open a little later and close a lit

Most of the brief Interruptions

Wind Damages
I Ashe Property
Nathan'sl Creel Home Moved
BY Wind. Many Roofs
Damaged

The Jeffersons and Ashe county
experienced one of the worst
wind storm -,.r last Sat-
urday, when considerable damage
was done to property.
Telephone lines reported tang
ling and crossing of wires and the
electric power lines were also
damaged. Electricity went off at
brief intervals but was quickly
restored in most cases.
A number of roofs of houses
and other buildings were dam
aged here as were plate glass
windows. The new plate glass
window in the former Ashe thea
ire building was blown out. T. A.
Doggett's new home now under
construction as well as that of
Gale McMillan's was slightly
damaged
Out in the new development,
of West Jefferson, the wind really
went to town. It blew away the
porch from Marley Shumate's
home, the porch post from Char
lie Davis's and sections of the
roof from Mont Jones residence
Perhaps the most unusual thing
was done to the home of Cynthia
Cearly, who lives in the Nathan's
Creek section. According to re-
ports, this 4-room dwelling house
was literally picked up by the
wind, carried down the hill
about 20 feet and placed there
without a great amount of dam
age being done. Both she and the
children were in the house, but
were only slightly injured.
Rev Hoyt Wood became air.
