First Monday was duly ob-
served by the traders of horses
and other things assembling on
the square. There was some
really good stuff offered for sale
or trade, but very little of it
changed hands. The fine rains
of Sunday . had a tendency to
show a probable increase in the
feed crops and the price of stock
went up accordingly. Plenty of
feed usually makes high priced
horses, as plenty of money makes
prices of all supplies higher. A
good horse is one of the best
friends of man, notwithstanding
the recent advent of many auto-

Oklahoma and Texas Receive Big Rains.
Since Saturday night large
sections of Oklahoma and Texas
have been visited by very heavy
rains, the precipitation at a num-
ber of points registering four
inches and over. Advices from
scores of towns are to the effect
that this liberal moisture will be
of the greatest value to farming
interests and in most places as-
sures bountiful yields of all crops.
Southwestern Oklahoma coun-
ties seem to have received most
of the rain for that state. At
Tulsa the fall was very heavy, a
number of basements were flood-
ed and property damage was
considerable.
Texas advices indicate a liber-
al amount of rain in north and
central sections, and heavy to
torrential in central west and
southwestern parts, San Angelo
and Ballinger reporting unusual
precipitation, and the Colorado
river shows a rise of twenty-two
feet.
At Ballinger five dwellings
were destroyed by wind and three
people were injured.
There was a windstorm at
Gainesville Sunday morning and
property damaged in the north-
western part of town included
some residences and the Fair

Further west the stock country
had copious rains. The Rio
Grande river at Eagle Pass rose
seven feet Sunday, indicating
the excessive rains above. The
rain was two and a half inches
at that point.
Throughout Southern Texa6
most sections received at least
beneficial showers.
At Rossville the rainfall
amounted to one and a half
inches, which will aid the farm-
ers and keep the ranges green.
Lometa, Belton and Lockhart
also reported helpful rains.
Streams in a number of coun-
ties are out of banks and stock
water and irrigation tanks at
many places have been filled.—
