J. F. Payne was in from Barkley township this morning to have his family physician extract a splinter from the palm of his right hand. He says that considerable lightning accompanied the daily rain Sunday, but small damage resulted so far as he had learned. Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Hammond and children and Miss Nellie Reisch and Mr. and Mrs. G. L. Thornton and Mr. and Mrs. George W. Scott and daughter, Genene, had a delightful auto trip into Newton county Sunday. They went to Mt. Ayr and Morocco, thence via Ade to Brook and past George Ade’s Brookside farm. Then to Warren T. McCray’s Orchard. Lake stock farm. Mr. McCray was at the farm and showed the visitors over it. They saw his famous Hereford bull which sired calves which he sold this year for $37,000. Also a bull imported from England and which was the prize winner in that country. They returned home by way of Kentland, Goodland and Remington. Except for some sections where the ground was low there had not been extensive damage to the corn crop, but the wheat, oats and hay had suffered extensively.
