Earthquake Shock Felt in
Darlington Monday NIGHT.

Monday night shortly after il
O'Clock the people of darlington
who were awake or light Sleep
ers experienced a slight quaking
of mother earth. The vibrations
were from north to south and
shook the houses as if large dog
had trotted across the floor. In
some houses where the founda-
tions were faulty or the sleepers
insecurity fastened the shock
was more distlnct and severe
enough to rattle the dishes on the
tables. The shock lasted about
two seconds. Reports from 9TH
er points in Kentucky are about
the same as the above.
