During the electrical storm of
Saturday evening the residence of
S. P. Samples on Straight Creek
was struck by tightening. The top
of the chimney was knocked down,
and the current that entered the
house ripped a piece of oilcloth and
tore a splinter from the dining
table. The family escaped injury.
The rainfall was heavy in many
sections of the county, while in a
few localities comparatively little
fell.

the ages OF eight and twelve can ac'
quire quite n large Vocabulary by the

of poor spoilers, but It IL not their
fault, for little attention IN paid to
that accomplishment II would be well
