The storm came in by way OF

of the storm force was about
three blocks, but it reached out
and did destruction to many
trees and fences.

Presbyterian church both suf-
fered damage, but the Episcopal
church received the most; the
plastering was broken off and
doors hard to open. Easter ser.

The full estimate of the loss
by the storm in the business and
