Residents of sections of Root township report that the rains of Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons brought with them hail. The hail storm of Tuesday was especially heavy and in some places the hail stones were as large as the thumb-end, and could be scooped up from the ground. These days of sudden thunder showers cause great terror among the younger people, and quite frequently among the older ones. "I can well remember,” said one Decatur perron. "how frightened I used to be when about five or six years old, and how I would run and hide my face in terror in my mother's lap when the thunder and lightning raged. She told time and again of a good minister who told how he loved to sit on the porch during such times and watch the electrical displays, and how he loved to think that the thunder and lightning was God laughing, and that there was nothing to fear. It took me some time, however, to rid myself of the fear, with that thought, but as I grew older and lost my fear, it seemed more true to me also, and now a storm never comes up but what I think of the manifestations as the laughter of God and feel comforted.”
