THAT shirt waist tad among the men

The rains have been bad enough for
Us farmers" remarked truck farmer
who was selling vegetables from hi
wagon In Market square yesterday after
noon. But out my way beyond Sal
Felipe. the county road has added to oul
troubles by interfering with the dram

have been almost totally ruined by III,

I THE report that the rlins we have hat
will injure 20 great extent the oyster
, crop and the oyster trade this fan be.
;. lieve is Incorrect" observed a prominent
local dealer to q reporter. "The oyster
beds affected at all are those in Galvest u
s bay and ! suspect that even there onl,
on the reefs near the river mouths have
the oysters been killed by the unusua
smouut OF fresh water. Something of ths
kind happened In the bay in 1888 but We
o managed to get enough oysters from the
| eastern part OF the bay to supply tn
market. OF course. the market at thai
time was not nearly so large as Il Is now
nut then wn did NOT have any othhr ,ourr.
