coraIIa Too Realistic.

We are indebted to Bro. Coralla, the
PIT. Byron weather prophet, for break
in the hot spell the pres. wk. He pulled
a near-tornado Thurs. p. m. that sent
a few of our more tinid residents to
the Easements. The brother has made
good in his latest promises up to date,
but we'd all think just as much of him,
and more, if he would use his influence
TO have those roof-rippers sent by an
other route.
