The funeral of Mrs. H. BullamOre
was attended by a large number of
friends. Over thirty teams came on
from Pleasant Prairie. Services by
Elder Corsbie.
Miss Wilbur. teacher Of the Stannard
school, went home to Wilmot on Fri
day last.
Miss Dora Chaffee returned home
to Racine on Saturday, being anx-
ious to learn if the folks were all safe.
The cyclone at Racine had alarmed
her.
A number of people in Bristol saw
the cyclone of Friday last, but we es-
capped with scare.
Mr.. A. G. JoslYn had about twenty
rods of rail fence blown down; even
the bottom rails were moved off the
line, and any number of gaps were
made in board fences by the wind.
We have boosted Of being free from
storms of a violent nature hitherto,
but this was close shave. Our turn
may soon come.
The outlook for corn this year is
rather bad round Bristol.
One of our young men, Frank HOr-
ton, had very narrow escape. He
was thrown against board fence and
made inSensible. When he came to
himself he was in slough hole, the
water of which was taken up by the
storm.
Messrs. Blackman and Myrivk have
purchased of Mr.. w. Durham full
blooded Norman horse, said to be a
very handsome coal black. Nothing
like getting the best when you buy
anything.
A dynamiter was around Wood
worth on Tuesday last showing how
to do it. He put cartridge under a
stump, and, oh, my! you would have
to 60 long way to find the pieces.
There are some rocks weighing three
or four tons, but they must come out
of the way of the plow.
Neighbor Shepard has again been
sick. The campaign in the unpleas-
antness with our southern brother has
made such inroads on his constitution
that he will never be thoroughly strong
again.
Mr.. Robert Patterson, Of Brighton,
met with a serious loss in the late
storm. All his buildings but the
house were blown to pieces. and that
was badly wrecked. He lately bought
an adjoining farm; on that the barn
was destroyed, and the house taken OFF
the foundation. Nearly all his fences
were blown down, but the neighbors
turned out, and helped put up enough
to keep cattle off his crops. Robert,
by constant industry and economy had
got good comfortable home, Ind by
his integrity, had won the respect OF
his neighbors, who sympathiZ9 with
him in his misfortune. But Robert
will pull through; he is not the man to
succumb to trifles; but loss of two
| thousand dollars is not trifie by any
means.
| Mr.. Thos. Hartnell's barns and out
buildings. of Brighton, were seriously
damaged by the tornado on Friday af
ternoon. Mr.. Hartnell was somewhat
injured himself. He was driving along
with his team, having his corn planter
in the wagon. He and the corn-plantel
J were lifted out of the wagon. Thu
horses seemed to be stupefed by th'
shock of the storm. Mr.. Herman
Swartz's barn was unr0ofed and tn
! material Of the roof blown so far tina
, nothing of it can be found. Minton'
blacksmith's shop at Paris Corners wa
wrecked. Mr.. Grifiths, blacksmith
! at Paris Corners, was driving on tn
, road when the tornado overlook hin
and lifted horses and wagon bodil
+ from the ground. It is not to b
wondered at that under such circum
stances a man should suppose the ger
, eral judgment had come. The Hnlet
school on the county line is wrecked
! The destruction on Mr.. Chef. Hulett'
, place was terrific. All his barn
! totally wrecked. The wing OF tn
! house blown down and the main pal
> twisted on its foundation. Wagon
: and farm implements blown beyon
sight or ken with all the poultry. 0
