"I wants joes five cent.s wnf."
"Why, that is just one (lose," was

ME~TEOROLOoIcAL. - The different
sections of the county, as far as ascer
tainxed, have beeir visited by copious
showers which wvero very much need
ed.- In some sections these showvers
were accomp'anied by hail and scvere
winid. In the neighborhood of Glad
den's Grove the hail stones were -an
inch and a half in diameter, and were
precipitated with such force as to peal
the bark entirely from the trees, and
the face of the ear'th was strewn with
tender limbs and leaves broken off by
the storm. Mr. J. 0. Mobley had
seven tenant houses bldwn down. On
Ithe morning after the storm, which
occurred Friday pevening, fill stones
were lying in piles in the public road
Iin some places six inc~hes deep. The
storm was also very severe at Ridge
way, and much damage done to fenc
ing and houses.
A correspondent, describing the
storm, says: "Our little rose beds in
the yard, sad as was the spectacle
p resented by their bare stems, were
beautiful to behold, with the rich
grebn leaves and various colored roses
embedded iu bright crystals." In the
track of the hall-storm growing crops
were unch damaged and fields of
wheat entirely destroyed.
A CARD.
Messrs. Editors; Mr. W. II. Kerr,
i n a card. published In a recent issue
of your in'teresting paper, adverts to a
rujnor alleged to be current, to wit:
"In 1884 I promised Mr. W. 1P. Gib
son not to opposo Mr. R. II. Jennings
at the coming election, provided Mr.
J. would' withdraw from the then
second primary," and adds, "that such
report is without any foundation in
fact."
In reply I wish to say, I am iiot i.e.
sponsible for the report In the shape
presented by Mr. K.,- and . submIt
below, as I recall It, an accurate
reeitM1 of my Interview with Mr. K.,
which was had at the time he mentions
and was strictly between us, there
being no other person present.

I felt much interest in the success of I
my friend Jennings, who was being I
hard pressed by t&1o vast majority of d
his friends to contest' in a second pri- I
mary, I was of the insignificent minor- '
ity who advised differently, ptovided I
Mr. K. Would agree not to be. a cn- e
didato in 1888. -
And now for the interview. I E
asked: "Mr. K. will you agree to 3
withdraw?" Mr. K. interrupting, re- 1
joined, "You can't think I would be C
so foolish." I do not remember his
saying to withdraw would be the best -
day's work Mr. J. over did for him- a
self. (Mr. K., I think, does himself
injustice in admitting that he ipdulged
in an expression so little adorned with
iniodesty.) I said: "I1 did no co
plete my question, I mean in the camn- i
paign of 1888?" Mr. K., "Oh I of t
courise. I never expect to offer for the n
office again." This, I think. covers
the ground of our interview so far as C
e
Mr. K.'s card has made it a matter of
public interest, and I would close here i
but I cannot alloiw to pass unnoticed a
Mr. K.'s statement, to wit: "I was lb
aplproachbed on the (lay in question by I
Mr. G. who made such a proposition,~
to which I posisivoly declined to 1
accede." I call upon Mr. K. to state,
whether or not I have correctly de
tailed the language of our interview as
given above, and if so, the public can
(1ecide as to whether I made the,alleg- e
ed.proposition. Mr. K.el~aims to have ti
positive proof as well as circumstan- e
tialtf what he states. I cannot ap- ..
prebend how. this may be, as we wore
alone, but, however this is, I shall
gladly welcome. the production ofa
witness, as I would be thus assuredof
a corroboration of my atatements.a
