ing early in the week and didn't stop any
longer than to get fresh start until sunday
afternoon, when regular porther came

one. This boreal or polar wave blew all
Monday and Is blooming to-day From shirt
sleeves citizens have passed to thick coats
and at night are driven from verandahs under
cover.
II the weather fairs up, as the norther 10
guarantee almost II wilt the crops will not be
hurt by the excessive rain. That is cotton
will not. Corn has been made end out Ct the
range ofmshsps II was feared that the bot

ported either In our own or any other county
In Texas. The bolls arc rapidly maturing
and picking will commence in week or two
In good earnest. Business, however, has been
set back for at least one week. for il will be
