This region Of country was VISITED
last Thursday night by splendid
rain which did an untold amount o.
good to the growing corn. Farmer,
have had splendid chance to secure
their small grain which they are
' now marketing in fine shape, ane
this rain will secure them goot
i average crop of corn. Growers ar.
8 scarce, and they ought to be.
Quite an important business change
. has been made in Gray since th,
| last epistle OF Moses. w. 7. Lance
lot and Frank P. Reese have bough
t out w. r. Johnson & Co, and viii
| hereafter conduct their business a
! the corner. The members of til,
: new firm are very popular, which
e reputation they will no doubt main
, tain. The retiring firm have by clos'
. attention to business built up larg,
, trade, and we believe they go out o
, business with the good will Of the
, the general public. OF their future
: location we know nothing,
