RAINS, IN SECTIONS.

A light rain that fell during Weines-
day afternoon proved of much benefit
to the growing crops of the county.
1t was nothing like season, but was
very helpful especially TO- corn that
had commenced to twist because of
the oppressive heat and the drouth.
There was some wind in places but
not enough to do any material dam
age. The county, however, it still
without that general rain that HAS
been so much hoped for. Not in two
months has there been general, thor
oushly soaking rain in the county. the
longest drouth for the season of the
year ever known. Except for show
ers that have not evenly or equit-
ably distributed their favors there
would have been no rain at all during
June or the greater part of May. There
are still sections of the county that
have been denied even refreshing
showers.

MRS. ]. B. I0ML|hsON
WELL KNOWN WOMAN AND CON-
sEcRATED CHRISTIAN EXPIRES
SUDDENLY AT cuLEokA.

Mrs. Ella Wilkes Tomlinson. wife
of Joseph B. Tomlinson, died sudden
ly at her home at Culleoka this morn,
ing at lis o'clock. She passed out
almost without warning. Probably
less than twenty minutes before the
end she was asleep and expired without
pain and suffering. An unusually sad
feature of the death was that her de-
voted daughter, Miss Brownie, has
been seriously sick for the past week
and although still confined to her bed,
is little better
Mrs. Tomlinson was sixty-eight
years of age on January IA last and
had lived all her life near Culleoka.
She was daughter Of the late w. l..
and Jane Wilkes and was married for.
ty.nine years ago to Joseph B. Tom
linson, who survives her, as do her
three children, Mrs. Jonas E. Thomas,
C. L. Tomlinson and Miss Brownie
Tomlinson. She is also survived by
two, brothers, Capt. John Wilkes and
w. L. Wilkes, of Culleoka, and one
sister, Mrs. Henrs King, of Lewis
burg.
Mrs. Tomlinson had been in poor
health for about ten years and confin-
ed most of her time to her home, but
prior to that period she had been an
unusually active woman and was
known for her devotion to those in
trouble or afffiction. Early in life she
joined the Methodist church and lived
a devoted and loyal member of it, and
was thoroughly consecrated Chris.
.tian. She was a woman OF education
and culture and had an unusually wide
circle of friends to whom the news Of
her death was received with profound
sorrow. She was intensely devoted to
the members of her family by when
she was almost idolized.
The funeral services will be held to-
morrow morning at the Methodist
church at Culleoka at 10 o'clock and
will be conducted by Rev. w. o. Lar
gen, the pastor. The interment will
be at the old Wilkes cemetery near

manager of the Grand Theatre, is now

of starting a poultry ranch there. He
was not long In doing SO, purchasing

in getting the greater part of them

only about 800 The chicks were rails

Jackson says the only mistake he
made was in not buying more of the
chicks, as he could have cared for a
few more thousand just as easily as
he has taken care of these.
Not only has Mr.. Jackson erected
several most modern poultry houses
on the place, but he is building
for himself a most beautiful
home, with all modern cOnven-
fences, which when completed
will be occupied by Nh. Jackson and
