Fine rains have been falling in
! and around Walhalla for the past
| few days, breaking a drought that
was beginning to be serious and
bringing the temperature down from
! the almost unbearable point to pleas
! ant summer weather. Sunday after
noon the first rain fell for some four
or five weeks. The shower came
about 6 o'clock and by o'clock the
mercury had dropped % degrees.
Since Sunday Walhalla has been hay
ing daily quick shower giving idea
growing conditions for maturin}
crops. Some sections nearby have
as yet not received the needed relief
OF the rain, Seneca still reporting
this morning no rain fall-only
slight sprinkle Tuesday evening not
enough to lay the dust. Generally
