SOME HALL

Salyersville, KY, July 1.-THE
heaviest hail storm that ever was
known in Eastern Kentucky visited
Salyersville for about a space of two
miles wide and ten miles long Sat-
urday, leaving absolute ruin in its
wake. Not a house in Salyersvile
and its vicinity has a solid roof left,
and nearly every house had windows
broken out. The garden vegetation
is mass Of ruin, driven into the
ground in bits. Corn, tomatoes,
beans, cabbage, etc., within its wake
are total loss, and the apples were
all stripped from the trees. The in
sulators on the telephone poles were
bursted as if they were thin glass,
and the wires cut in twain as If they
were threads. The cattle in the pas
lures were badly injured and the
people of the town panic-stricken.
The damage to the section runs in
to thousands of dollars-as the gar
dens and crops cannot be replanted
at this season.
The ground was covered about
three inches with pure solid ice, and
looked as though it was in the mid
die of winter.-Louisville Post.
Insure that tobacco and hemp
crop before it is too late.
