We had a fine little rain SUNDAY
afternoon, and just a half mile
above US was barely a sprinkle.
Friday afternoon we had a con-
siderable blow and very little rain,
but in Augusta the wind and rain
was fierce, and we saw the effects OF
it when in Augusta Saturday.
There were a great many trees
broken off, and out in the streets to
be carried off. The rain and wind
also extended up as high as Foxes
creek. There was hail also with
the wiud and rain. Hope we may
continue to be sighted by the hail.
