WIND STORM DOES CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE A storm of cyclonic nature during Wednesday night last caused con­ siderable damage to farm, buildings, houses, orchards and .windmills on the Thames Road and Concessions 8 and 9, of Usborne. Mr. Jas. Cot­ tle’s barn was unroofed; a new and modern henhouse was taken, off its cement foundation and wrecked, the windmill was blown down and win­ dows were blown in on the west side of the house and barn. Mr. Cottle suffered perhaps the most damage of anyone in the district. Mr. John Bray had the roof blown from a shed, the windmill wrecked and some siding blown off the barn. Mr. A. Campbell’s barn suffered somewhat and trees in the orchard uprooted. Others who suffered da­ mage to their buildings, windmills or orchards were James Hodgert, R. Cowlrd, Wm. Ferguson. South of Elimville, Mr. Everett Skinner lost a portion of the roof of his barn and John Brock suffered damages to a shed. The wind whistled and howl­ ed through the greater part of the night but the worst was about night. SANTA CLAUS FUND A numbe/ of donations have received during the week to the ta Claus’ Fund sponsored by the Ex­ eter Chamber of Commerce. There are few needy families itt Exeter and where there are the citizens have been quick to render the assistance needed. At the same time there are many Cases where a little Christ­ mas cheer will help to bring a little ray1 of sunshine at this glad holiday time. It wo’uld be a shame if any boy or girl were forgotten and should wake Christmas morning to find an empty stocking. Such was the case in one horns last Christmas and only the bright wit and gener­ osity of one of our milkmen saved the situation. On being -told that Santa had not called- at their home the milkman told the children that Santa had left some parcels at his home in a mistake and it must hhve been meant for them, ‘He secured some presents to make the young hearts happy. An organized effort will be made to see that no one is ov­ erlooked. The attiount acknowled­ ged last week was then the following been received: Wm. J. Beer $1.00; J. S. O. Southcott $1.00; $1.00j Women’s institute $5.00.
