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. 1^ - • - 4m --------— jgyBLACK-DRAUGHT tea cures Constipation.
