OLD SUMMER
THIS EVENING

This evening at 6.36 o'clock, the
summer season will be officially ush-
cred in. The present month, June
has been a month Of slight rain fall.
far less than last month and much
less than is needed for the good
crops through the county.
What rainfall has been recorded
has been distributed over wide
period of time, the greatest down
pour being on Friday evening, when
a heavy thunder shower passed
over the county and over two
inches Of water fell. Without a doub
the rain on Friday evening was Q
great help to the crops, although
much more could be used to adyan-
tage. At least another inch Of rain
is needed badly.
Prospects for rain at the present
time are not very good and in all
probability the month of June vii
pass without much addition to the
present rainfall. Spring, at least, is
expected to leave us without furn-
ishing any more moisture.

an Ministers.

The return of Rev Arthur T.
Cone. a Pentecostal minister, who
left Midlothian, Md, about one year
ago, was not appreciated by David
Chapman, brother-in-law of Miss
Pearl Skidmore and resulted in
the clergyman receiving an old fash
toned mauling, when he came to
make an appeal for Miss Skidmore
To take up evangelistic work, as a
coworker with him in a campaign
that Is being staged in West Vir-
ginia.
Miss SlSidmore, who Is an ardent
worker in the PentecOstal Church
and has for some time been asso-
ciated with Rev A. i. Cox, a preach
er of the Pentecostal faith. at Day
ton. Ohio, returned home about two
weeks ago for the funeral of her
sister, Mrs Robert Layman. She
has been annoyed. 1t is alleged, at
various intervals during the past
two years by the pleading or Rev.
Cope to come as a co-worker with
him and his wife. This was resent
ed by members of the Skidmore
family and resulted in the free-fer'
all fight Friday morning in front OF
Wllett's store at Midlothian when
the pastor was about to make anoth-
err appeal to the young lady 10 fee.
He was badly beaten and was told
not to frequent the place again and
that If he did he would be doing SO
at like DANGER. He has not been
seen since.
