WIND AND RAIN
 DAMAGE CROP
Telephone Lines Are Reaching Out From Cuba In Every
 Direction.

Cuba, March 22-(Speeial.)-A barn on the place of J. w. Walker blown down, a house of J. F. Aliens turned over. fences and timber blown in every direc- ton, was the quick work of a heavy wind and hai storm which visited this section Saturday afternoon. The hail did serious damage to green peas by beating off the leaves and burying whole plants in the wet earth. Beans escaped such injury as did cabbage. Farmers are undecided as to the replanting of peas as this is twice that the crop has been damaged These heavy wind storms seem to he increasing In frequency for the past two. years and storm insurance Is coming in much demand.
 Construction work is proceeding rap idly on Farmers Telephone Line No. 2,
 the poles for the entire 20 miles being
 distributed and part of them set. Wires
 will be strung tomorrow and the line
 completed this week, as the farmers
 are taking advantage of the wet weather
 to press this work G. c. Dearman will
 be manager and the following farmers
 will have phones at the beginning of
 
 C. Vaughan. James Ward Dr. Fl J. Pa
 tillo, Fred Bennett, Rye Pratt, T. Shir-
 ley and Gilbert Dearman, with more to come on as soon as the line reaches them. The town now needs one more
 line to the west in order to make it the best connected town in the state. It is believed that by the middle of the
 summer over 50 farmers will be in touch with the markets at all times. Merchants are reporting decreased sales os fertilizers this spring as compared with last, although the price has been ruling some lower. All indications now point tc an increased acreage in corn
 with the Williamson plan largely taking precedence over the old style methods. improved seed for cotton are coming Into more general use and it Is be- ieved that yields will be better and more easily harvested. Cotton in the farmers hands Is being slowly marketed and with much relctam.- What little that Is being sold Is Tightening the lead on the banks and making the financing of corn a simple matter. More than 100 bales carried by the Bank of Cuba have been marketed at $50 and up within the last few days.

Calera. March 22.-(Special.) Jour com munity was considerable interested this morning when it was reported that the estimable agent of the Southern Express company at this place, Flo Onderdonk was married yesterday evening to Miss Pearl Hareombe also a resident of this town.

The entire community wishes them happiness.
 Tho marshal of the city corralled a good many of the citizens for workers on the streets. With commendable zeal some of the able bodied ones shouldered their picks and shoyels and went forth to do valiantly road duty rather than spend their shekels of silver in the shape of dollars.
 Rev. MT. Brandon of the Bessen CT District M. E. church, south, preached in the church of that denomination last night. He made stirring address to the colored people and seemed to be extra ordinarily enthused himself in his phil lipics against the immoralities of the day
 MT. Morgan, representative of The Age Herald, was a visitor today.
