ALMOST a TRAGEDY.
Thrilling Story Of Missing Doorkey
and the Results.

\ certain young lady Of this city VIII
i'm the future probably keep her latch
key tied around her neck with n piece
of silk cord IT, the lesson learned from
q recent experience is kcrt in mind.
1t Is learned that the lady was called
upon one evening recently by young
gentleman from Augusta, and tie
pleasure Of an evening walk was en-
joycd. The house was left unoccupiri.
the other members of the family being
out of town, and the care of the door
key was left with the young man. VIII
placed it in enc of his pockets On re
turning from the walk and looking at
his watch, the caller found he had just
time to say 4 hurried good night"
and make 4 break to catch the last
car for home. This was done ana the
young lady's key still had its place III
his trousers pocket. The fact of no
one being at home and the house
closed against any entrance without
the necessary key made the outlook for
the lady an unpleasant one, but it was
overcome by her calling on a kind
hearted neighbor who furnished shell
ter for the night. 1t was further learned
, that the key was returned by mail. the
next morning, and with the exception
of an occasional remembrance of the
affair from friends the young lady has
let the matter drop.

ture. Thisi is the midst OF the fodder-sav-
ing season, formerly one Of the most im-
portant working periods on the farm,
when the "tops" of the cornstalks were
cut off and the BLADES pulled, the tops
stacked and the blades carefully cured
and stored in barns to furnish proveuder
for horses and cattle during the winter.
For some years, however, the lack of la
Dor has wrought change in farming
methods in this section, and now, instead
OF saving fodder. many farmers either
leave it for the winds of autumn to blow
away or cut the stalks off close to the
ground and make "long fodder" for the
use of cattle. In Kent County the far
mer continues the old method Of cutting
the ''tops and pulling the ''blades." The
prevalence Of epidemic diseases among
farm stock has been claimed, however, to
be due to the use of "long fodder" and
this is not now in favor for feeding pur-
poses. Most farmers use hay largely for
feeding stock, either raising it themselves
or buying it during the winter, and the
tomato crop has taken the place of the
fodder season.

VIVID LIGHTNING AND CRASHES OF
THUNDER

At few minutes before three O'Clock
Saturday afternoon a storm broke over
this community that old residedts de-
clare was without parallel in their mem
ory. Fortunately, however, little damage
was done in this section, but in the yici-
nifty OF Blackb bird the storm took on the as
pect of a tornado. The day had been
exceedingly warm and had the appear
ance Of being one of the hottest days Of
the season. In the afternoon an insight
ticant looking cloud arose out Of the north
west, but little thoughtwas given as towhat
was back Of it until peal Of thunder and
the runnbles Of the inky black cloud that
was rolling up like hinge breaker, caused
the crowd that had gathered at the pri-
mary election to look to the safety of the
teams present. A moment later the
storm broke with vivid lightning and
crashes of thunder The huge whirlwind
swooped down, raising havoc with teams
and carriages. There was wild rush foI
shelter and many were unable to find it.
and were deluged with the torrents Of rain.
OF growing crops, corn suffered the great
est injury. In many cases it looks as
though huge roller had passed over it
