Last Friday afternoon from four o’clock until nearly sundown a very hea/y hail storm prevailed in the western part of this county, reaching from within three miles of Hamilton to the neighbor!lood of New Hope church near the river. The storm was the most severe of its kind ever known in th.s section, many hail stones as large as hen eggs having fallen. A gentleman who passed the Barnes plantation four miles from town just before night says the hail was still lying on the ground thick enough to hide it. Hundreds of bushels of hail was in sight the next morning, along the track, in places where it had drifted. Gardens in the track of the storm were completely demol j s hed, the hail stones beating the vegetables literally out of the ground and all to pieces. Fruit trees also suffered greatly. A heavy rain also f e u an d a high wind prevailed, doing much damage to fencing. Altogeth¬ er such a storm has never before been known in the county. . „ Job Printing:.
