A Young Cyclone.

Struck this vicinity last Thuas,
day at about 8 p. m. threatening
to do severe damage, but so far
nothing of a serious nature is re-
ported, with the exception of an
old church building standing on
the farm of Jno. Mudloff miles
west of town being thrown off its
foundation and wrecked. The
day was very hot and towards eve
ming a cloud appeared on the west
ern horizon which spread as it ap-
proach, having a violet hue and
causing considerable fright to the
populace. Soon the winds began
to peal their melodies, and as the
ground was we'll dried by the suns
rays, clouds of dust were raised
by the wind thus giving the cloud
a frightful and mystic aspect.
Then came the torrents of water
and hail, basting about a half
hour and abating finally. The ter
ritory corered by the gale in its
journey was about two miles wide.

We sell them at s cents per square

these of us, you have the advanta-
ge of buying cheaper and select
ing just what you want; when buy
ing of the catalogue house you
have the disadvantage of a higher
price on the goods, waiting ID
days before you receive them and
even them you run chances that

Double Victory.

Our base ball team scored two
great victories in one week over
the Tyndall and Lesterville lea
CUES. Last Thursday game was
played here with Barney Colts of
Tyndall and one team defeated
them so shamefllly that we al
most consider it an imposion up
on the defeated to pub'ish the
score, but the public wants infor-
nation and we'll do it t, please
the public, and ask forgiveness OF
the defeated.

Lacks Confirmation.

A number of our exchanges are
printing an orticle to the effect that
the Jones & Laughlin interests have
acquired control of the George A.
st. Clair's exploration in Florence.
The article appears to have no
foundation in fact. Mr.. Forell, who
represents Mr.. St. Claire's interests
on this range, says that he had no
information of deal, and it is GER
tain that he would be informed if
such a one had been concluded
The story probably owes it's origin
to the fact that a mining engineer
representing the Pittsburg concern
recently visited the explorations
