TIE RAIN Friday night will prove Of
great ben fl. to the parched crops, although a
dozen times the quantity that fell would do no
harm.
We notice our neighbors Of the Ga
zene are having general cleaning out, in their
editorial and counting room. A very good
idea.
TIE THERMOMETER Yesterday after

intolerable
