The Track of the Storm

On their return, the Ocala delega-
ton was held up at the eight-mile
post, where Mrs. Frank Ditto. Mrs.
Mamie Fox, Mrs Port Leavengood
and their guest, Miss Mollie Burns,
were waiting on some negroes to cut
across the road in such a way that
a car could not pass. The gentlemen
passed the hat and paid the men.
and went on when the work was
done. Two cars from the other di-
rection were also held up at this
point. From there on the result of
the storm was manifest on every
hand and al every few yards. but
there was a way of getting around
all Of the fallen trees beyond this
point. The men threw out all of the
trees that were not too large for
their combined efforts to move. Tel
ephOne wires were down every few
hundred yards, sometimes two, and,
even three trees being across the
broken off and blown over, and in
some places they had been twisted
off, Probably so trees were partly
or entirely across the road, and
hundreds Of them could be seen from
the road. back on either side as far
as the eye could reach through the
forest.
When the open fields were reach
ed in the track of the hailstorm that
had passed over an hour before, the
crops were found wiped out, and in
some places it was impossible to tell
from the road whether a field had
been planted TO beans or tomatoes
Millions of leaves were scattered
over the ground, blown from the tree
tops, and many of them for hundreds
OF yards out across the fields. The
heavy hail had melted before the
party passed but its devastation was
apparent on every hand.
There must have been a cloud
burst at Reddick, for the roads,
ploughed burrows and low places
were filed with water and it could
not have fallen for more than few
minutes. One house was down off
its foundation and the two-story
chimney lay in a heap around it.
This was the only house that had
suffered visible from the road. For
tunately the strip Of country visited
by the hail was very narrow, not
over mile in width, extending from

VELVET HATS ARE POPULAR.

VELVET HATS ARE POPULAR.
More dignity than has been display
ed in millinery for several seasons
is the feature of some Of the hats t.
be seen this fall and winter. Velvet
hats with fur or other effective trim
ming, are an illustration Of this, and
they are rich as well as dignitied
looking.
velvet hats are welcomed by the
majority Of women, for they are be-
coming to almost every face, bring
out the best points in complexion and
eyes, and to many tI1y give a more
youthful appearance than other lines
of millinery. The freedom with which
women are buying velvet hats Is The
best test Of their popularity. Black
velvet and q good selection Of dark,
rich shades, these hats promise to be
one of the strongest features of the
seasons millinery, and you can find

ENLARclNG THE
NEW 6uckHoRN MILL

A report from Buckhorn says some
of the largest machinery OF its kind
that has ever been installed in
milling plant in Nevada is now being
put in at the Buckhorn Mines com
pany's property there. The report
says that new six-foot Hardinge ball
mill is being installed, which is the
largest of its kind that has ever been
built. Besides that. the company is
putting in large twelve by fourteen
Oliver filter.
The mill has been running since
last fall. but it has been found TO
better advantage to increase the size
OF the plant than continue to run at
the present capacity. For that reason
the plant is being rapidly changed
and enlarged.
The Buckhorn ores are quite hard
to handle. being rather talcy in char
acter and carrying considerable moist
ure. The crushing department has
had considerable trouble in getting
the ore down to size so that Il could
be easily pulyerized by the rolls. This
part OF the work has reached the
point where the best results are being
obtained.
