Vivid But No Buildings Struck
Slight Rain General Over County.

The thunder that rolled and the
lightning that flashed when grand
mothers famous teapot went all to
smash could not have been Of much
stronger variety than was experienced
by PendIeton and vicinity early this
morning 1t was a storm that for
noise and continuity OF noise breaks
all local records for many years past.
1t was shortly after a. m. that the
storm grew violent Peal after peal of
long continuous thunder poured forth
and the sound was sufficient TO awak-
en- all but the very sound sleeper For
half hour or longer the city was
subjected to never ceasing lombard
ment by the artillery OF the skies
while the flashes of lightning were so
vivid as to make people fearful of be-
ing struck.
As soon as the fireworks ceased a
violent rainstorm set in and for five
minutes or more the rain descended
in a perfect torrent. However, the
rain was of such short duration that
the record shows the precipitation for
the night was but six hundredths of
an inch. The rain cooled the atmos-
phere somewhat
According to E. L. Smith no dam
age has been reported from farmers
coming into town this morning. At
Vansycle. light rain fell Sunday but
not enough TO do damage. Reports
of slight rain from other parts have
been received but nothing like the
heavy shower which fell here has yet
been reported.
The same report of no damage to
standing grain is confirmed by other
parties who have information on the
subject. H. W. Collins today made
many inquiries to ascertain IL any
damage had been inflicted but no
loss was discovered.
So terrific was the thunder shower
that many feared cloud burst
! might have occurred in some section.
However no reports of any such oc-
currence have reached the city
There is news however. that in east

heavier than here and some damage

N Nd the moral to this story is tina,
u women ought to be careful that
their most skittish and irrespon-
slble friends do not look too much like
them. Mistaken identity always brings
trouble.
This is about the narrow escape of
a Young Atlanta society woman, who
is happily married and who is fond
Of entertaining. Also it is about the
friend who looks like her-very much,
indeed.
The young woman was giving one
of her little tango affairs, and Miss
Friend was there. Miss Friend was
having the time of her young life-a
gay little time. In fact, it might
have been termed giddy She was
engaged at close range in a bit of
conversation with a perfectly nice
man, in the usual conservatory, when
IN popped the maid of the young host
ess Being discreet maid, she
popped out again, quite as speedily.
But (being an experienced young
woman she treasured the remem-
brance.
Not long after that there was fall
ing out between our heroine and her
maid.
You're discharged" stated the
lady, quite emphatically.

piled the maid, very pertly. IF you

But when the fired maid told Him
that she had seen Her in blissful com

Of her tango affairs there was the
deuce and all to pay.

pinch, you might say-our heroine

and giddy friend.

This was one of the unique parties of
the season in New Orleans, and must
have been similar to our Harvest Ball.

there are more than you could count
on your fingers-and your toes, too,
for that matter.
But here I'm going to introduce you
to new one, if you care to cherish
an anonymous acquaintance-you
know, of course, that | couldn't name
her, not right out loud.
Any how, she was in the midst of
very erudite conversation-quite
highbrow, 1t was, very highbrow.
And she was talking along glibly,
as folks do when they want to hide
the fact that they don't know what
they are talking about. And then it
happened.
"Oh, yes" she chuckled. How very
quaint. Just like the law of the
Danes and the Persians, isn't it?"
Really, she belongs to one Of our
very best families.
