Struck by Lightning

A lightning bolt struck the home of J. W. Overstreet yesterday morning at 3 o’clock. The bolt struck the kitchen roof, tore away the brick flue, shattered windows and stove pipe, and set fire to the kitchen ceiling.

The crash awakened Mr. Overstreet, who quickly extinguished the blaze.

This house was badly damaged last year in the storm that struck the west part of town.
