Des ructiye Hail storms.

This has been Il season of unusually
destructive hail and wind storms in
Grant parish. Three weeks ago u
hail storm started in at the north
west corner of the parish near Mont
gomery, and passing in a southeast
erly course took in the town of Pol
lock, doing a great deal of damage to
the crops and gardens in it's track.
In some places the hailstones are re-
ported to have fallen to the depth of
three inches, and laid on the ground
for three or four days. At intervals
two or three other hail storms have
occurred since that time, the most re-
markable being the one that occurred
last Sunday about midnight. Hail
stones fell as big as walnuts, and
some of them were as big as a hen
egg. One party picked up three that
filled large size tea cup. Fortunate
ly only small number of big hail
stones fell, or the damage would have
been very great. AS it was, many
window panes we're broken, and
number of birds were killed by the
hail. The crops do not seem to have
been greatly damaged in this section.
Along the railroad, from Pineville to
the tank at the Darro bridge, we no
ticed that the wind broke off and blew
down great many trees the same
night of the storm, which seems to
bave been much more violent in that
than in Colfax and vi
cinity.

The careless use of firearms is crimi-

this respect. A few weeks ago, as
Foster, the little son of Mr.. j. H. Nc

by rife bullet and shattered to
