Last Sabbath we attended the Free Methodist quarterly meeting at the Nestlerode school heuse. The pre- siding elder Rev Higgins preached with power in the forenoon. We always attend their quarterly meet- ings, they always have the John Wesley love feast, the kind that all the ME churches held fifty years ago, when the young ladies wore their neat sun bonnets, had rosy cheeks, and were a power in the church and a good influence went out among the worldly. But how changed are the facesand dress now; the roses are on top of the hats, face white with —— and you can hardly hear what they say across the room. Uncle Israel Nestlerode gave usa grand talk. Heisin his 84th year and quite feeble; he says he is ready to go at any time. It makes us think of our boyhood days to hear the father and mother talk in love feast meeting. Inthe evening Miss Dora Gant of Schell City, preached a pow- erful sermon to a large audience. Would that more of our young folks were in the goed work instead of scooting round in buggies spending their time in foolish talk.

George Crews says his, corn is do-| ing nicely, all plowed over and in} good trim. We notice that “Gabe” in Rich Hill Review, speaks of the large amount of white blossom weeds in the meadows. We agree with him, and also notice mere white clover. That is a good sign for a honey har- vest. Luther Crews will soon commence working the roads.

He took them to the cellar, and the Hassel house was blown away in an instant He had to hold a little boy by the lege, as the suction of the air was drawing him up. John Malloy, after having been in the cellar of his house for about five minutes, concluded it was only a waterspout, and the family went up. stairs again. Justat that moment the funnel-shaped cloud struck the house, utterly demolishing it. John Malloy was found under a pile of timbers, death having come instant- ly. A few feet away was his wife, who had been killed by flying tim. bers. The girl and the beys were lying about, some groaning and others insensible. The Berhard house was demolish- ed, but the family was in the cellar and came out unhurt. The same was true of the Burger home. After striking here the cloud seemed to rise and disappear. A freight traim was moving along to- ward Salix, when the eenductor, J. N. Pollock, saw the cloud. He had his train stopped at once, and it was untouched. He then ran the train to the town of Salix and side-tracked it. Then he uncoupled his way ear, and, taking the engine, carried the dead and injured to Sieux City.
