Iteports from other seetions ot the county have jiot yet come in and it is not known whether or not damage was done to them by the hail The State papers inform us that the hail storm was general and that much damage was done to crops. Fortunately, however, neither in HoYry or elsewhere in the State was there a loss of a human life, though sto^kr which was not housed suffered to a if renter or less extent. Some say that considerable hail fell here in Conway Tuesday afternoon, but the stones were small and did no material damage. Bad Accident wliti Powder.

More than six months has passed away since I saw an object with my natural eye, in South Carolina and longer by a day since I beheld light in the Independent Republic of Horry, but iu my thoughts and dreams, 1 have often been there. Through and by the influence of some of my school mates of former days, coupled with a desire to see some of tho outside world, was it that I decided to go to Florida, and on the 23rd day of l ist October 1 started ou a most pleasant trip. Arriving in the littlo town of Kisseinmio which is beautifully situated on the water's edge and western side of luke Tohopelika. I found a hospitable people, ere I had been there two months 1 had met a surprising per cent of the open hearted people iu a rati las of ten miles from town, had eaten and slept wit h them and enjoyed banquet 1n their halls. The'climate seemed to have been C.sniM'.iidlv fnvitesihh* t.o mv nhviiotil condition?in loss than two months 1 gained twenty pounds. Amid the favorable things mentioned, an Abundant yie?d of fruit, the apparent idleness and pospe: ity of the people and an attachment of newly made rriends, Providence so arranged that I should come to Moultrie, and 1 liuve never regretted any of my changes yet However, the resigning of my position with the Spivey Mercantile Co., was a painful move, out now it is done and I think it will work out for'the best in the end, for all that ends well is well. My two months stay ou the farm with my folks before leaving home was a most pleasant stay though ousy. As for Moultrie it is the most adnireable place to live. 1 find the 'oiks to bo an affable hustling big learted people, and 1 am quite sure that no town in the Union of equal iizo has a larger per cent, of pious ihuroh goiug people. Fully ninety jer cent of them ' partake of the ;ommuniou table.
