A terrific hail storm passed over
Oakland about eleven o'clock Mon
day morning. The hail was ac-
companied by high wind, heavy
thunder, vivid flashes of lightning
and a heavy fall of rain. The only
damage, as far as we can learn,
was the partial demolition of one
of Mr.. Henry Weber's new hot
houses. The loss is about 800.
Since putting the above in type,
we learn through our Swanton cor
respondent, that the residence of
James Friend, who lives two m les
from Deer Park, was blown down
and by which Mr.. Friend was badly
though not dangerously injured.
His child Jared even worse, it being
injured to such an extent that there
is little hopes of its recovery. Trees
and the top of the chimney on DR..
Laughlin's residence in Deer Park,
were blown to the ground.

The Jr. o. U. A. M. at Church.


Sunday, November %, being des-
ignated by the Grand Councillor,
Jr. o. U. A. NJ, as a day of thanks
giving, and all councils ordered to
attend divine worship in some church
in body. Garrett Council No. 35,
of Oakland, assembled in their hall
at $50 a. m. on that day, and pro-
ceeded to st. Paul's M. E. church
where, by previous arrangements,
seats had been reserved for them.
The Rev. G. W. Kepler, pastor of
the church, assisted by the Rev. W.
L. Leisher, of the Ev. Lutheran
church, conducted the services.
The sermon, from the text, "And
now abideth faith, hope, charity,
these three; but the greatest of
these is charity Il Cor. 1919, was
one admirably suited to the Occa-
sion, was one of the Reverend's
happiest efforts, and was thoroughly
enjoyed by the large congregation,
and especially by the society boys.
The members of the order were
clothed in their beautiful regalia,
and presented handsome appear
ance, which was favorably COM
mented upon by all who saw them;
and many have since expressed a
desire to become members of the
order.
The following resolutions were
unanimously adopted at the regular
meeting of the lodge, Tuesday
night:
We, the officers and members of
Garrett Council No. IS, Jr. O. U.
A. NJ, extend our thanks to the
Rev. G. W. Kepler for the able ad-
dress delivered to our order and
others, in the NJ. E. church on last
last Sabbath morning; also to the
Rev. W. L. Leisher for his eloquent
closing prayer.
We also extend our thanks to the
trustees and members of the NJ. Z.
church for the kindness of allowing
us the use of their church.
Last, but not least, we extend our
thanks to all the people that met
with us to worship our God, who is
the ruler and protector of our uni
verse and order.
