| on the 18th than it did on Tuesday of last
week. Since then the days have been cooler,
while the nights have been quite warm.
| Some localities were favored with showers on
either the 18th, 18th, 10Th or 18th, while
| others have had no rain for several weeks. A
severe wind and rain storm occurred in the
northern section on the afternoon of the
18th, the wind doing some damage by blowing
down shade trees and injuring corn fields.
Numerous light showers passed over the
southern part on the 18th and 18th, the rain
