DEVOTED COUNTY AND The
Good Crops Assured

The recent rain which came down for
over twenty four hours has given new
life to all things, the grain crops around
Elbert and especially the spring wheat
is looking fine. Some OF the fall grain
was slightly damaged by the drouth. Yss
the farmers have much to feel thapkful
for. When we consider the stories told
US by travelling men who claim that n
bert and vicinity is the only green spot
between Chyenne and New Mexico, :. In
fact an oasis in the desert" This is true
for the great drouth OF the past month
has done great damage in the dry farm
ing sections Of the state. North OF us
and south Of us cattle are being shipped
out for the want of feed, but Eibert Co.
will have a great quantity Of natures
goods.
