this county, last week, over section

westerly. with Shannoine village about
in the center.

where around for heavy rains, any
way, and last weeks performance
seems to have been the best effort it
ever made.
Shortly after noon a heavy, dark
cloud came up from the south and
gradually overspread the entire heav-
ems, and in this cloud there was a
small section so intensely black that
its boundaries were clearly distinguish
able against the dark background Of
the remainder of the sky, and this
black section moved along slowly till
It was directly above Shannoine, where
it manifestations for about twenty
minutes, gradually fading out to the
color of the rest of the clouds as 1t

earth below.
No one, so far as known, succeeded
in measuring the amount of rainfall

cloud was giving off its load Of water,

the ancient idea of the animosity between
the lion and the cock is the origin of the
placing of the -weathercock upon the stee-

and the idea was to terrify Satan by the
sight of his enemy on the highest point
of the sacred building. The dragon was
the symbol of the powers of darkness

unoknown luxury-it was by no means I'M

which grew on the stems of trees or on
the powders of rock in the neghborhood.

stills on the hillside. and had never paid

on Monday night iii spite of the threatening weather fair and appre- ciatiye crowd went out to Forest Lark tu sec "Camille" as presented Ey the Sp0bner Dramatic company. Ii is needless to say that all went away highly pleased with the play. This is one of the company's best offerings, and Miss Allie Spooner as Camille tiled the expectations of the crowd All the characters ac- quilted thPnsalfes with dramatic skill
 By request of their many friends the Spooner Dramatic company will present Camille" again on Thursday. and all should avail themselves of the opportunity of seeing this celebrated French drama played so admirably.
 All interesting feature of the pro gram was the speciality work of the Misses illie and Marsio Shrewsbury, V hich was greeted with round after ,opnd of applause.
 Tonight will be the Red Men bene- fit. and "rhc 0ctoroona will be pre- sented. This play deals with Indian life and is pathetic and sensational from start to finish. MT. Spooner very appropriately assumes the leading role as he has sent much of his life among the Indians and is acquainted with their songs and dances.
