thing so terrible. It can not be de-
scribed. The hail stricken district is
about four miles long and from one

across. There are many people left
in very, very destitute circumstances,
without any prev sicns, no work to do
and nothing for the horses and cat
tie. The loss is estimated at $50, 600.
Many Of these families need help and
need 1t now. Any one wishing to
contribute to the storm sufferers will
kindly send contributions to the E -

given 20 the most needy ones. Ep
worth is in Greenwood County.
