During the storm last Saturday evening lightning struck and fired the pack house of Mr. J.M. Oakley, near here. The building, a two-story structure, was a total loss and was estimated to be worth $700, and its contents valued at about $50. There was only $450 insurance on the building.
Mr. Oakley is now rushing to rebuild as he will have tobacco ready for the packhouse in about 40 days.
