It Was the Centre of Disturbance Twenty Minutes and the Wreck of Growing Crops Was Complete- Help is Now Needed. - Raleigh, 1ST. C, June 10. A special from Thomasville, to the News and Observer says : One of the most furious arid disas trous hail storms that the oldest cit zens ever saw, fell here last Thurs day. Fortunately the track ol the storm was narrow only three or four miles in width, but it played havoc with everything in the way of vegetation in its path. The Orphanage was not far from the centre of the disastrious storm, and for twenty minutes the wind blew and the hail battered in , wild fury. It w&s a strange sight and sound. The wreck of the .growing crop was complete. The loss to the Orphanage will not fall under a thousand dollars; but the greatest loss can not be repaired by money, fur it was the total annihiliation of the vegetables which through the long hot months is a large part of the living of the children and which J they crave and need. There are numberless friends of the institution who would gladly share their last cabbage with the Or phanage, Jbu t thqy jirersmote from iBls section, they are helpless to sup ply this need. The one disadvantage in ihe location of the institution is that it is so far from its warmest and most generous friends. The wheat crop would have yield ed from 400 to 500 bushels and it is absolutely destroyed. Corn is torn into ribbons, and peas, Irish potatoes and beans are ruined. Many of our neighbors are great sufferers, and some of them can ill afford to sustain the loss of their wheat crops. Mr. T. F. Harris, of Thomasville, says that he would not give a dollar for a field of wheat that would have made 700 bushels. The damage to- buildings wasnot considerable. The principle loss at the orphanage is in shadowed win dow panes. The hail was of immense size, but it was more destructive be cause of the rapidity and force with which it fell. Friday morning the earth was covered with debris,and the air heavy with the odor of bruised vegetation. Kev. J. B. Boone,, the general manager of the Orphanage, says that he has suffered much personal loss in his life, but that no misfortune that has befallen him hitherto has so keenly affected him as the loss to the orphanage of the magnificient crop that would soon have been harvested. His Life Was Saved. Mr, J. E. Lilly, a prominent citiz en of HannioaL Mo., lately had a wonderful deliverance from a fright ful death. In telling ot it he says: 'l was taken with Typhoid Fever, that run into Pneumonia, My lungs became hardened I was so weak, I couldn't even sit up in bed, Noth ing helped me I expected to soon die of Consumption, when I heard of Dr. King's ; New Discovery. One bottle grave great reliel. 1 continued to use it. andnotv am well and strong I can't sav too much in its praise." this marvellous medicine is the nnickest cure in the world vfor all Throat and Lung trouble.

J. H. Lamberth brought sorrow to many, not only those who were members of his own church, but among all who knew him. W My first . acquaintance with him extended through a period of fifteen years, I met him when he first came to the county, and the first sermon I heard him preach was in Ephesus church, Person county, N. C. . He made a good impression . among our people, and from that time antil the day of his death, he was held in the highest esteem, not only by his own church people, but by the entire community. He was a close student of the scripture, and preached with much force and power. Through his f ait hf ul services as Pastor, the church at Ephesus dou bled in numbers, and those connected with it, will unite in saying that they were greatly benefitted by his teach ing and preaching, extending through a series of many years. t No pastor was more respected and beloved by his people than Rev J, H . Lambefth. His works" and hfs memory will live and be cherishea for years to come. His familiar face will be missed, not only in the pul pit, but by the friends of the hospit jable and Christian people of this community. He was a true friend, an honora ble upright man, in all the works of life He set a good example among all whom he served. He took much interest in the Sunday school, and in young people. ' He was my friend in the early days of my life, and he was ever a friend to all of my friends. His visits to our home were always looked forward to with pleasure. He was well known to the people of Person county and had an extensive ac quaintance throughout the State and he will be greatly missed by. his church and friends. : Cut down at an early age, andrhis useful life ended, we can say with 'Jerimiah," "All ye that are about him bemoan him; and all ye that know his name, say, how is the strong staff broken, and the beauti- ful rod?" J. S. C. Death at Allensville. Mrs. J. B. Tingen, wife of one of the county's best farmers, and a re spected citizen, died at home, near Allensville, Saturday evening. Her disease was cancer of the breast, but she did not suffer much pain. She leaves a husband and several chil dren to mourn for a loving mother. She wa's an aunt of Mr. Yarboro, of this place. Her remains were in terred at the old home place, where ohe spent her childhood. The Courier, with many others, extend sympathy to the family in their sad affliction.
