HAIL STORM DOES DAMAGE

The hail storm which ragged here this morning about two o'clock is re- ported to have done considerable dam age to crops and gardens in and a. round Prescott. The rain began fall ing in torrents which was soon follow ed by large hail stones which lasted for about thirty minutes. The fierce ness of the downpour was increased by strong wind.
 We received only meager reports but news received was told by peo- pie who came to town this morning from devastated sections. A large barn belonging to T. G. Moody about three miles from town was blown for about hundred yards and completely demolished The cotton and other crops belonging to Pink Honea, Wm. Dowdle and Tracy Cummins who live five miles West of here, were destroy ed by the hail, which beat the young cotton into the ground and moved other stuff down leaving nothing standing.

"The Law of
 the North"

Lovers of romantic, exciting stor- ies, stories of red blood and the great out-of doors, will be fascinated with the Kleine-Edison production, "The Law of the North" which is to be the feature attraction at the Gem Theater next Friday. And yet, un- like so many photoplays of the "ex- citing" variety, this splendid story is entirely logical and natural in it's de- velopment. Leading film critics have described it as a vivid, realistic tale of the great Canadian Northwest, a transcript of life as it was actually liven only few years ago in the Land of Shows.
 Corporal Emerson, of the Canadian Northwest Mounted Police, and An nesley, a renegade younger son of a noble English family, are rivals for the hand of pretty Edith Graham, played by dainty Shirley Mason, "Filmdom's biggest little star" An nesley, unscrupulously, first betrays
