prisOued in walls and dark roOInss un-
able TO look upon this scene OF lowell
ness in the light of this September
morn, But we have had this glory born
out of stormy little "spell," with
some rain, cold, clustering wind, and q

give him until Saturday eve to land

We have horrible suspicion that one

Mr.. m. B. Tomlinson was talking to
Mr.. Branch, one of our oldest amt most
worthy citizens, last Saturday, telling
him about rain being produced in Tex

B., does not Keep abreast of the times
nor IN sympathy with his age, and he
wasn't going to let Mr.. rOmlinson
run the blinu calf over him in any
such way" but when Mr.. John Bellan-
FAINT came up anu verified Mr.. romlin-
sons statement, tie old man concluded
that it must be so, and he was living in
All age of wonders. However, there is
one thing he would be pleased to know,
and that is, is artiticially produced rain
as net as rain that comes in the good
old way. Another thing. If the rain
department has q machine that will
produce a little dry weather, we want
two by return express.

reach of "them claws" to cheer Justify
at every female you dispatch.
Now, Richard, that t0GS a sure enough
snake, and we were wide awake and

eat up one or Two women.
