Also we noted a sound on the roof that reminded us of acorns falling in the fall. Nothing parti cular was noted In the sky and the wind was not too strong. A heavy black cloud was overhead and a few flashes of lightning were seen. The noise grew strong er and the thought of a cyclone flashed through my mind. I ran into the street to lee If a train was passing and then looked into the sky for signs of a funnel shaped cloud. The noise grew louder and closer. The sky got darker and suddenly the bottom of the sky seemed to open and hall covered everything. Hail as large as guinea eggs literally covered the streets tearing leaves from the trees and damaging shrubbery and flowers. In a few minutes it was over. I drove out of town, south, for about two miles and found the hall had run out Towards Kenansville it seemed to have played out about a mile from town I saw one corn field literally ruined. Reports say over 100 window glass were broken out of the high school building. Following the ball a light rain set in. Friday morning we . have not heard of any hall from other parts of the county. .
