THE WELCOME RAIN
OF MONDAY NIGHT

The strong south wind which pre-
vailed in distressing degree here
all through Sunday and Monday led
the more optimistic Of our &egple to
believe that We would get Jain on
the wind up and we did.
During Monday afternoon heavy
cloud came over the Hermleigh
country and a good rain fell over
large scope OF the east part OF the
country
Thretening clouds continued to
float about and al nightfall a prom
ising cloud gathered up toward the
west About Q p. m. the gentle
sprinkIcs commenced and grew into
a good downpour here lasting about
an hour
Allen Weaycr's rain gauge showed
a precipitation Of 73-1OOths Of an
inch. The ground was pretty well
saturated and crops. gardens, grass
and everything else OF the vegetable
kind was greatly benefltter.
The rain az Fluvanna was about
the same as at Snyder. but IL is said
TO have been light in Kent and Gar
"a counties. There was good down
pour in Borden county. elso as far
east as Fisher and Nolan counties.
Wheat and oats had begun to need
rain and feed stuff that was Just
coming up will now hump itself
Many farmsr ere waiting for rain
and warmer weather to finish plant
ing and they will now get busy. This
rain gives us a new feeling Of as
surance that Scurry county is going
10 make GOOD this year in the way

the Christian Church last Friday

for the impersonation OF IS separate
characters and these were all pre-
sented I'm characteristic tone, die
tion and dialect II requires n fin

its fullest measure.
She is n reader of marked talent

on her teacher and our educational
and social institutions.

Hutcheson gracefully presented he
a diploma of merit, showing that
she has completed the course.
