Nice Shower Thursday Afternoon And Evening Helped Farmers.

Rensselaer and vicinity received ji fine shower Thursday afternoon and evening, and the rain last night was an especially helpful one. The drouth of the past few weeks had caused the a great deal of concern as the corn was beginning to curl before the rays of the sun, and the rain caused a great deal of encouragement to the farmers in general.

Green County (Ohio) Journal. —The Lincoln Chautauqua hp>s done one handsome and thoughtful thing, besides others, of course. It has not forgotten the young folks.—The arrangements to have them up early in the morning for play work and story instruction," is a praiseworthy idea. And it works most delightfully. This feature is in charge of Miss Alice Beaman, the play director. What she don’t think of to hold their attention and employ their activities, is probably not conceived, but when it is, she will be the first co grasp it, and utilize it for the amusement and benefit of the little folks. And by the way, some of them are not so little, either, for she has graded play work interesting to small and large. We are frank in stating that he Lincoln Chautauqua is the very best we have ever had. The musical features are well enjoyed. There is little doubt if another chautauqua is held, it will be given to the Lincoln people. They have proven themselves to be trustworthy, fair, accommodating and courteous.
