BKRcHwooD, W. va, Sept. l9.-Re-
freshing rains for several days have
greatly benefited fall pasture, and the
drinking water at many places in this
section The brooks and creeks nave
not had any running water in them for
many weeks, and many wells and
springs have gone dry; hence people
gladly welcomed the recent rains, and
especially the farmer boy, who no doubt
thinks of the old motto-''more rain
more rest"
