A terrific tornado and hail storm
struck the town of Millen, near Au
gusta, on Saturday.. A big planing
mill was torn to pieces; a dwelling
was struck by lightning and burned;
several milk cows standing under a
tree were killed by lightning and ma
ny large trees were blown down. The
hail was of such size and came down
with such force that many windows
were broken in residences and in the
buildings in the business district.
The Rome News-Tribune says:
“Without taking a positive position
against a state-wide bond issue for
road building, the Country Bankers’
Association of Georgia in session at
Savannah recently adopted resolu
tions expressing gratification that so
much progress has been made tow
ard the improvement of roads in the
state without a state bond issue to
burden posterity. Between the lines,
we should think, is the meaning that
the country bankers of Georgia are
opposed to the proposed state-wide
bond issue.”
The Bainbridge Post-Searchlight,
edited by Pat Griffin, a member of
thl Georgia Legislaturee says: “The
women are all here with their pro
posed legislation. Some of it is good
and some of it is hysterical. To rend
some of the laws proposed by some
of them you would imagine them
married to hyenas, but say that and
they would spit in your face. Like
th- men, they want the laws passed
for the other fellow. Passing laws
for the other fellow is the reason
that the statute books are all clut
tered up now. Men and women a*e
just tflike.”
w
Lexington is certainly unfortunnte
about fires. Within the last few
months two disastrous fires have vis
ited that town. Last week the fifth
big fire in a little more than four
years burned the Lexington mill and
ginnery plant, that was owned by H.
F. Colquitt. A negro house adjoin
ing, belonging to Dr. Reynolds, was
also burned, and it took heroic ef
forts to keep the blaze from spread
ing. The loss is* estimated at $lO,-
000, with $5,000 insurance. The fire
is thought to have been caused by
spontaneous combustion.
The Herald is in receipt of an in
teresting letter from John T. Lee, a

tered the service of his country in

place the ship goes to New Zealand,

California, on October Ist. Mr. Lee
hopes at that time to have a vaca
tion of 30 days in and around Jeffer
son. In all of his travels, he has
found no place like bhe old red hills
of Jackson county.
Few people are aware of the fact
that Oconee Street Methodist church,

class organized by Ellison D. Stone
in 1857, and that this class is still
flourishing with 250 members on roll.
A son of Rev. Stone is notv superin
tendent of the Sunday school, and
another son teaches the class organ
ized by his father. This great work
of a Godly man was certainly pood

beinjr reaped. This class recently
