Annapolis News.

Nice cool nights and some frost
last night. Clear and quiet this
morning.
We have had some heavy storms
near this place, but no damage has
been done here. Out on Crane
Pond the wind blew Parson Will
liams' barn down and killed fine
mule for him, and blew lot OF
fencing down. The old minister
suffered great deal of other dam
age. 1t is said the church house
near him was blown down. On
Leatherwood, Henry Lashley's
blacksmith shop and barn were
demolished and much other dam
age was done.
Mr.. Q. Powers gave dance last
Friday night. Everything went off
nicely until about II o'clock, when
the floor was secretly sprinkled
with cayenne pepper, resulting in
much scratching and sneezing and
the enjoyment ceased. The pro-
prietor offered V to find out the
man who peppered the floor, but no
one seemed to be craving the mon
ey or fight, and the proprietor's
offer came to naught.
T. P. Fitz is in town o-day look
ing up the hub interests of Baldwin
Bros.
John S. Benson was a visitor to
our town few days ago.
F. P. Reese of Desloge, Mo-, is a
visitor to his son and family here.
After the storm at Flat River Mr..
Add. Reese made a flying trip to
his father at Desloge, expecting to
find them all blown away; but the
storm hit only the Federal possess
sions, where great destruction re-
suited, and some eighteen persons
were seriously hurt. A hospital
was established at Elvins for their
care.
The creeks and rivers have been
pretty high, causing great delay in
business. The man who wanted a
doctor had a hard time getting him
as even the trains were Knocked
out of time-and many of them dc
not make stop here.
The oak timber is beginning tc
green up little.
