BLESSED FALL OF RAIN
FIRST IN MONTGOMERY SINCE
 SEPTEMBER 9TH.
Slow Drizxle Continued Throughout Day and 10 Cessation fs Predfc-
 ted for Today-Generai - Over Alahama.

The rain which began to fall in Montgomery about 2:30 o'clock yes terday morning as a slow drizzle and increased to a steady. slow rain that still continues. broke one of the long, est and most severe droughts of which the Weather Bureau has a his- tory in its thirty-one years record at this place.
 Up to a. m. yesterday .05 of an inch of rain fell; by noon 1t had in- creased to .12; by seven o'clock last night the total rainfall was ,s5 ich.
 This Is the first rain in Montgomery since September 9th.
 The weather reports of yesterday show that this rain is caused by a storm moving along the middle Gulf Coast, and which will probably cause the rain to continue over this section. today.
 It is fortunate that the first rain, after such a severe drought is a light one. which will give the roofs a chance to swell. A heavy rain after such a dry spell. would doubtless have caused many leaky roofs.
 While the rainfall thus far Is not sufficient to make an impression on the streams 1t has moistened the earth, and is very grateful to the people living on dusty streets of cit- ies.
 Reports indicate that the rain was general throughout the State.
