Discussing the recent cyclone in the
east, Al Beasley recalls when he was
standing smoking 10-cent cigar one
day and a cyclone came along. He
was standing just inside the belt of
the old twister when it hit, but his
cigar was outside the wind track. He
was blown about mile, but his cigar
never moved and he came back an
hour or so later and found it there
suspended in the air..

cliff about 200 feet high. He couldn't
get up or down and likely would have

eagles within reach and when the par
ent eagles fetched stuff for them to
eat the preacher he would snag some
of it and eat it hisownsef. But after
month or so the eaglets began
stretching their wings, preparatory to
flying. The minister's heart sank
within him. Watching them flap their
wings, he took a tail Of his long
preacher coat in either hand and flap
ped his hands. Next morning the
eaglets flew away. The preacher
watched them very closely, then, grab

he began to flap, and jumped off. He
sailed along in fine shape, heading
toward home. Arriving there, he saw
his wife in the front yard with the
wash-tub, washing clothes. The
