Band, of Stratford at EXETER On SUNDAY, JUNE 18th at 8*30 p.m. Splendid Program - Silver Collection Since the severe storm which passed over this community on Wed­ nesday of last week farmers and others have been busily engaged‘in clearing away the wreckage. A num­ ber of the farmers are planning to build immediately. The report of the Times-Advocate last week only par­ tially described the losses as it was impossible in the short time to cov­ er the entire territory. We find that everywhere reports, are constantl" coming in of others who suffered more or less from the storm. One erroneous repore made last week was that half of the roof or the barn on the farm of Mr. Wm Oke was blown off. This should have read Wm. Colwill’s barn south of Mr. Oke’s. It- was also stated that Mr. Fred Kerr had a burning kiln blown over. Mr. Kerr had one of the sheds which covered a kiln bad­ ly wrecked. The Kirkton United church was not damaged from the storm but the old stone church near Kirkton was demolished. On the fourth and fifth concess­ ion of Stephen Mr. George Hirtzel had half the roof blown from one barn and the barn was shifted about six inches on the brick wdll, the wall being cracked. Mr. John Triebner on the 3rd con. of Hay had a straw shed blown down; a pig and some hens were killed. ’ Mr. Thos. Fisher, 3rd concession of Usborne, had part of the roof of his barn, part of the roof of the drive shed and part of the roof of the house, blown off. About 20 trees in his orchard were blown down. , . Mr. Hedley May lost two cattle which fallen trees Hunter lost lightning. The orchard cliffe in Usbbrne was an awful mess of twisted and fallen trees. He 'lost about fifty out of sixty trees. On the 10th con. of Usborne Mr Nelson Clarke had shingles ripped off one side of his yarn and drive­ shed. Walker Kerslake had a strip of shingles taken off as did also Ross Hern and W. J. rsrock. Alan Jacques had half of a barn roof and side of the building blown off. On the town line Stephen and Mc­ Gillivray in addition to the barn of Thos, Ryan, Jas, Gardiner lost a barn and a hu£e metal barn belong­ ing to John Bullick had an end torn out of it. On the 10th con. of Biddulph Tp. the storm almost completely demol­ ished two barns of Robert Langford and the barns of William and James Dewan of the same Tp. ' On the 10th con. of Blanshard near Whalen, the, storm Started in at the farm of Freeman Arksey and lifted a number of shingles from one side of the barn and levelled about two acres of bush. James Shipley lost the' roof off his barm Harvey Squire had a large barn 36 x 72 ft I levelled to the ground, iron from | the roof qf this barn was found as ■ far as one and a half miles away The barn hd been fixed up about two Now ShS’s Free From Them A woman writes:—“I would like everyone who suffers from head­ aches to try Kruschen Salts. Before taking Kruschen I was hardly every free from a headache. But since I have been taking it regularly I have hardly had a headache, for which I am very thankful, for headaches can make one fetl quite ill. I have been taking that small dose of Kruschen every morning in a glass of warm water, before my breakfast, and I feel so well."—(Mrs.) A. E. D. Headaches can generally be traced to a disordered stomach and to the unsuspected retention in the system of stagnating waste material which poisons the blood, poisons — prevent again—and you’ll worry any more, how Kruschen Salts “bring swift ana lasting relief from headaches. Krus­ chen Salts aid Nature to cleanse your body completely of all clogging waste, matter. .Start on “tne little daily dose” of Kruschen to-morrow. Then you will very soon have done with headaches. Remove these them forming never have to And that is just ZION a hen house was deposited on Parkinson’s the Mr. years ago, The worst damage was on the farm of Ernest Foster and here the wind certainly left a trail of devas­ tation and disaster, The large bank bdrn was blown down as well as an implement shed and chicken house The two storey brick house was practically ruined, the rpof was blown off and the second storey of the house was blown over. Brick from the wall came down through the ceiling of the living room. The summer kitchen was also blown over Mrs. Foster and little babe were alone in the house at the time and with bricks falling all aeout her es­ caped with the child into the or­ chard. The rain was falling in tor­ rents and debris blowing ail about her. It was a terrible experience. Farther south on the same concess­ ion a barn belonging to Mr. Foster and Ralph Parkinson was flattened. The roof fell on a young cattle beast and it was killed. 2(5 trees were blown down on the farm. At Mr. George Parkinson’s an L- shaped barn was completely demol­ ished. The windmill was blown over and about 50 trees, 25 of them apple trees were blown down or uprooted The steel roof of lifted clear and ground. At Mr. Frank George Parkinson was passing at the time with a horse and buggy. He put his horse into the barn and was in a stall beside one of the other hor­ ses when the barn was blown over. The horse beside him was killed. Mr. Parkinson had his back injured and will be confined bo his home for a few weeks. Three other horses in the barn at the time escaped un­ hurt. Mr. Thos. Gunning’s large barn, 34 x 70 feet on stone and cement foundation was wrecked. Mr. Gun­ ning had put a team of horses in the barn when the storm came up and had gone to the house. With a ter­ rible roar the storm struck the place and the barn went over. The team of horses was buried beneath the largest timbers, the timbers being between three and four feet from the ground. After clearing away part of the debris ropes were at­ tached to the animals and they were assisted from their perilous position and were unhurt. Tne garage and implement .shed were completely wrecked and a comparatively nqw sedahe car which was in the garage escaped with hardly a scratch. A patch of shingles was torn from the roof of the house ana the water came down on the inside and dam­ aged the interior. William Nairn on the 3rd con. ot ■Blanshard lost a fine big barn and one of the barns at Motherwell on W. E. Nairn’s farm was bl-own down Wm. Rogers’ barn at Motherwell was destroyed. Trueman Tufts’ barn- near Kirkton was destroyed. Roy Nethercott’s windmill was blown ov­ er. William Arthur and James Step­ in hens’ barns were also damaged.
