RESULT OF STORM

We have heard a great deal about
the damage the hail storm did on
Sunday morning. But the most
damage in this community was at the
farm home of Chauncey Scott west
of town. He lost about 500 chickens
and every horse and mule on the
place were so beaten by the hail
that they ran into the fences and
we're badly cut by the fence wires.
His. corn was also blown down. At
farm just north of town the hail
was so heavy that one family enjoyed
freezer of ice cream.
