Another Severe Storm.
Another storm of unusual severity
broke over the city with terrifying force
and suddenness Saturday night about
half past eight o'clock. Rain fell in
torrents, and a high -wind which came
almost .simultaneously shook things up
alarmingly. The first flash of light-ning,
which, by the way, was a aizzler,

MARKET REPORT.
The receipts on our market for the
past week have been very heavy, in
fact, the largest of the season thus far
and the' largest we have ever seen for
the corresponding week on this mar-ket.
It seems that farmers in every
direction have saved primings that
they have heretofore been throwing
away and that they are trying to mar-ket
them as fast as they are saved.
Our buyers seem to be very anxious
for these primings and are maintain-ing
the market at very satisfactory
prices to the seller. Almost all the

the park were compelled to remain
there until matters were righted along
the street car line, which was overflow-ed
in several places. The storm at the
park was not as severe as in the city.
Considerable damage was done to
property on the west and south sides of
the city, where the full force of the
storm seemed to be exerted. Several
chimneys were blown down," limbs
one sucker and top that at six to eight
leaves. This will enable them to get a
fair crop of medium tillers, which are
selling well at this time. We would
also suggest to them to save all the
leaves that are worth saving, which
were beaten off. Ofcourse, Greensboro
tobacco men regret this storm as much
as the farmers, but it matters not how
much we regret it, we cannot help it,
and the best we can do is to try again.
