Rensselaer and vicinity had a fine rain last evening, which will be of inestimable value to all kinds of vegetation. The rains the last two days have been pretty well distributed over the county, Remington and vicinity having had a nice rain before it reached here. There was only a slight sprinkle in portions of the north end of the county yesterday. The Republican is in receipt of a copy of the Winchester Democrat, in which the following complimentary mention is made of the former landlord of the Makesver House and his son: “The Randolph Hotel, under the v new management of A. J. and W. H. Brenner, is making a decided success of this popular hostelry. Especially are the Sunday dinners appreciated by the people of Winchester as is evidenced by the large number who are taking advantage of them. The Brenners are capable hotel men, always congenial, and onr city is to be congratulated that the Randolph is being so efficiently handled.’’ We unloaded, last week, another car of Eastern cane granulated sugar, the best sugar for preserving fruit.
