VIOLENT WIND’S
DISASTROUS WORK.
Struck Newport Tuesday After
noon In a Deluge of Water
' and Wind.
The storm of Tuesday after
noon ranks as one of the most
violent suffered in recent years
by our lowland city, and while it
would hardly be worthy of note
in the hills, our comparative free
dom from storms makes it men
tions ble here. /
The tin roofing over the two
§tory building occupied by Chas.
Meyer on the first floor and Drs.
West & Walker, A. J. Frank and
A. Kellett on the second floor,
was doubled back by the wind
and the rain poured through the
unprotected roof. The rooms up
stairs were pretty badly soaked,
except the offices of Drs. West &
Walker, but Charles Meyer man
aged to get most of his stock out
of the front end before the water
had siped through. This build
ing is owned by Mrs. Rina
Wishon, and protected by tor
nado insurance.
The skylight in the store build
ing occupied by Capt. W. A.
Joyce was lifted completely off
ahd the rain came down into the
store in a deluge.
The pumphouse was unroofed
and the, smokestack blown down.
One of the upper front win
dows in O’Neal’s saloon was
blown in, being a very large and
: heavy plate glass.
A tree in front of I. D. Price’s
in the railroad park was blown
down, barely missing a team
attached to a wagon. The
horses are said not to have been
frightened.
Electric light wires were blown
down in places and the insula
tion stripped from the wire
proper.
Shade trees about town suf
fered seriously by the high wind.

CLASS RECITAL.
The music pupils of Miss Mae
Whittaker gave their annual
recitation Tuesday evening,
which was enjoyed by the parents
and friends of the pupils.
The advancement made by the
class this year was certainly very
creditable to Miss Whittaker,
who is a very thorough and
painstaking teacher.

day afternoon and was called to
order by the president. The

cellent one, was not all carried
out on account of so many ab- j
sentees. However, those present
filled their parts admirably, and
Beethoven, that popular compo

ser, whose music is always a
favorite, was the subject.
