High Winds and Deep Thunder.

Thursday night witnessed the
severest wind, rain and thunder
storm that has visited this place in
years. The wind was at times, ter
rife, reaching velocity Of forty-f7e
or Gfsy miles an hour, and the bottom
of the clouds seemed to have drop
ped out losing their accumulation OF
waters and it looked as if the world
was again to be submerged in the
deluge of food. The thunder was
rumbling, deep toned and angry and
the lightning was vivid and sharp.
but the warning elements quieted
down and peaceful calm followed
the disturbance. No damage to life
or property has been reported, but
many citizens were greatly alarmed
and walked the floor in fear and
prayer during the prevalence of the
storm.
