August 19.

Cato and community received a nice rain Saturday night. The rain began falling about 5:3o and continued for several hours after dark. The first few dashes of rain caused hot steam to rise but was quickly cooled by a splendid downpour. You see when the first drops came they fell into hot scorching dust, and for little the earth almost boiled, bnt the heat was soon drenched out and we felt the joy of delightfully."- cool atmosphere. We had good rain and are very thankful, but we didn' t receive what farmers call good "sea- son." which means, we failed to get enough to so thoroughly wet the ground that no dry stratum of soil existed Prospects are good for another shower this afternoon.
