to the depth Of AN inch and have had none
since except that Of Saturday night. Vegetation
Of all kinds Is suffering. Much Of our corn the
knslls aud hilsides IL badly "hTed" aud the yield
consequently will be light.
II used to be expected that the opening 81 the
camp meeting season would bring abundance "f
rain but il has faiis Of elect this year. Whether
the new system Of conducting these gatherings
has had nm effect an the weather or not IL per-
haps question on which opinions might differ.
hut IL IL very certain that IL the weather has not
been affected. the camps have. and that rather I'M
favorably. In more than one instance. Improve.
ment and prayers are always desirable but IL IL
possible that they may take a wrong direction.
Looking from the hill tops in this vicinity a
number Of new buildings are visible and others
in course of erection. Conspicuous among them

Although the hay crop light With this
year the cr"l' uf Wild carrots promises well. They
