In drouth seasons when the rain
comes it is usually local. A good
shower will visit a community and a
short distance away there is no rain
at all. Many instances have been
noted the past month. The heaviest
rain lronton had had in two months
came Sunday. AT Pilot Knob there
was scarcely enough to lay the dust.
In the list OF casualties reported
from France in Mondays st. Louis
papers under the head, "killed in &C.
tlon," appears the name civilian
Henry, .Vickery, Hogan, Montana"
AS there is a young la of that name
from Hogan in this county in France
it is much feared he is the party re-
ferred to.
