The DroayLt--The excessive warm
and dry weather still continues. Al
though there haga been hne rains re-
Gently in different sections OF our coun-
ty, it has been about three weeks since
we haye had Q good soaking rain 10
this immediate locality. The corn and
potato crops which looked SO very prom
ising during the earlier part OF the sea-
son, are beginning to show the effects
Of the drought, and unless Fo soon get
rain, we fear the yield Will fall lar
short Of what was anticipated.
