Storm ut West Springs. A very severe wind and rain storm i visited the West Springs section last I Friday evening, about d p. m., ae- 1 companicd by heavy thunder and bright flashes of lightning. Considerable damage was done to crops and fruit trees. At Mr. John Lawsou's the top of a chimney was blown oiT and several of the bricks feli down the chimney and came noar falling on his child in tho cradle near the Jire place. At Jerry Jeter's place there were a number of peach trees blown up by the roots and one houso moved from its foundation. Cotton is badly beaten with the hail that fell during i the storm. 1 At the B. W. Lee place two tine < apple trees wero blown down also ' some twenty or thirty peach trees, some of them being carried 5 yards 1 from where they stood. The track of the storm seemed to be from one mile to one and a half miles in width. West Springs section has hud a bad i/init* 01 ii< mu iusi/ iuw inonins wun j !ier fire bugs, wind storms and floods of rain. Mr. M. li. Lee informs us that, he has not been able to plow but 1 days ! in six weeks, the gruss is about to tako everything, lie had one of tho finest wheat crops in that section, but the rains coino after it had boon shocked, and tho wheat sprouted so that out of his 185 do/en bundles ho only got 15 bushels, not half of tho wheat raised. A great deal of it was ruined by sprouting in the shocks. Many of tho farmers have not yet been over their cotton tho first time with tho hoe. The bottom corn is firing and the blades turning red. It has been so wet that it is impossible to do anything with it. Mr. Leo says he lias not touched his. Ono farmor was determined to replant, so ho pulled off his shoes and took a stick with him. Ho would ; stick a liolo in tho wet ground drop j the corn in and tramp the dirt over ! me grains, mui. is me wuy ne repaint- | ed. lie deserves success. Somo of them are contemplating i turning out some of their cotton land, one having already turned outBOacres. The loss to the wheat crop by the recent rains is estimated to be BO per cent. The stubble land will bo . planted if they can get to it with a . plow in time. Mr. Lee says that the [ wheat in tho shocks that he capped did not sprout half as bad as that which was left unprotected, and his advice hereaftetf will bo for all to cap their wheat when they stack it. We sympathize with our friends in this section in their misfortune, but hopo they have all, notwithstanding the disadvantages with which they had 1 to contend, made plenty of wheat to I do them.
