Another
Reason Why
You Should Own a
High View
Home

A we'll built home nova
days is a rare thing. Most
builders put houses up as
rapidly as possible without
much consideration as to
their stanchness.
These High View Homes
are built of the best ma
terial and are of the finest
construction. If you were to
have the supervision of
building these homes you
would not make them any
better.
Everything that a home
should have you'll find in
these beautiful homes.
And then you can buy one
with the same money you
are now paying for rent.
The terms are only $500
down and $4,000 a month.
Full price, $500. This is a
remarkable value in homes.

Rockingham Is Hit By Hail Storm
OF Unusual Severity.

| a considerable portion Of the coun
TRY around Tenth Legion and Mauz,
l.le yesterday afternoDa was visited
by s.Ee OF the wo-st Lail storms il re-
e a. years, Accord x to re-, ,rss Wiki.
reached he,e late last night.
| A nun'r OF autnn ,b!li,t.. W G
passed through that section after the
storm, declare that in some places on
the Valley Pike the hail stones cover
ed the ground to a depth of more thar
twelve inches. That part of the story
would appear to q skeptical person to
be somewhat exaggerated, but wher
others were asked concerning the
amount of b all on the pike, they de-
cared it was SO deep that an automo-
bile could at first not pillow its way
through.
In that section corn was literally
destroyed, according to the reports q
those who noticed that feature of the
destruction in the country, and the
Il ayes on the trees were simply thresh-
ed to the ground. At this season of
the year, the corn is at its best stages
for maturing fne crop and an ap.
parent slight damage to it at this
time would mean the loss of thousands
Of dollars to the farmers. If the re-
ports in all respects be true, it is pos
sible that the fruit has suffered con-
siderably by being knocked from the
limbs by the chunks of ice.
At Penn Laird, six miles east of
Harrisonburg, considerable hail is
said to have fallen, while here in
town the rain came down in torrents,
but only few hail stones fell.
The storm was accompanied by
considerable electrical display and
damage to the extent Of between $500
and $500 was done to the electric light
and power service In town. Three big
10-kilowat transformers are known to
have been completely burned out on
the electric light wires, and Q fuse in
a transformer on the power line at the
Harrisonburg harness factory was
blown out. The tran sformers OF the
light wires are located in front of
Miller's store, the old Greek restau-
raunt and at B. Ney's corner. AS
the result of the burning out of these
transformers that part of Main street
was in darkness last night, with the
exception of the light from few oil
lamps which were pressed into service.
To repair these transformers will cost
approximately 1925 each. Supplies
are on hand for this purpose and the
work will be done today. Whether
there was any other damage done to
the light and power service in town or
not, was not known last night.
A telephone message from the Hydro
Electric plant on Shenandoah river
late last night stated that only few
drops of rain fell in that section of the
county.-Harrisonburg News, Aug. l.
