that was ever known in this country.
1t lasted about one hour. The hail
literally destroyed everything in It's
path. It hailed for about one hour
and the stones were as large as quail
eggs. The wheat is down fiat on the
ground and lots Of it beat off the
heads, while the corn and vegetables
in the gardens are completely de-
stroyed. Beans, tomatoes, cabbage
and other vegetables are cut smooth
with the ground. It killed a lot Of
young turkeys for Captain Lineberry
and blowed down his tool house. For
tunately he had his binder in the
wheat field but a moving machine
and corn drill was in the house and
received some damage. It reached
from Millboro to Lineberry station,
a distance Of five miles, and every
thing in its path is obut destroyed.

Rome, March 3.-Lloyd G. Griscom
is today spending his last day in the
Eternal City as American ambassa-
dor to Italy.
His resignation came as a shock
upon the diplomatic "carriera"-as
they call it here-the group of men
who devote their lives to diplomacy
and do not take it up as a pastime be-
cause they want to see how 1t feels
to be called "excellency," or to satisfy
their wives ambitions. Of these in
the diplomatic career it may almost
be said that there are only two among
American representatives abroad
Henry White, now in Paris, and John
w. Riddle, in st. Petersburg.
Mr.. and Mrs. Grissom have been
particularly successful in Rome. They
are both young and charming, and
they are not too rich-just rich
enough-and when it is added that
they entertain and make Americans
welcome the list of their virtues is
quite long enough. So that the fact
that they are going away has produc-
ed something approaching consterna-
tion in the American colony.
What is Mr.. Griscom's motives in
taking this unexpected step? It is
not concealed that he considered his
personal relations, which are now ex-
cellent, with the most prominent men
in your country, and that this is the
opportnne moment for him to return
to America and make place for him
self. Now he returns voluntarily. In
few years he might be constrained
to retire through a change Of admin
istration.
The ambassadors in Rome have
been five in fourteen years, and each
has been a distinct personality. First
there was Wayne MacVeagh (1S93-),
la brilliant speaker. which gift, alas,
did not assist him much in Rome, as
few could understand a word he said,
and his gestures were not altogether
adequate. But he was popular, and
his colleagues were convinced that he
would have been "a good fellow" If
they could have spoken to him in his
own native language. However, both
Ping Humbert and Queen Margherita
understood English, and not only
liked, but loved both Mr.. and Mrs.
Macveagh in the four years they were
here.
Then came Gen. w. F. and Mrs.

men Of average to fuller figures The
model is made with either single or
