That Cloud
Last Sunday at aoou't 9 t m the
streets of Mannsviile became entirely
deserted A tWck heavy black clout
in the north and northeast looked om-
inous indeed and appeared to portend
an impending storm Streaks of fork-
ed lightning coursed the heavenly
orch and the low echo of muttering
thunder gave a "threatening portend
Our porch had been blown down in a
sterm about three Veeks ago and we
walked down toward the depot to talk
to some one about the cloud But not
a soul was to be seen All had gone
home to make preparation to protect
themselves - against something — they
knew not what The whole heavens
at times were illuminated and great
danger seemed to -threaten the town
But the storm did not come ’ The
lightuing played nearly all night but
the black cloud moved around to the
northeast and disappeared aud we
we were spared the ravages of wliat
might have been a destructive bum
caue But it rained Monday and
Tuesday and the grouud was thor-
oughly soaked
