was a very foolish question
to ask. The man who can drive a team

the other on his head is yet tt be born.
If the public cares to know who had
hold of the lines we can say with author

catgut iddle-strings. We had hold of
them when one brute tried to yank our
corporosity through the ring of the back
band of the harness. We had hold of
them when the other brute tried to Kick
our cold remains through the glass peep
hole in the back curtain. We had hold
of them when the carriage hit the ditch
and when it bounded over the sidewalk
