A terrible electric storm with an awful downpour of rain engaged the attention of the countryside hereabouts all Wednesday night.  John Ure of the town of Lynn and Hank Lenhart of Nasonville suffered the loss of big barns, farm machinery and other valuables.

Aug.

Among the Neillsville High School graduates this year are Rex Beeckler, Clark Brooks, Mariah Davis, Elsie Johnson, Shirley Knorr, Adelma Nickel, Elsie Neitzel and James Ure, eight well known and worthy young people, former students here and at Lynn, and of whom we are justly proud.  The commencement exercises were held there last evening.
