A small-sized tornado passed over the

ment from its base, breaking it In pieces.

hear Of its doing any more damage.
We call the attention OF our readers to the
advertisement of J. N. Allen. Although this
is comparatively new establishment, its rep
utation for good goods and fair and satisfac-
tory dealing Is established thoroughly
throughout the country. Farmers who desire
agricultural implements should not fail to call
at Aliens and look over his magnificent ar
ray Of machines.

that while the columns Of the Journal are
open To all who desire TO discuss topics OF
general interest, we cannot allow space for 4
war Of.'creeds." Man is sinful in and out OF
the church, but that is no ground for con.
,lemnins any particular creed or belief. The
object Of all church creeds Is TO make men
better, and il they fail In It in this or that in
stance, there is no reason tor heaping ava
lanches OF abuse upon them.

The matter will be discussed ut the Council
meeting next Monday evening. Some OF tn
: cOuncilmen are in favor Of sending to SOM

action will be pursued. Very few peOPl

I hand or steam fire engines, and desire tn
water works plan, providing it does not cos
too much. After estimates have been made
would be well to call public meeting OF tn
taxpayers and then debate the question as +
whether they are reasonable or not.
