this district welcomed a rain.as
they did on Friday night and

heavy, the gardens were greatly
benefitted, as the three weeks of
hot, dry weather accompanied by
more or less wind, -had pretty
well dried out the first few inches
of surface soil, Since the rain,
all the crops in the fields and
gardens, the small fruits and
apples, and the flowers have been
making great headway.
