One of the strongest gales of the winter blew from the east here Monday morning, blowing the roof off the wheel rigs' factory and doing heavy damages. Ssme of the workmen were injured in the flying debris. This is the second time this factory has suffered from a similar gale; the building being largely composed of windows was not strong enough to stand a heavy gale. The damage to machinery and stock will be considerable. The gale was so strong it took signs in the busixiess portion of the town from their moorings and many narrow escapes occurred on the streets.. JAMESTOWN. There was no travel on the gravel road between Jamestown and Brussels on Thursday of last week. It was the worst storm of the winter. R. McKay's little son is quite ill with pneumonia at present. Mrs. McKay and baby are at her mother's in Brussels. James Richardson of Manor, Sask., who has been visiting his parents for some time, returns to the West on Monday. Jim is delighted with the West. He intends going to Sedly, near Regina, this time. Our old freind, James Turnbull is not in very vigorous health at present. He is suffering from muscular rheumatism, the effect of a fall from a load of grain. We hope to see an improvement in the Spring. Dunelda McDonald has recovered from the attack of pneumonia. The Brussels stage managed to reach Jamestown and Wroxeter last Friday. A number of men are working in the swamp known as the Fralick swamp at present cutting wood anal hauling logs to Brussels. The two little McLeod girls who live with their uncle, Chas. Forest, • are ill with an attack of scarlatina. sionnts. • Mr. W. Jackson has disposed of his one hundred acre farm in Morris, to his nephew, Menno Jackson, for which he received $5,000. This is a first-class farm and Menno got a bargain. Township Council will meet next Monday. It was found necessary on Tuesday of last week to remove the great toe on the left foot of Joseph Smith, the oldest settler on the 6th line and a pioneer of rthe township, he having come here over 50 years ago. Mr. Smith is 82 years of age, but has been wonderfully active and bright for his age, and many relatives and• friends hope he may speedily be restored to his usual good health. Jno. G. Smith, of Deloraine, Man., is here to visit his father, who is not very well, and will remain for a few weeks. He left on Saturday of last week but was delayed by an accident on the railway. It is 23 years since Mr. Smith went to the West and we are glad to state he has prospered there although last harvest was hardly up to concert pitch owing to the pre- vailing wet weather. Next summer a railway will run close to Mr. Smith's farm and a siding for loading grain will be located within a half mile it is ex- pected. GREY.
