The rains which have recently fallen
have done abundance OF good to the
gardens in town and the crops in the

lounge around, as is their custom.

do not come soon, several more ar
! sure to follow in their wake"
1t matters not what the condition
: the country is in fnancially-whethe
+, the market is in hourishing state, 0
!. whether famine, naked starvation

yet true, that Of all the failures whic
occur in communities, it is rare thin
to hear OF an excursions failure. TIL
