The finest and prettiest men!
hats are Mt the Red store.

last Tuesday night, about ten
o'clock, our town was visited by a
most terrific rain and wind storm,
lasting until after midnight. Fortu-
nately no great damage was done.
Some fences were blown down, also
corn. At one time the wind blow
with such violence as to cause the
belief that another tornado was WIS.,
iting MS, and it was a great relief to
many hearts when the wind subsid-
ed, and the little ones could be tuck
cd comfortably in bed, all fears con-
corning the blowing down of houses
and the desolation Of homes having
subsidized with it.

ment that, if we desired, it the au-
thor would furnish us with more at
nc subsequent time. This style
of composition is not what we de-
sire, we have large fund to draw

interesting local or ncighborhood
news, accounts of crops, progress OF
farm work, society news, ct, Such
articles will always find welcome
and conspicuous place in our col
umns. We are not soliciting poetry
or anecdotes. The one is as difficult
to write as the other is to tell, and
neither awaken an interest unless
they arc fresh, inspiring and origi-
nal. If we want poor verses we have
only to start our own machine, and
have the advantage over that of con-
tributors in the fact that We can
read our own lines when we cannot
always read theirs. Rhyme is not
poetry, though it adds much to it,
and ifthere Is any one thing we wish
to be delivered from it is the under
taking to make poetry with no 9th
err material TO work on but the
rhyme.
