ATLANTA, March sO-Another week of fine
summer weather closed with the usual rain,
only it was heavier and longer than the former
ones Sunday and Monday we had thunder
storms and heavy rains, followed by colder
nights but pleasant summerish days.
With all our weeks of rain this winter we
have escaped the hard fate that has befallen
the unfortunate people Of many other por-
tions of the South. The waters have not en-
gulphed us or our homes, nor has the fearful
tornado swept over our dwellings with its de-
structive fury. Truly have we cause to be
thankful and to sympathize with the homeless
of other sections.
Reports from various portions of the coun-
try show that while one section is too wet an
other is too dry, and crops not washed away
are being burnt up with the drought. Good
authorities in such meters predict long sea-
son of dry weather this summer. Should their
predictions prove true, the crops of the South
ern States will indeed be short this year.
