Dresden, Tenn, Sept. "a terrific
storm broke over this section yester-
day, spreading devastation in its
wake. Barns were blown over,
houses carried aawy and fences laid
low. So far as reported no lives
were lost, although there were sew
eral narrow escapes. The storm was
accompanied by a terrific rain and

Not only rain but hail fell in large
quantities in many sections of the
corn belt. The damage done by hail
to tobacco and other crops can hardly
be estimated. One man reports the
total destruction of fifteen acres Of
tobacco just ready to be cut Another
reports several fields in his com
munity damaged so badly that 1t can
hardly be used. The storm extended
throughout Weakley and adjoining
