OUR HOUSEHOLD
CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE OTHOMAS

those chickens" The Farmer said
you would better stay inside" but
I could not bear for the little things
to suffer With a good light l sal
lied forth, and pen cannot describe
the havoc. Our neighborhood barn
was the first thing that made me see
that we had not been skipped in this
storm; our house and barn are stand
ing, for which we are thankful; and
then it tried it's strength on the
smokehouse, unroofed poultry
house, took another one and scat
tered it to the north and west, blew
down grove of cedars and big, big
ped to the next lot of houses and
demolished the dwelling, unroofed
the barn and splintered the materials
as we'll as running the furniture and
almost killing the family, That was
all on this place. From here 1t un--
rooted a neighbours smokehouse and
scattered the contents. You will no.
tice that the smokehouse seemed to
stand in it's way. Barns then de-
manded it's attention and on one place
it killed three mules; at another,
the house caught fire, and at another
the husband and wife were both
killed. 1t has been an awful thing.
AS a rule, they tell me, it does not
rain much after the big wind has
passed, but here, if anything, the
rain was worse al! hlSnC ana Lne next
day. Stock has had to be kept up,
and it has put us to our best efforts
to find stalls and dry places for the
hogs and young things. With all
the fences down, you know it has
been bad, and fruit trees are gone.
There have been all sorts of freak
ish things in the storm. Our top bug
gy was in the hall of the barn and
the shafts were turned south: Next
morning it was rolled some distance
out and the front was to the north.
A section harrow was picked up and
left some distance from where it had
been put Friday. Our bee hives are
sight, honeycombs everywhere.
There is destruction and sorrow,
but through it all we can say as we
did in so many earthquakes while in
Japan: Though He STAY me, yet
will I. trust Him, for His mercy en-
dureth forever"

Just one year ago, the twentieth
of April, as many of you will re-
member, there was a terrific cyclone
through this part of North Alabama.
And in the early hours of April Is,
this year, we have had another. This
craving repetition. All through
Friday afternoon 1 insisted that 1
heard deep thunder, the others in
sisted that I heard automobiles, but
as they never came in sight, l am
rot convinced. I had several coops
of young chickens in the little rye
patch adjoining the yard, and The
should come they would keep dry.
And I want to tell you of those
boxes. One against the fence, with
a hen and twenty chicks, was picked
up and turned facing the west, af-
ter being taken, aboqt: five, feet. Not
Of rain falling it would not have sur
vived. Another large box, contain
ing a smaller box and a mother hen
and twenty-three chicks, was torn all
to pieces, but a small box that I had
in there was not damaged and every
corner, filled with chicks, was tilted
so that it caught water, but that
was the only one.
Now I will go back to the expert
enceS. From Z p. m. of the 18th
there was more lightning than 1 had
ever seen before, and about midnight
the real storm began. The lightning
was so constant that I got up to see
if there was not a fire somewhere,
I could hear the roaring and it
seemed to me that the earth trem-
bled. 1 laid down, but could not go
to sleep, though I felt as stupid as
if | had been drugged: l looked
at the clock and it was 10 minutes to
/. The Farmer was doing by the
fire and again I laid down, and about
then the real force struck about here.
for every clock on the place stopped
at half past one. This is a house that
was built to stand the storms, but
we felt it culver, I heard the crash
and heavy things falling. and then
there was a lull. [ said, well, 1
have never heard of two storms in
the same night, so I will see about
