county has been favored With more rain
than any other county in the state If
the reports of those who travel are to
be relied upon. The farmers of this
county have for the past month been
trying to get their crops into the
ground, but have beer unable to do
much on account Of the heavy rains. a
large majority of the farmers of the
county have not yet completed blowing
for corn and many have abandoned the
oat crop entirely because of the late
ness of the season when oats could be
placed in the ground. Travellers, real
estate men and agents who have occa-
sion to travel thru the country say that
this county has had an abnormals
amount of rain. In parts of Grumpy
county the roads are dusty today, while
in this county the roads are muddy.
Near Parkersburg the roads are dusty
enough to be inconvenient for travel.
Why this local rainfall should be heav-
ier than in the neighboring counties is a
matter that excites the curiosity ana
of the weather prophets.

The name of the girl is Mollie ARSON.

found refuge at the home of her aunt
on North Second street. She told her
aunt that VanDerschurr told his son,
