The Storm at Downing.

DOWNING, Mo, Aug. PA heavy
rain and wind storm did considerable
damage to growing crops Saturday
night. More rain fell than at any 9TH
er time this season, the rainfall being
estimated at from three to five inches.
The most damage was done to corn
and tobacco. Many large fields of
tobacco were damaged extensively by
the wind blowing the almost matured
plants down. Up to this time the
prospects have been bright for the
best crops for number of years and
today the farmers are feeling pretty
blue, but they arc unable as yet to
arrive at a correct estimate of the
damage done.

Oats-The market eased off in sym
