BULL BROUGHT S500.
The Tift Farms sold yesterday to.
the Gtynn County Bank, of Bruns
wick, a red Scotch Shortluirn bull
for .3500.
The purchase was made through
R. L. Dunn. County Agent for
Glynn county. So far as known, it
is a record price for' a registered Herbert L. M:
bull in this section.

and worthless wreck.
The outside walls of Mr. Jones’
residence are thickly speckled with
the prints of hailstones, drivon so
hard that they indented the plank.
A composition njof cover on an
outbuilding lias .tfbles beaten
through it in places, and they told'
us of a building across the'field'
where shinglcn vpere split by the hail j
stones. So great was the noise made
.that one family did not -know when'
the brick stove flue was Mown down j
Leaves wore beaten from oak trees |
and straw from the pinks.
Following the hailstorm was al- J
Imost a cloudburst; those who exper-
iencbj it saying It, was the hardest
rain they ever saw. This sent the
water in floods across the fields,
which are now so badly washed that
! in many places the land must be
broken before it can be planted
again. Reside the road in bottoms j
