SHOWERS FOLLOW PRAYER.
Lexington Minister prays for Rain
and Showers Come.

Truly, the prayers of the right
eous availeth much. Conducting a
prayer meeting in the Lexington
Baptist Church Tuesday night the
Rev. w. L. Keel offered fervent
prayer for rain. Whether or not this
prayer has been answered it matters
not.
However, it is a significant fact
that rain has fallen in practically
every section of the county Wednes-
day afternoon. and the people gen
orally are rejoicing. This is the
first rain that has fallen in several
weeks, and the situate had grown
serious. Many of the wells have dr1-
cd up and it is a common occurrence
% see farmers hauling water for
their stock.
Much of the cotton is yet to come
up. and in some instances there is
some to be planted. While there is
nothin.y like season of showers OF
Wednesday afternoon are most re
freshing and it is hoped that more
will follow wednesday night and
