A severe windstorm struck Glenboro Friday night damaging fields roofs and fences while leaving little property untouched. Residents faced cleanup dust and worry as farm and town edges suffered. town events continued with notices of meetings auctions and community activities including a big drive and a school picnic with proceeds for charity.
The first annual plowing match of Glenboro Agricultural Society drew town interest as four entries per event impressed onlookers. Gang plow winners were Thomas Carroll of Stockton, George Carnegie of Cypress River, Joseph H. Budd, and John Witherspoon. Walking plow winners were J Malcolm of Cypress River, R Rutherford of Stockton, T Cole of Cypress River, and Thomas Jewsbury. The event, on the Atkinson farm west of town, benefited from ideal weather aside from dust. Red Cross ladies offered refreshments.
