The past week will be especially re-
membered for two reasons. The first,
the two splendid rains, on Thursday of
last week and on Tuesday of this week.
The rain on the first day named was
accompanied by heavy hail storm of a
few moments duration. The rains
were of incalculable value to this
vicinity. The very best hot days we
passed through, especially on Monday.
1t was an unusually hot day for this
mountain region. Fortunately the
nights were cool. Through the day
coats and vests were laid aside.

propose to meet the propositions of the
mail order houses of the big cities. The
parcel post is right here. They are on
the ground, or like the big mail order
houses, they have factory connections
and ship direct from factory to consum-
er at factory prices. They mean bust
ness and are after business. Catalogues
on application. See samples at the
store. See 5 cent and 10 cent bargains
