years has been receiving treatment
at government hospitals for wounds

the government on his liability in

In full appreciation that a mass Of
tangled wreckage including a little
of everything scattered over the lots
where homes were wrecked by the
cyclone a year ago, the city business
men believe the time ripe to clean
up the property neglected by owners
after repeated requests. Certainly
such unsightly piles of splintered
lumber, bricks, tree, parts of furni-
ture and household goods do not adj
vertise the city to it's guests of visi-
tors neither is it attractive to us here
at home. It should be cared before
the fall fair when 10000 people will
visit our town, and tell 100000 more
of their impression of Fergus.

the inscription on the famous Ken
sington runestones seems to point to
their possible identity as those of
the early Morse explorers.-Fergus
