Small Cyclone

The storm which went over the
central portion of the State last
Thursday afternoon, passed over
the southern portion of this coun-
ty and over the city of Richmond
doing a great deal of damage
by telling trees and breaking
limbs. The telephone and cleo
trio wires were torn down in
many places and many lights
and telephones were put out of
commission temporarily, but the
crews of both companies went to
work immediately after the storm
and put them in order again.

Killed By Moving Machine

James Francis, of color, who
lives on the farm of Mr.. Harvey
Chenault near this city, while
driving a moving machine, was
thrown in front of the same and
instantly killed. The accident
occurred during the storm which
passed over this city last Thurs
day afternoon. The team became
frightened at a sudden clap of
thunder and ran away and threw
Francis in front of the machine.
He was horribly mangled, both
limbs having been cut off and his
arm severely cut, and the body
cut and wounded in many places.
He lived about half an hour when
death came to him as a relief
from his agonies. He was d
married man and left his wife
and several children. He was a
good farm hand and stood well
with his race.
