BEDTIME.

Last year my bedtime was at eight,
And every single night
l used to wish the clock would wait
Or else stay out of sight.
II always seemed to me
The next half hour d be
The incest time of all the day
If mother would agree
But she always shook her head.
And she sort of jumped, and said
Why. it's late-after eight
And it's time you were in bedr'
That clock would always do it's best
To sit all quiet there,
Until was my comfyest
In some big easy chair.
Then It's striking would begin
And I'd tell my motherkin
HOW Id just begun chapter and
II was so int'restin',-
And the end was just ahead
But she usurully said.
NO, it's late-after eight
And It's time to go to bed.
And now my bedtime Is ha'-past.
But yet that old clock does
The same mean trlcks-t's lust as fast.
Or faster than il was
Last night il seemed to me
The next half hour d be
The incest time OF all the day
If mother would agree
But she smiled and shook her head
And she kissed me while she said
why. it's late--ha' past eight
And it's time you went To bed,''

STORM IS FIERCE IN
ITS SWEEP OF CITY
Electric and Thunder Storm
Here.
MUCH DAMAGE WAS INFLICTED
House Struck in City and Carpets
Fired-MuIe Killed in Bunch of ThIr-
teen-House Burned and Many Mi
nor Casualties.

A terrific electric storm passed over
Americus and this entire section dur
ing the early hours of morning yester-
day. Sheets of vivid lightning and
peals of thunder ragged here for two
hours, frightening many people and in-
tiicting damage as well.
The storm came from the southwest,
and was accompanied by heavy rain
and some hail.
Many citizens, fearful of cyclonic
trimmings to the raging tempest, arose
and dressed themselves, thus keeping
anxious vigil until the storm had spent
it's greatest fury.
The Elmore residence on Prince
street was struck by lightning. The
chimney was demolished and the house
filled with SCOT and sulphurous odors.
On the first floor the lightning fred the
parlor carpet and rugs, damaging them
very greatly.
Mr.. Elnlore extinguished the fire,
thus saying the building.
OAp "a WIG liz Os OOuQClI plhutdblOu
bolt struck the barn in which thir-
teen fine mules were enclosed. One
mule was instantly killed, although
none of the others were injured beyond
possible shock. The building was
not damaged at all.
Other minor casualties were reported,
resulting from the storm.
On the j. al. Buchanan place, west
of Americas, a storage barn was struck
by lightning and entirely consumed.
More than 800 worth of wheat and
other forage were stored in the house,
al of which was lost. No other dam
age is reported there.
On the Pryor plantation the entire
side OF negro cabin was ripped # by
the lightning. Strange to relate, the
negro sleeping inside was not awakened
until the rain POURED in upon him.
at Plains lightning struck four hand
some trees in front of the E. r. Stewart
residence, taking them in rapid success
sion and killing all. The storm was
very severe at this point, but no other
damage to person or property has been
reported.
1t is believed that numerous casual
ties, not yet reported. occurred in the
country.
