SHERMAN, Tex., July 28.—
More than three inches of rain fell
here last night, being general over
the comity. High winds accom-
panied the rain, the storm doing
minor damage to small buildings
over the city and country.
During the rainstorm a portion
of the plant of the Pittman-llar-
ri*on Company, a milling and
grain concern, was burned. It is
thought that the plant caught fire
from lightning. The low on the

A delegation nf local Masons
motored to Miles Saturday morn-
ing to meet the'flying squadron
of Masonic speakers who are tour-
ing Texas on a service and educa-
tion campaign. There were six or

egation stated that it was the
largest delegation to meet them
since starting on their tour of the

est distance to meet them, im-
pressing the visitors that they
were welcome to this city.

vice and the golden rule, and to

ject of the order was service, six

menced a tour of the state several
days ago, leaving Dallas in a
large automobile, and they are
traveling in the ear. Th*' speak-
ers addressed a pubic meeting at
