RA1N-CRops.

On Sunday last hard east wind blew
all day. In evening the heavens became
cloudy and about o clock p. m. heavy
thunder was heard. sleet began to fall
and at daylight the earth was covered
by about two inches of wet snow. Dur
ing the forenoon of Monday constant
rain and snow fell and the thirsty ground
received thorough soaking. Monday
night there was quite . frost but not
enough to hurt vegetation. This snow
and rain was general throughout the
county and has made our farmers jubi-
liant. The ground has been put in fine
condition. the few chintz bugs which
had begun to show their presence have
been drowned out and the growth of all
vegetation accelerated. There is no
longer any doubt of an abundant crop of
small grain in the county and the work
of planting corn. now just began. will be
pushed by our farmers right along.
Thomas county will do herself proud in
the way of crops this year all along the
line.

ping the buggy box to the ground and
throwing the young ladies out. The
horse took fright and dashed of south
with the front wheels of the buggy. and
turning corner at the residence of Mr..
John Bott, ran into the baby buggy Of
Mr.. Ike Crumly. Mrs. GRUMPY had the
moment before left the buggy containing
their infant son to so into Mrs. Bolts.
The wheels of the runaway struck the
baby buggy and threw the baby violent
ly out. cutting and bruising him severe
". DR.. C. II. Martin was Mt once sum-
mOned and attended to the babe but was
unable to say how badly it was hurt. The
little fellow suffered greatly during Tues
day night, but at this writing seems
much better and will probably recover
without serious results. The young Ia
dies IN the buggy fortunately escaped
without injury.
Later: The baby is reported as not in
Jured seriously, and the young parents
are to be congratulated on the narrow
escape.
