Thunder, Lighting and Rain The thunder, lightning and rain storm of Sunday night, was ono of the severest that has visited this city in some time. Immediately in town no serious damage is reported, though there were several narrow escapes. At the Gulf, a little past seven, while sup per was ott, a bolt of lightning came in on the electric light wires, and tore a large hole in the ceiling of the office, almost directly over the reading ta ble. About six or eight gc.itlemcn were in the room at the time, and the shock was so violent that it took them sometime to lie sure that they them selves had not been hurt. At Davis’ stable, on Jackson street, lightning struck the electric, wire snapping it like a thread, and of course putting out the light. The most serious dam- ngc was done out at Mr J. L. Lin ton’s mill, by the rain. He was building a brick foundation and dam lor the improvements to be mndc in his mill, and all his work for the past two weeks, was washed away. The fluid darted in on the electric light wire, running into the parlor ol the Stunrt house, and put the light oat. The house otMr. tim Kirkland, in Fairvicw, was struck during the storm, and considerable damage done. 1 he roof for quite a space was badly torn up, and the top of the chimney knock ed off One side ol the house was also damaged to a considerable extent. Mr. George Crittenden was in the side ol the house struck hy the light ning, and lie received quite a shock. For a few moments he says lie was blind and deaf from the effects of the Hash and jar. Fortunately lie was not seriously hurt, but it was u narrow escape. Both Mr. Kirkland and Mr. Crittenden are raihoad engineers.

We hope the fat mors of Thomas county will keep up the light with their brethren throughout the stnto, until the infamous jute trust is com pletely busted. Increased Free Delivery. Postmaster General Wanuiimaker several months ngo recommended tl.o extension qf the free delivery system to cities which have 5 000 and postal receipts amounting to 87,000 a year. This would let Thomasville in. We arc reminded in this connection, that postmaster Smith is entitled to more clerical assistance than he is bc- ing given by tlio government Espe cially is this the ease in winter, when the town is full oi visitors Married.
