Referring to that part OF Mr.. Dun

treatment of its patrons and for the
upbuilding of Brazos County. 1t has
been our aim never to seek notoriety

article that does us a wrong, and feel

have been unnecessary.

In the above estimate we did not
include September, as the market con-
ditions on products as we'll as every
other commodity, was in a chaotic
condition. At one time cottonseed
was the only product that could be
cashed in at any price. We are at all
times willing to give those interested
any information desired and to prove
to them that oil mills have their
troubles like everybody else.

FREAKS OF LIGHTNING.

The antics played by lightning are sometimes
almost beyond belief. common trick is that Of
undressing its victims In 1898 two girls and an
elderly woman were standing by reaping ma
chine during a storm. lightning fash struck
the woman and killed her on the spot, while the
two girls were stripped TO the skin. even their
boots being torn from their feet. Otherwise they
were safe and sound, but astonshed.
In 1858 a struck by lightning near
Vallerois, in France, and stripped naked All that
could be found afterward Of his clothes was q
shirt sleeve, a few other shreds and some pieces
of his hob nailed boots. Ten minutes after hs
was struck he regained consciousness, opened his
eyes, complained of the cold and inquired how he
happened to be naked.
Such instances have been recorded again and
again. In one case man and two were
struck simultaneously, and all three killed. The
man was found stripped TO the skin and his boots
had been carried thirty yards away.
"In other cases." says Camille Flammsrion, the
eminent French astronomer, lightning has been
known 20 split men in half, almost as with huge
axe. One June 20, 1863 this happened 10
miller's assistant at a windmill near Croix. The
lightning struck him and split him from his head
downward in two"
