ELLEINDALE,

Once more a terrible catastrophe has
been avertedg badly scared family made
happy and a home made sacred. Last
Friday while the wind was whistling
merrily about the trees and all was
serene at the new and cosy home on the
Duffy Farm, the house roof was seen to
be ablaze, and Mr.. Duffy was absent on
few days business trip, but every one
got busy and went at the job with such
energy that the flames were soon sub
dued, with no lOther damage only what
was done to the roof The roof was re-
paired next day, before Mr.. Duffy ar
rived home and everything went along
as if nothing had ever happened.
On Saturday there was a great time at
the Old Ancestral Short Mansion, Just at
the edge of town, when one of the dear
est and most beloved souls, which all de-
light to call Auntie Short, gathered a
bout her many children, grand children |
and great grand children into a most |
happy old fashioned family reunion at
which time the family "reminiscences were
given and the songs that delighted the
dear ones that have gone far beyond
were sung as of yore, and everybody
was made happy. The usual loaded
table that pleased everybody was in or
der and put the final touch on the de-
lightful union. These gatherings are
annual and are looked forward to with :
great anticipation and pleasure. :
We had dandy old time down here ;
sunday evening, the rain poured down !,
II torrents and the wind howled, it =
eemed, harder than ever before, but we =
escaped the hurricane without any very =
erious results. The most distressing Q
eature is the many corn shocks that are ,,
lown down, which has damaged not :,
My the fodder but the corn. as well, in y
lany instances. The damage was great =,
r on account of the large lots of corn a.
nd fodder yet ungathered, owing to the n
lppy condition of the grain. " "
