Rutherford Sun
A heavy hail storm visited the Mt. Moriah section near the Rutherford-Cleveland line Thursday afternoon and did much damage. Fruit was beat off the trees and grain was practically destroyed. Some hail balls were about as large a guinea eggs. One man racked five bushels out of the valley on his house. Window lights were broken out in some homes. The storm came out of the mountains and ranged towards Shelby. Messrs. P.R Turner and R.C. Fortenberry where hear Monday with the beat off fruit, small limbs, etc. There was some hail on the ground Sunday.
