did the heavy work myself, "r and I
never eu Joyed lire more than down on

publicity. Here I was Just a farmer

From time to time, of course, I went

town, rut It up Into lots and sold agulu
with a iintllt of $20,000. A friend of
mine and myself cleared $.15,000 on
another tract, so I didn't need Bk1"

With Hail' Thunder;' Lightning
; Heavy Bainfall. Damage
" -About City ; " '
Shortly after on o'clock yesterday
afternoon, this city was visited by a
very sever storm. ' It was hot and
sultry daring the morning, but the lint
storm three tenings gave no evidence of
what followed. First flurries of rain,
then heavier with great down pours for
minutes. There war rallies from lull
periods, then heavy thunder with sharp
lightning. Tba storm itself lasted about
an hour, tba rainfall waa 2.60 inches,
The wind blew Hard at times, and veer
ed to all points I of the compass. The
local phone service suffered from crossed
wires and a number of phones were dis
abled. Some hail fell and there was a
drop in temperature for a short time.
The section of Metcalf and Broad, and
NfW and George streets Was under
water, and lots in the vicinity filled
with water to the suffering of those '
living nearby. ' ' ; v
: Shocked by Lightning.
Early yesterday afternoon Mr.' Wm
Oast who is employed by Mr. P. Tren-i
with,, who conducts a blacksmith and
repair . shop on South Front street,
went out on Trent river to catch a
bunch of fish, when the storm came up
he was unable to reach the shore so
rowed his boat underneath the bridge.
While waiting for the storm to abate,
lightning struck the water nearby and
Mr. Oast being so near was ' knocked
senseless by , the force of the shock.
In this condition he was found and
brought ' to the shore after which he
was carried to his room and a physician
was called in to give him medical atten
tion. - Mr. Oast is. about 63 years old
anl the severe shock completely un
nerved him for several hours but it is
more than probable' that there will be
no seriuos after effects. "
This buying waa consequently thought new Union passenger depot, that is to
be erected to serve the Norfolk-South-

no other news to account for the ad
