The all night rain which fell so gently,
but %copiously on Wednesday night in
this place, was the browning providential
blessing Of the season. Commencing at
3 o'clock in the evening, the rain fell
continuously without intermission
through the night, thoroughly soaking
the ground, thus assuring an abundant
potato crop, a much larger grain yield
and more productive gardens than was
previously expected. Without further
favors in this direction, the farmers in
this vicinity will, it is believed, have no
reason to complain of crop failure.

Frank P. Williams, of Hill City came
in Monday to close up the papers in the
Empire Mining deal. The CHRONICLE
learns that Mr.. Williams has perman-
emily retired from newspaper work and
returned to his old love, the law. Like
a number Of our prominent Black Hills
attorneys, he was a lawyer long before,
he welded a facile and forcibls fabsr as
o Dakota journalist, and the powers of
advocacy which have found illustration
upon the stump and platform, as well
as ia the columns of the Rapid City Re-
publican, will doubtless prove of special
value to his clients. If honesty, con.
stancy to a cause, ability and %eloquence
of a high order. and a genial personality
avail at the bar. Frank Williams should
have a very high degree Of success.
The CHRONICLE bespeaks it for him, and
is betting that he will.

Wednesday evening at the home of Mr..

experienced for some time. The gentle,
but nevertheless penetrating rain, rend-
cred the beautiful lawn utterly useless
for the purpose in view, and the elegant
parlors Of Mr.. and Mrs. Y. were neces-
sarily substituted, which admirably
served the purpose. While the falling
rain kept many away, it did not inter

the lawn attachment. The ice cream
