Last Thursday the elements seemd to

worst storms in the rccolleckshion of
the Oldest inhabitant. Dad Henderson
who is our Oldest inhabitant says if
there was ever a worser storm in Bing-
vile he cant remember when it was.
Most folks thinks it was the reglar line
storm which happens every yr about
this time. Whether it was the line
storm or not 1t was old sniftcr and
we can get along very we'll without a
rcpitishion of same until about this
time next yr.

his scalp.
The Deacon thort Hoke had hit him
a crack on the head jest for a Joke

Hoke a slam right on the jaw which
staggered him out into the middle of
the road. This nacherly surprised Hoke

to run Hoke TUX after him and give
him kick that made the Deacon STUN
BILE and fall. Then the Deacon got up
and TUX after Hoke who ruin home as
fast as he could run and locked hisself
in the house whilst the Deacon stood
outside and shuk his fist at the house
and called Hoke some awful hard names
