Thursday, May Hi, a heavy. rain
areompnied by much bail fell iu a
seclion of Kralh county extending
easl from Dublin to Duffau, Ire-
dell, Johnsville and Chalk Mountain
and seven miles in width* and crops
of wheal, oats, cotton, corn and
garden stuff sustained great dam-
age.
. South <>f ibe 1 >. Bi Box place aL
Johnsville il is said that wheat
was so badly damaged it cannot Q
make anything, the beads being
broken off.
Damage on the flume Anderson
farm is placed at $2,000, Cy Cox
•!istaiiied a loss of $000 to $700, be-
sides being cut. out. of the thresh-
ing el giainn iu that section, be-
cause there will be none to thresh.
Ed Winburn, Ed. Shaw, and John
W illingham lost their grain crops
Hail damaged grain crops on the
M. Hurt farm.
I lie hail increased in fury as Ihe
storm spread toward Iredell.
Cal Laney of near Duffau lost
I about $1000 worth of crops,
j On Route Five, south of Steph-
■ Miville, and soutli of Lee Hughes*
place the hail damage was hea-
vy, J). C. Williams and Dan Allen,
being heavy losers.
Warren Payne, near Johnson had
all his crops destroyed.
Coin iu all this strip of country
25 miles long and seven miles in
width was cut to pieces, hut may
recover.
There were good acreages in gar-
dens and pinto beans, ami much
cotton was up, and but little was
left of these crops.
Around Alexander the fall of
hail was very heavy, hut the hail
stones were small and so numerous
they pelted the life out of all ten-
der vegetation, and. ruined fruit,
crops.
Tons, and tons of hail stones fell
during the late afternoon in the
section named, and in some places
the stones drifted into great heaps
If Clay Sandidge of Stephenville
could have accumulated the entire
unount precipitated he would have
acquired a three-year supply for
his Stephenville trade. He regrett-
ed In' did not have a big hopper to
‘onvey the frozen missiles to his
warehouse here.
The rain was quite general ex-
tending all over the county, but no
damage was done outside the zone
above alluded to.
While the storm was brewing the
heavy, threatening clouds south of
Stephenville shut out the light", and
it was quite dark at Stephenville,
and people here know that a great
aerial battle in the elements above
was going on, and that props were
being destroyed. As no air craft
were available our citizens were
unable to go to the assfstanre of
I In'ii* friends ,%'Uth of us, to shoot
anti hailstone shells into the cen-
ter of the storm formation to dis-
perse it.
