AMERICUS MAN IN
CENTER OF STORM

P. D. Cherry, well known Ameri-
Gus salesman travelling for the Will
son Packing Company, was in the
center of the tornado at Albany
Thursday, and returned home about
z p. m. with lurid story of its fury.
Calling at a small store in North
Albany, Mr.. Cherry left his runa-
bout car standing out in front. He
said he was standing near a stove as
storm struck, and was impelled by
some influence unexplainable to
move. Just as he did so the chimney
crashed through the roof, the bricks
falling where he had stood.
The blast passed in few moments
and he went outside to see what had
happened. His auto was missing.
He finally found it two hundreds
yards down the street blown against
an embankment, with top shattered
and an axle sprung. Debris was
strewn all about, wide damage being
apparent. He righted his car and
drove it up town and found little ex-
citement there, the people being at
that time unaware of the extent of
the storm. He left shortly after and
drove his car home.
