THE WIND HAlLi AND RAIN.
Peeks Prediction True-Many
Acres of Corn and Cotton beat¬
en into the Ground.
The wind, hail and rain fell in tor
rents in the southwestern portion of
Taliaferro county Sunday evening last,
laying waste to crops in the heavy
cloud’s track.
Mr. T. V. An drews, one of our best
farmers, was in town Tuesday last
with a handful of stalks of cotton
perfectly bare of liujbs, or leaves and
scarcely with bark left on them. Mr.
A. says that these stelks are a sample
of DO acres of his cotton which was in
a fine state on Sunday morning and
which he found Monday morning all
beaten into the ground, and almost or
quite a total loss.
Acres and acres of his corn is torn
to atoms and the stalks stripped of
blades and the bodies of the stalks
bruised,
Besides Mr. Andrews’ lo3s, Mess.
Jim Phelps, Alex II. Gunn and many
others have considerable truck ruined,
Mr. Andrew's says hjs loss will
amount to over a thousand dollars
Terrible, terrible was this calamity.
The losers have the sympathies of the
county and hope the little bruised
stalks will yet put out and bring the
tillers some reward for their labors.
THE PltEDICTION MADE.
Iii the issue of tho Democrat of
May 23 wo published a prediction of
Mr. Tom Peek, of this county, who
sa jd that this terriblo hail storm
WO uld visit this section between ‘'June
lst a ,„i 5 th”. Tho fatal night- to
many nice crops came on the lst. Mr.
p eek i s following Hicks very well and
this time did not fail in his prediction.
If he is successful many times again
it would be well for Hicks to lorm
copartnership with Mr. Peek.
Col. W. O. Mitchell.
It will be seen in our announcement
column that the namo of the above
gentleman is before our people asking
their support. Tho Colonel is so well
known by our people that comment
on his rtcord as a true democrat and
worthy gentleman would ho useless.
If elected we feel confident that he
will fill the office most gracefully and
rellect much credit to himself and the
people of our district. Next week
you can expect his announcement over
his own signature.
