DAMAGE In DECATUR
HEAVY STORM SWEEPS OVER NOR
GAN COUNTY.
Negro Church Picked Up and Turned
Around During Services, and
Blacks are Stricken
by Panic.

Decatur, May 31.-(Special. Last
might the Decaturs were cut on en-
tirely from communication with the
outside world owing to the damage
done late yesterday evening by wind
storm of great velocity which was ac-
companied by q rain which was akin
to q cloud burst.
In New Decatur on Fourth Avenue q
dozen or more large telephone poles
were blown down and telephone sables
blown to the street and broken. The
damage to the telephone companies In
the Decaturs will amount to several
hundred dollars. Heavy bill boards
were blown down and telephone cables
wind across the street.
Several houses were partially I'M
rooted and In Decatur some tin roofing
which was blown from business house
was carri@d several blocks. So far
as known no one was Injured by the
storm.
The storm came from the west and
the heaviest part of it passed over
Cedar Lake, u negro suburb about two
miles south. At that place the me-
groes were holding a religious meet
ing and the house was packed. The
wind picked the chui ch up and turned
1t completely around. The negroes,
panic-stricken, rushed from the build
ing and mac were badly but not Sc
riously bruised in the rush and jam
In getting out of the building.
Many large trees at Cedar Lake were
uprooted, three negro houses were
blown down and a number of other
houses were unroofed. Several large
trees were blown across the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad tracks south
of Decatur, blocking the road complete
ly and delaying transportation for
some time.
South of here trees fell across the
wires of the Western Union Telegraph
Company and Of the telephone compa-
niles, beaking them in many places.
1t is believed that the storm was the
severest some miles west OF Decatur,
but owing to the fact that the tele-
phone wires are down no, communica-
ton can be had with points west.
In very short space of time yes
terday the streets of the Decaturs were
flooded by the heavy downpour of rain
and all low land was inundated.
1t was the heaviest rain and the most
severe wind storm that has been wit
messed in this part of the State in
many years.
The Tennessee River Is rising rapidly
but an overflow Is not anticipated.

OF surprise has been sprung in the

Dear sirs-crop: Conditions are stiu
unfavorable owing to the continued
rains. Since our last report we have
had rain nearly every day In this ter
rttory, and In some sections the pre-.
cipttation was very heavy. Practically
no farm work has been done the past
week. and in the lowlands It will be a
week or two. after a resumption of
favorable weather before any work can
be accomplished. AS. we pointed out
last week, dry weather was needed
throughout this territory. and we fear
the heavy rains will cause a serious
setback to the crop. especially In the
bottom lands.

little business has been transacted. on
