THEs1oRM IN THIS PARISH.

Through kind providence, natural condi-
tons have protected St. Tammany parish
from the terrible obstruction of property and
loss of life that has been occasioned in other
localities by severe storms Repetitions Of
this experience have brought confidence to
the people that we are in measure safe
from the fury of the wind as we'll as the
blasting blight of the droWth. But if con-
idence in our security could be shaken, the
storm of Monday would be credited with
the disillusion During its progress fear
and trembling abided in many households,
and the dawning of Tuesday was expected
to reveal great damage and perhaps loss OF
life.l But we have again fortunately been
spared the great affection that has come to
other sections of the storm stricken district.
The greatest crop loss will be rice and
cotton. The cane crop will suffer some and
corn that lies in the field must be gathered
Immediately or it will suffer damage. The
loss of timber will also be quite heavy, es
pecially in lands where the trees have beer
boxed for turpentine. The general loss viii
be much greater in the outlying countr!
than in the towns, but it is impossible tt
tell just how great it will be. Yet we fee
certain, from reports received, that the los
to this parish is insignificant as compared
to some other sections, even in the damag
to telegraph and telephone companies, which
seem to have been heavy everywhere.
The cutting away of the timber of tn
parish has left it more exposed to tn
sweep of the wind, and it is surprising tina
the damage sustained was not greater.
