1t was a glorious rain, After one
of the longest and most unprecedent-
ed droughts that has ever visited this
section of the country, a steady rain
began to fall Saturday morning and
continued until early Sunday morn

from the dry weather. 1t refreshed
the pastures and cooled the torrid at
mosphere which accompanied the
drought. 1t was the kind of rain
that is absorbed by the ground, re-
plenishing the sub-currents that feed
many wells.
