One of the heaviest rains that
has fallen in this seetiion fell
here Sunday afternoon from
about 1 to 3 o’clock. The total
precipetion was about 21*2 in-
ches on an average. Some re-
port a alight increase over thia
amount, while very few* sec-
tions or communities estimate
a leas amount. Creeks were
flooded, tanka were filled and
the ground was thoroughly
soaked. There wee naturally
some land washed more or leas,
but the damage along this line
was not great. For a time trav-
el was checked on the high
ways, where the branches and
creeks were not bridged, while
a few places on neighborhood
roads became impassable for a
time, the fields received a thor-
ough season and already the
good results are being observed

small crop, while grain thri
