Another Heavy Rain Friday Night And Crops Are Handicapped.

Another heavy rain visited us Friday night aqd this Saturday morning and as a result many of the fields in sections of the county are submerged in many places and the corn and oats are not looking as well as they might. Heavy rains have visited us at short intervals during the past week or more and the farmers fear another short crop if weather conditions do not change soon. No great damage has been done as yet. The Iroquois river at the present time is the highest it has been yet this year. jjfr. and Mrs. W. E. Green returned to their home at West Chicago today After a visit with Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Tilton and family. Mr. Green is a brother of Mrs. Tilton.
