~\ %hnmict Vol.44 No.48 Flesherton, Ontario, April , 30 1924 W. H. Thurston & Son, Proprietors CEYLON Mr. and rMs. Percy Hunt received a telegram the past week from McGee Sask.,, where they have their farm rented this year, that their barn, two graineries, all the feed and im- plements had been burned by prairie fire. This means a big loss to Mr. Hunt. Trouble never comes single handed. Saturday, while assisting Mr. Arrowsmith at timber, the axe, which he was using, glanced across the foot, .cutting the big toe severely to the bone. The doctor had to dress the wound with seven stitches. This will lay Mr. Hunt up for a time. Much sympathy is expressed for them in their trouble.
