From the best Information 1 can get 1t crossed the Saline river at or near Cornishes lerry, though it did no damage urtil 1t reached Mir. Oliver Martins. There 1t Was get ting low enough to demolish his lawn, snatched 2 post from under one corner of the gallery, blew down a tenant Iouse on the II. w. Wells farm and scattered the fence everywhere. Ii next struck MT. Bob. Jinkins field, which was all fresh land, aldit was Utterly GOV cred in logs. 1 have been told that twenty odd hands rolled logs three days, on abouttwelve acres, and then didn't ge done. The Char ley Matthews place was next in its path, and was demolished. It then came on to w. T. Richard son's; it struck this place on the west side and came about a mile and a half though this farm, tear ing down fences and timber. There were twentyor twenty-five acres of fresh landthatit passed through, and you cou-d have walked from one side to he other on logs. You must remen Der that it was taking almost evsrything in its path, which was from one hundred and fifty yards to one mile wide. MT. Richardsoa had two tenant houses blown do, n, the roofs of which have not, IS yet, been heard from. Ills dwelling narrowly escaped. 1 IIaahnrr N alkers' place comes next, which is small place of about 2c acres, and it was blown to atoms from one side to the other. Ther it entered L. B. Owens field, tore down nearly all the fence and tim Der, blew down his crib and stable, and carried off about half of hi fodder. Now, we come to the ]
 II. Cavaness place, where every
 thing was blown away; hardly : tree left. There were eight or nine persons in the house, and if yot could have seen the rubbish as the cyclone left 1t, you would have said that if anybody had beer in the house they could not have escaped with their lives, much les. without broken bones. There were whole houses blown away

Y. w. C. A. NOTES.
The Association Has Planned
Course in Domestic Science.

The Y. w. c.. A. has planned a
course of domestic science to cover
periods of three months each.
The girls who attend a full course
will receive a certificate so stating.
The object of such classes is to make
girls self-supporting and better fitted
to fill positions in the home.
There will be instruction given in
plain cooking, as we'll as in making
wholesome and palatable desserts and
salads. Besides there will be practical
demonstrations in the care of the side
board, setting the table and the
hygienic arrangement of menus for diff
ferent meals, especially what COM
binations to avoid Economic cooking
will be taught, and the desire is to
make the training decidedly practical
in every department. If the demand
is large enough there will be class
in plain sewing. Other classes will be
announced later in the month, but it
is desired that all classes shall open
the first week in October.
Ladies who are obliged to hire do
mestics could not invest money better
than to take out season tickets for their
help. Any person wishing to help girls
too poor to pay for the lessons can do
so by leaving the money with the Sec
retary.
After Monday next girls may register
for the classes at the rooms. A class
rally will be announced later.
