One of the evidences ofsupreme
gall sprung upon an unsuspecting
public come to light yesterday. A
lady who had made some purchases
at q store in Fonda asked the pro-
prietor to give her credit for short
time as she had sent all her ready
cash to Chicago department. store
for certain articles. And the mer
chant charged it and said nothing.
No one would believe that a person
would have the cheek to ask for
credit on such grounds, but the
above is absolutely true. And we
wonder why the community does
not prosper.-Fonda Times.

Strawberry Point Mail Press;
The storm Wednesday night was ac-
companied by some of the most
terrific lightning and thunder ever
witnessed here. For few NOM
ents there were a good many frigh-
tened people in town as binding
flash succeeded fash followed by
terrible crashes of thunder. Brill
liant sparks of tightening flashed
along the telephone wires, that set
bells to ringing or made pistol like
reports. The climax came later
when bolt descended and struck
the steeple of the Baptist church,
tearing of large number of shingles
from the side. Many people plain
ly felt the shock of the electricity,
and Clarence Mace who was going
up the hotel steps was partly thrown
down. We have received no reports
of any further damage up to date.
