HEAVY LOSS FROM

DAMAGE MUCH GREATER THAN
HAD AT FIRST BEEN
REPORTED

According to a statement made by
William T. Perry, one Of the largest
farmers of Maury county, who visited
the scene of the storm Monday, the
damage done in the vicinity of the
Jew Store" in Northern Giles countN
was much greater than had ben re-
ported. He declares that the store
building is practically total wreck.
that it will be necessary to tear it
down and rebuild. The store was
struck from the Southside, moved en-
tirely off its foundation, the sides
blown in and large portion of the roof
bloyn off,
The stock carried by M. Elisa, prop
rietor OF the Jew Store" was one OF
the largest carried by any country
merchant in this section of tho state
and said to DO worth more than $780,
900. The building was an unusual
large one, two full stories high and
more than hundred feet in length.
There will of course be an immense
amount of salvage. but 1t is consider
cd extremely doubtful il the $500 OF
tornado insurance carried by Elias
! will cover the loss.
=, In addition to the loss of the store
the church near by was slightly dam
1 aged, being partly moved from its
foundations.
