Nevada Transcript, October 9th.
The late rain was a great benefit to sum-
mer.f fallow as it moistened the earth just
enough to make it pulyerize splendidly.
The work of putting in this class OF grain
Is being actively prosecuted in this county,
and the area OF summer-faliow viii be ex-
ceptionallY large, as the condition of last
winters rains was such as to necessltate
the leaving over of much land for summer
fallow that would otherwise have been sown
last season. AS this method of farming
rarely fails of a crop there will in all prob
ability be much grain raised in Yolo next

average rainfall - Woodland Democrat
The sad news reached us on tuesday
last of the sudden death of Miss Flora
Hutchings, the eldest daughter of j. Nj.
Hutchings, in Yosemite Valley. She was
taken suddenly i'll and died on Monday
morning last. She was tine first white
child born in the valley, and was about Is
years of age. It is said she took violent
cold from getting wet. This painful sffiic-
tion will no doubt be the severest blow to
her aged father experienced by him in life;
for she was his pride and companion
whithersoever he might ramble in the wilds
or upon the cliffs Of the great valley, the
lovely spot where she was born, and where
she is now SO prematurely laid away In
quiet repose, beside the silvery waters
whose musical murmurs have so oft been
mingled with her CHEEKY song which are
now silent to the lovely Flora, whose lease
of life was SO full Of promise. Il Msriposa
