Ed. Register:-During the past month
but little rain fell heroabouts; in fact
all that benefited US much fell during
the night of the Doth and on the follow
ing morning. During that time it
rained almost constantly-steadily,
but not hard. Consequently. after
those rains and during the warm
weather that prevailed most of the
time since then, wheat and rye have
grown we'll, and it is hoped that sufic-
lent snow will fall during the winter
to amply protect them. With the ex-
ception of one short 'scold sDap," the
weather has been throughout the past
month surprisingly mild 1t is earn
estly hoped that during all the ensuing
winter ''the Lord will temper the wind
to the shorn lamb"-mild weather
aiding the wintering of live stock on
the meager supply of feed nov in the
hands of most all of our farmers.

Much vexation has been caused by
the frequent delay in the arrival OF our
mail matter; though officially we are
credited with having a daily mail,
really we had no mail from Nov. 1st
to Nov. 7th. At other times the de-
lays have been shorter. All of them
are believed to be due to the mex
plicable change OF our mail matter be-
ing started from Arcadia. instead of
from lronton, as it was heretofore. AS
our mail still passes through %Ironton,
We are at a lose to account for the
change, but we hope something will
soon be done to ensure our receiving
the mail with a reasonable degree of
promptitude hereafter. r. E.
