Mr.. Murray is very we'll pleased
with his position. He mas fewer work

badly damaged. Half of a me-

Baptist church, and a window at
the Star Roller mills. Portions of
the roofs on the postotfice, -four

ings were damaged by the wind.
The glass in the front door at j. E.
Keith home was shattered. The rain
was as heavy as was ever known
here. Driven by the hard wind
it made its way into buildings in
the business district through even
the smallest crevices and where
doors and windows were closed.
The sewers were soon filled and
the streets and sidewalks were
flooded.
The most remarkable thing
about the storm was the fact that
it missed some towns altogether,
though it was severe at points only
a few miles away. Stephensport
got only shower and no wind
and Hardinsburg did not get any
of the storm.
The storm was severe at Bowl

the close of an excessively hot day
and gave some relief.
