The Storm Last Thursday Night Sotnter was a atorra center last Thursday night, and for a few minutes the wind blew with such unprecedented fury that the greatest terror prevailed. Tbe wind was accompanied by an incessant discharge of electricity, the lightning flashing and thunder pealing and roaring as if tbe wbole of heaven's artillery bad been brought into action. Tbe rain was blown io sheets ahead of the wiod, and bail was driven against the sides of bouses like era pe shot The storm attained its greatest fury in a few minnies, and was over almost as quickly, otherwise the damage would have been mach more serious thao it was. . Wheo, tb? storm Tiadfpassed over, the towo was left io darkness, tbe electric light wires baviog beeo carried dowo by falling limbs that bad been wrenched from the sbade trees io crest nombera io ail parts of tbe city. Tbe damage wrought by the storm was as follows : A chimney was Mown down oo one end of Ur B. J. Barby's residence, crushing in tbe roof aod completely wreckiog ooe room. No ooe was io the room at the time except a negro boy who had beeo sent to pot dowo the windows, aod h- escaped practically un burt, but scared out of bis wits.

Old residents say that while the blow last? ed it was folly as severs as aoy that bas ever beeo felt io this city, with the exception, possibly, of the storm of the Spring of 1893, which lasted longer aod did more damage.

Tbe fall of bail was oot general aod the ag? gregate damage to crops was oot serious. The oven of J. M. Dicks, tbe baker, which was situated in tbe outskirts of tbe city was blown, down by tbe storm on Thursday night. A Card of Thanks.
