Glare have about decided to cast their
lots with the POoleyille people for an
! other year, and take the school again.
On Thursday quite a storm struck
! Pooleylle. The school is on an ele-
vation and the few who had braved
the elements saw the panes twisted
from the windows and rain blown all
over the house They also saw great
! limbs of forest trees twisted from the
! trees, but all were calm and no one
was hurt
Around Pooleyille number OF
houses were blown down. one occu.
pied by Mr.. Admire and family being
completely demolished, and it seems
a miralce that no one was injured.
In Pooleville several trees were up
rooted and great damage done to
the roof of DR.. Hathaways home.
while the damage to the chicken
industry all over the country cannot
| be estimated, however, since all lives
were spared everyone is thankful.

who reside at ArdmOre, especially af-

lucky. SO many apply for rooms in

commodate all for this reason it is
the policy of the school to let the
girls draw for rooms in the Methodist
