 Storm Works Havoc in Gardens.
 Reports from all the section swept by the extraordinary hail storm Tues day afternoon indicated on Wednes- day that damage to crops hereaboutS has been very extensive. Scores or home gardeners are practically dis couraged. Splendid gardens that represent the results of careful labor ever a period of many weeks are practically fuined. Children's gaI- Gens were among those that suffered injury in the storm and the youthful workers who have been rising early and working late are particularly dis tressed over the loss.
 Squash and cucumber vines were cut to pieces by the heavy hail stones, some of which weighed two ounces each Potato vines, which have grown luxuriantly hereabouts this season, were knocked down. as were great quantities of corn.
 The main question on Wednesday seemed to be over whether some of the crops that have been knocked over will come back to visor again, but there seemed to be much doubt as to this.

Awaking to realization of the fact that the Thirteenth company, c. A. is on the every eve of departure for whatever may be their part in world war, some Danieison men who feel a sense of shame that nothing has been done here in the way of preparing a send-of for the command, got busy Wednesday morning with view to working out some plan that will show that the people of Daniel son really do appreciate the fact that the coast artillery boys are going away to fight for country that al- most everybody is willing to sing for and that it would be indefensibly wrong to let them go away without some kind of demonstration in their honor.
 Just why there has been such general lack of organized interest in the departure of the company no one seems able to explain, but there has been a lack of interest that many feel the town should be about ready to apologize for.
