Over Inch of Rain
Falls Past Weekend

Garrett countys almost ideal fall
weather came to an abrupt end over
the weekend with a rainfall of 1.27
inches over a three-day period and
drop in the temperature to as low
as 25 dgrees.
An inch of rain fell on Sunday, with
. on Saturday and OF on Monday.
This gave some rise to streams and
put an end at least temporarily to
the threatened drought. Previous to
Sundays rain, water had disappeared
from some farms of the county.
The low reading of the week was
on Wednesday morning when the
thermometer stood at 25 at the Weber
government station. The temperature
this morning was 35.
Several times during October the
temperature reached 81 degrees,
Ralph Weber said
