STORM AT WASHINGTON X. O.
(By Mrs J. L. P.)
Our town has had a sad disaster
A storm of wind, and tide and rain
We have seen many- Storms of yore
Never one like this before.
Water .came In. homea.and stores. .
Soiling carpets,-' goods and floors,
And boats were sailing up the street
It was enough to make men weep.
The county and the railroad bridge?
Were a total wreck aad ruin,
Several boats were beaten so
To the bottom had to go.
Tops of houses and of stores
Were torn away by winds galore.
And the rain came pouring down, 1
