HAIL AT ANTHONY AND sPARR

Mr. Bruce Meffert was in from the
Anthony and Spar sections yester.
day, and says that those sections
were visited by a very destructive
hail storm yesterday morning. Some
Of the hailstones, it is said, weighed
as much as solid pound. It is fear
ed that many of the vegetable fields
were devastated.
A cabbage patch belonging to Mr.
J. M. Meffert at Lowell was totally
destroyed, the cabbage plants being
beaten into the ground.
At the Wetumpka Fruit Company's
grove near Lowell fifty-two window
lights were beaten out from the win.
dows, and the tomato crop was totally
destroyed.
Others in these sections suffered
more or less from the terrific hail
storm, which is considered by all odds
the worst that has ever been expert
enced in the state.
1t has also been reported that Mr..
Neidenhoefer's dwelling house was
blown off its foundation by the terrific
wind accompanying the hail storm,
and that Mr.. T.. J. McQuaig's house
was treated in similar manner, both
being considerably damaged.
Since the above was written we
have seen Mr.. w. w. Harriss, who
passed over the devastated district
He says that the havoc is something
awful. That the area of the storm
began about quarter of mile this
side of Reddick and extended just
about a half mile this side of Charley
Howelps place at Lowell.
Houses were blown off their pillars
and some of them were turned almost
completely around. The window
panes were shattered as if beseiged
by Mexican banditti That the veg
etable fields within the devastated
area are completely destroyed, and
the orange trees are stripped of Their
fruit and foliage.
| Mr.. Harriss says that covering
distance of a few miles more than
fifty fallen trees obstruct the roads
and the telephone and telegraph wires
are down in many places.
Mr.. Meffert's fields are in the de
| vastated area, and the crops of al
kinds are almost total loss.
4 Colonel Martins bean field fortu
nately escaped.

measurement the hail covered TIT

League held in the library reading
room on Tuesday afternoon the
treasurer announced that the society
being just eight weeks old she would
Ike to give a full report of it's finan-
cial standing. There is now in the
treasury S15s and the deed for the
building lot for which the league
earned by giving entertainments act
sl06.lO. All were well satisfied with
the work accomplished in so short a
time.
The GROWING social event of the
season was the reception and shower
which was given by Mr.. and Mrs. o.
VI. Gale at the commodious home on
Friday evening April 3. The affair
was given in honor of Miss Ruth
Perry and Mr.. Walter Nelson and was
largely attended Nearly every family
IN town being represented. The out
side appearance of the house pro-
nounced festive occasion, the broad
piazza being hung with Chinese
lanterns. The spacious rooms were
very tastefully decorated with green
vines while large boquets of beauti
full roses were much IN evidence
Those assisting Mr.. and Mrs. Gale in
receiving their guest were Miss Perry
Mrs, Perry and Mrs. Nelson with Mrs.
Bush in charge of the Shower" room
which was kept closed from curious
eyes. Miss Perry delighted the COM
pany with a piano solo which was
followed by a song by Mrs. Bessie
Coggswell Davenport who in her
choice selection of appropriate words
held her audience entranced. An
invitation was then given for the
company to repair to the dining room
where delicious punch and cake were
served. The punch bowels were pre-
sided owed by Mrs. Tyrrell and Mrs.
Coggswell who were lavish in dispens-
ing. Then came the event of the even
ing. First the bride and the groom
elect were escorted into the Shower"
room and shortly the rest of the
company were invited to follow. They
found Ruth and Walter seated in a
bower and Immediately the storm
came down in all its fury, the flood
gates being opened by Raymond and
Frank Gale and showered the de-
voted couple with gifts of many
kinds. A merry hour was spent in ad-
miring the presents, after which good
nights we're said and the happy
throng took it's homeward way thank
ing Mr. and Mrs. Gale for a most de-
lightful evening.
The general opinion is that inniver-
saries occur yearly, but Mrs. E. T..
Bush does not concur in this. She is
quite sure that they come two or three
times a year. So swiftly do the wheels
OF Father Time revolve. She was
somewhat surprised on accepting an
invitation to dine at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. F. F. Wendell to find in theh
center of the daintily arranged table
large cake, bearing the date April
5th, 1914, while numerous presents
and loving membranes reminded
her she had arrived at another mile
stone in life's journey. Numerous
friends offer congratulations and
many good wishes for continuance
OF her present good health, happiness
and prosperity

FANATicIsM AND SUPERSTITION
(By John C. Trice)

! Fanaticism is a term which arous-
ed the ire of those to whom it is
! rightfully applied as much as If a
] vile epithet had been hurled at them.
The same is true to superstition. The
more fanatical and the more super
stitious people boone, the more re-
sentful they are of the appellation,
/ however merited it may be.
| This is hartley justifiable, for in
stead of being used in an approbrious
sence, the terms are generally used
to express a condition of mind moth
ing else will correctly portray. The
term, "fanaticism," is employed to
express overzealousness, and is pre-
! ferable only because usage makes it
imply overzealousness in an unwise
cause.
| No one looks with approbrious dis
dain upon superstitiution, notwith-
standing it is the bone and sinew of
the gushing spring which nourishes
| fanaticism. 1t is somtimes charged
that fanaticism is for revenue only,
inasmuch as practically all fanatics
have some scheme for corraling the
cash. But. certainly, no such charge
can be made agaist superstition.
1t furnishes the coin, and is the
blind servitor of fanaticism. There
fore, its subject excites not the exc
crations, but the pity of the normal
man and woman, and arouses in them
desire to spread the gospel of en-
lightenment.
Mark TWAIN SAID: Let me make
the superstition of nation and
care not who makes its laws or songs
either" This was equivalent to say.
| ing he could control the nation
against any odds of righteousness, II
you but allow him to make the super
stitions of the people.
/ The picture is not overdrawn. Over
Jealous leadership, and superstitious
followings, from the most obstinate
stumbling block to the worlds moral
progress. The Panacea is knowledge
and knowledge is obtained only BY
diversified reading. II you want YOU

would not expect from any straight
