ing to man and Vegetation alive after
the warm "yaIler' weather and dry
winds of the last two weeks. Moth
ing was really suffering for rain ex-
ceptcorn ON thin land, and as we

prospect for getting out their crops

eyes, and they feel SO thankful that
there wont be a hanging, as was first
contemplated.
