A severe hailstofm passed over this
section last Saturday morning about
| ) o'clock. Fortunately the wind was
not blowing, or the damage would
nave been greater. The ground was
covered in our yard, and the hail
could have been gathered by the bush
Ell, but heavy rain following soon
melted it. The tobacco beds were the
greatest sufferers.

owners, who object to it's being made
a public road, and we trust the matter

work a hardship on those living near
the bridge, as they had given up their
outlets toward the Hospital, since the
new road was opened, and will force
them to apply for roadway to the
county road, besides putting them fur
