The effects of its little bullets are said to be terrible.

One Of the finest rains of the season
fell here on Monday night. Commenc-

continued almost Without intermission
until nearly 6 o'clock in the morning,
benefitting the country beyond calcula-
ton. 1t was highly appreciated by the
masses, while in the case Of A. j.. Mills,
decorator in chief for the 4th Of July
celebration, it was exceedingly annoying
damaging as it did to a considerable ex-
tent, the decoratations which he had
SO artistically arranged. Paul Kleemann
would also have been better pleased if
the rain bad came two days later, as the
beautiful external decorations upon his
hotel did not show up with such vivid
colors after the wet and trying ordeal
through which they had passed. The
rain at this time was most opportune,
coming as it did when the oat and wheat
crop were commencing to head, it
affords ample assurance Of a bountiful
yield, which cannot be otherwise than A
very important factor in the advance
ment Of the general prosperity of the
region. Everything at present indicates
a prosperous year for the farmer in this
immediate section.
