through tin roofs For two hours after
the storm, the citizens were using snow
sho, els to clear the hail from side
walks. In some places it was two
inches deep. Orchards, corn, snd to-
mato fields suffered severely, and small
branches became roaring torrents with
the rain that fell with the hail. No
serious personal injury however was
done.

Iowa, made us pleasant call last
Monday. He is at his old home near

weather has made crops of corn light
where he lives in Iowa, and the general
yield there will be no better than here.

farm business there. Mr., Hough has
made good investments in Iowa lands
and contemplates quitting farming al
together and taking things easy here
after. There is standing invitation
