the establishment of new homes. Already we have contracted with
GbSSb) scores of young couples to equip their new quarters. And last year we
were obliged to build a new addition to our building in which to store furniture
purchased months ahead by thrifty couples who were preparing their future
homes. It's a good plan to have the furnishing problem over with well ahead
of time.
An expert salesman is at the service of prospective bribes and grooms to
aid them in the selection. A splendid assortment of the best and good medium
grades of furniture, carpets and rugs are here, covering four large floors.
Our modest expense on this side of the river, and yet within a five

here where furniture values are the greatest for the least money.

in its path. In many parts of the
town large fruit trees were laid to the
ground, a huge glass in the Cassel
building was broken and at the store
of B. & C. S. Spangler there was also
a large glass broken. Many roofs
were stripped of shingles and the tele
phone and electric car service was out
for a time. The rain, which fell in
torrents, washed the streets and alleys
very badly and vivid peals of thunder
and lightning accompanied it. Some
hail fell also.

were blown down, the tent of Mr.
Ormsby destroyed and other damage
done.

wreck. Trees and shrubbery are prac

their moorings and carried down the
stream. Evans' run overflowed its
banks and Chickles creek was also up

ducts a dairy and was just about ready
to bring the cows into the barn when
the fire started. The entire contents,
farming machinery, plows, prrain drills,

ing small buildings caught fire and
were destroyed. The cattle, which
were in the fields and barnyards, were
saved, and horses in the barn were
gotten out with difficulty. A pig
roasted and another was so badly
burned that it was killed to end its
sufferings.

over the toe and make it raw and tape
that sticks to the stocking—now try
"GETS-IT." It has none of the draw

pain and never fails on any corn or
