One corner Of that F" Jimmycane %

At Harms place it blew over his
granary, wrecked his wind mill, rip
ped the shingles off his house and tore
up Ned generally. When it got to
Old Hamlin the wind swiped the
belfry off the school house quicker
than you could say Jack Robinson
and then scurried away for Manitoba

er damage.
