waterspout Tuesday, which. added
thousands of dollars to the havoc
wrought by the storm of last Thurs
day night. All streams were again out
of their banks and bottom land ell
flooded. In the extreme East end of
Carlisle a number of houses were COM
pletely surrounded by the waters of
Brushy Fork creek, aud much damage
was done.
Hillside fields in cultivation which
were badly washed Thursday night,
were literally torn into great euilies
by this storm, and it is reported that a
number of growers have lost all of
their crops of corn and tobacco on bot
tom lands. The wheat crop of Nicho-
las county has been practically ruined
and there will be little harvested.
That the tobacco crop acreage has
been materially reduced by the heavy
