He explained that he had no part in the action of the committee, being in St. Louis at the time. He also stated •hat he would not allow his name to I go before the people as a candidate in case he should be named by the Committee. He was followed by H.

Aht. It was the badly needed moisture to help out the straw berry crop, which was being cut down considerably by the dry weather, hut indicat mis now art that the newer beds will come out much stronger than first expected. Garden truck which was suffering as been great ly revived, and the farmers fortunate enouyh to have their corn planted are jubilant. While the rain was accom panied by some wind, and lightening, no damage has been reported for this section. It was the biggest rain fall for this section in some time, and seems to have been of a general na ture. Sunday and Monday were cool days, hut fortunately cloudy weather prevented a frost. It is always best to be dilatory in the exercise of malice. <’harity for yourself will hardly cover a multitude of sins.
