Accompanying the rain Satur-
day there was quite a wind and
thunder storm. The wind blew a
gale and the lightning made the
night as bright as day-continued
flash after flash Illuminating the
sky. South of here the storm was
much worse than it was here. At
the telephone camp at Tip Top the
storm was so severe that the men
became frightened, got up and
dressed, fearing every minute that
the tents would be blown away.
Eventually the storm abated with
out any great damage resulting.
Further south, however, the wind
was even more severe and no little
damage is reported.

The members and friends of the
Baptist Church spent a pleasant
and profitable time together at
their Rally Day meeting, on last
Saturday. There was a good at

into the spirit of the day. After a

morning and the afternoon services
was spent socially and in serving
the lunch. 1t was the pastors
birthday, and he was the recipient
