All records for rainfall with high
temperature at this time of year

November %, and fell internationally
for week the sun only being visible
about an hour during the whole time.
On Thursday it continued a steady
allday down pour with quite strong
northeast wind. The ground is
soaked through and through and

We notice by the Daily Dispatches
that the big American packers have
commenced operations in Argentine
and Australia as we'll as IN some of
the other South American countries,
and that one of the big packing firms
of this country landed one shipment
of beef this week in New York City,
of One Thousand Tons. This they
are enabled to do since the tariff has
been taken off, but the dear people
will soon find out that the packers
will not lessen the price of beef but
will surely put the western farmer
down on the price of his cattle foF-if
he doesn't come down they will ship
in that much more beef from South
American countries.

date relatives being present. Large
boquets of cut flowers were used to
decorate the parlor and dining rooms,
the red and white color scheme being
used. The impressive ring ceremony
was read by Rev. A. NJ. Perrill. Fol-
lowing the usual congratulations
