RAIN.

Rain is a wonderful thing
and we can't get along with
out 1t very we'll Lots Of
people depend upon the rain to
have the water for general use, as
they have no wells and have cisterns.
and if 1t is dry season their cisterns
are apt to go dry. We have well,
and you can pump 1t dry and 1t will
run right in again, and is so cold. We
had too much rain this spring.
The rain makes things grow
grow. The corn, oats and hay need
the rain, and if we don't get it in the
right time, then the farmers don't
have very good crops. The peaches
watermelons and grapes need the rain.
If they don't get it the trees dry up
and the leaves fall off and the veins
dry up and the fruit isn't so large.

EVENT, A SAD ONE.

The most important event Of this
week was the death of Rev. G. S. Nc
Ehenny. His death was sudden. He
had preached a marriage ceremony
and when he stopped at the boarding
house he complained of being i'll. The
next day he said he was worse than
the day before. The doctor was call
ed and did all in his power to save
him, but in vain. His wife and family
we're having vacation at the time of
his death. He was beloved by every
body. This is the most important, but
the saddest, event of the week.

THE MOST IMPORTANT EVENT OF
THE WEEK.

The most important event of this
week think was when it rained
Thursday. 1t clouded up all of a sud-
den and the wind blew. Then it COM
menced to rain. 1t rained very hard.
After while it ceased raining and
went down to the library.
Pretty soon the sun shone and then
it cleared off little.
About midnight it commenced rain,
ing again.
1t is 1920 o'clock now Friday morn
ing. The sun is shining brightly. We
have a new roof on our house so we
cannot let the water into the we'll till
about next spring. We have two bar.

then we can save the cistern water
