dacross the VIM
;dowpanes. Yesterday had been mild
aQuiet day, following a fierce storm of
rain and wind. The little birds came
around to twitter their delight that
. winter was passing.
( When I went to bed for the night
n there was actually no sign of a
storm, but it came along by mid
might.
: If these wind and hail and thunder
storms are not the forerunners of
y eQuinoctial gales, what are they?
. My memory recalls storms of the
2same sort all along through the ex-
periences of nay lifetime.
About thirty-tiVe years ago middle
Georgia was visited with tornadoes Or
cyclones. There was considerable loss
;of life and much damage to property.
4 In the Smithsonian institut there
yCaE be seen a segment of "a large
Georgia oak tree through which a
strong fence rail had been driven
from side to side by the force of
the wind. In an excellent Georgia
home the young daughter of fifteen
or sixteen sitting on a piano stool
playing the instrument was instantly
killed when shingle -om some roof
was driven through her fine young
body. L recall tornado that visited
Barlow county in the early spring of
1884 that devastated everything in
its path. A very Well-to-do neighbor
lad every building blown away or
crushed to the ground except the
dwelling. He lived within two miles
of our farm home. The building was
also unroofed.
An eighty foo two-story barn, with
a dozen mules and horses and farm
supplies was RACED to the ground,
nothing but the bottom stills left to
show where 1t stood a minute before
the cyclone struck it. The destruc-
clone then rose and leaped over hill
and vale and then dipped down into
PIckens coun'y. perhaps thirty miles
distant.
In one neighborhood there were
eleven funerals on the day after
ward.
Where that cyclone passed stone
chimneys were demolished Some
households did not have a thing left,
all blown OFT of sight and hearing
1t passed over like the simeon of
the Arabian desert. leaving nothing
but death and ruin.
We had another experience in 1856,
mattoX. 1t CINE On Sunday night
about the middle of April We had
been to church il the forenoon, listen
ing to d wonderful sermon on the
"Charactsr Of Angels" When my
husband cane in from the barnyard
after feeding some stock and seeing
them securely locked up, he found me
trying to write down what the
preacher sad about angels, and he
said: Come look at the black cloud;
there is bad weather coming"
AS he spoke there came a weird
wall of the stern fiend, and in a
short space DC time the storm was
on us. A big tree was blown across
our meal house in the yard, five giant
oaks were down on the lawn and
nearly two hundred trees were count
ed on the farm next day.
We barrictt led the inside doors
with tables and trunks. One time
I made "eady to creep under the
strong bedstead as a storm refuge.
Wherever that storm touched it
swept the SOL clean.
Storms are always mysterious mes
sengers to human kind. They are
called thunderholts of Jove in my
thology.

ped TO the British Isles.

Louisville, KY, July Is. - Ken

Company to Ireland, England and
Scotland on contracts made, accord
ing to officials, prior to last January.
A report has it that the total Of such
exports has reached 10000 barrels, al
though the exact quantity is not given
out by local officials of the company.
