SLEET STORM EDDYTORIUL

On last Monday afternoon about
2 p. M. Bingville was visited by
one of the worst s1eet storms in
her history the like of which has
never been knowd in this neck of
woods. Dad Henderson our oldest
inhabitant for instants who has
KEEP track of all the sleet storms
which has occurd in our midst
for 10 these menny yrs & praps
even longern that, says it was the
worst sleet storm which he has
ever saw in all his career.
Jest to show what a turrible
sleet storm Dad thort it was he
venchured outen his house jest
when the sleet was fallin hardest
without KNOWN that a sleet storm
was in progress and when Dad
slept often his front PLAYER and
| the sleet struck him in the Ease
full blast he was so f1abbergasted
that he diddent know whot had
hit i'm.
Dad is most blind in one eye and
cant see very we'll outen tother
one and when the bits of froze
sleet druv by the wind hit i'm
right in the Ease Dad not bein
able to see very we'll thort that
some huming being must be ham,
mering at him so he up with his
cane and lasht out hard as he
could strike in all direckshions
hoping to hit whoever was hittin
him and in the scrirnnage with
the sleet Dad hit one of the PLAYER
pliers stitch a crack that he broke
his cane clean in two right in the
middle afore he reulized that it
was sleet instid of some huming
agency that was giving him stitch
drubbin. Then he hustled back
into the house in deep disgust and
says that hes carried that cane he
bruk for nigh on II yrs and
wouldn't of broke it for a ten
doller bill being as he don't prize
it so mulch for its intrinsick
value as you mite say but for the
historick assochiashions which
clusters around it.
Mrs. Lem Brown also sufferd
from the sleet. Mrs. Lem had her
reglar Mondays warsh hung out
on the line to dry not dreamin
that it was goin to sleet and
when the sleet begin to drive she

| instants was Jest riddeld by it like
as if it had been did by bullets.
There was some hail stones
amongst the sleet and these cut
jest like a nife.
Seth Dewberry our lion harted
town constubble was ketched out
in the storm and had his hat
knockt often his head when the
sleet and hail begin to hit him on
top of the head which is as bald
as egg, Seth never stopt to pick
up his hat but made for Bill Hep
burns blacksmith shop which was
the neerest bilding with roof
over it for shelter where Seth re-
rnained until the storm was over.
Seth says he has fased desprit
criminals and has riskt his life
time and agin in his capacity as
town constubble but he'd rather
Ease a roarin liun than stitch a
sleet & hail storm as that TN was.
The top Of Seths he'd is all nicked
UP where the sleet and hail hit
him and is so sore that he cant
skeercly bear to wear a hat on it.
There was others in Bingville
who got sn1ote with the storm too
numerus to mentchion but most
folks had sense enuff to remain
indoors until after it was over be-
fore they venchured out.
The storm diddent last long but
it was a reglar ripsnorter while
it did last and we hope that stitch
a calamity wont ockur agin soon
being as Bingville folks feels that
they have had enuf hail and sleet
on last Monday to last EN- for a
considerable spell.
Let this eddytoriul on sleet and
hail storms be a sollum warning
to our inhabitants hereafter to re-
main under culver when stitch a !
storm is in progress unless they
desire to git all chopped to peeces
as we might say. A sleet storm is
a turrible menace to life & limb
and espeshial1y to the head also
pervided you aint got no I,st on
and we trust that Bingvillains will
guvvern theirselfs according.
