J. W, Stroud.
Nearly everybody in "Roberta
and vicinity felt a little skittish
Friday night week. The wind
and rain were Both very heavy.
Ilad wefknown that a cyclone was
demolishing towns close to us, we
would all doubtless have hunted
holes in the ground. Pit diggers,
wo believe, can easily get jobs in
this section at this time. We
have heard several talking of hav¬
ing them dug. Things were right
shaky up in my room and I came
running down stairs, but was
to. It shows a great deal
more sense to be afraid on such
and get yourself up to
out for danger, than it does
to lie down wit eyes
in sleep. I stood within a
yards of a cyclone one
and saw it wring a large
half off and level a big house
the ground, besides flirting all
water out of a branch and
a cow off in the wind,
ever since then I feel like get¬
out of the way. It is won¬
what, marvellous strength
people display under cir¬
of this kind. I could
of some great exhibitions of
did I think they would
be credited. Many townsgn Geor¬
and Mississippi were greatly
by the cyclone last Fri¬
day night, besides several deaths
which it caused. Atlanta though
with crimes recently,
comes to the front now as on all
other occasions and shows to the
world that there are many godly
people in her confines always
ready to lend a helping hand in
sweet charity’s cause.
Messrs 0. (J. Graddick and A. J.
Johnson, of Robley, were in Ro¬
berta Thursday.
