The drouth that prevailed
over this section for the past sixty
days was broken last Thursday
night with a RAIN that recorded "a
heavy precipitation and will be a
vast help to the growing crops,
more especially corn and cane,
though they still need consider
able more moisture. AS far as
the Irish potato and other truck
crops, the damage done cannot
be estimated. From what we
learn the yield will not be suffi-
Gent for our farmers to even get
back the value of the seed which
was put into the ground and
many are very much discouraged
as consequence.
