AND IT CAME WEDNESDAY.

Long Prayed For Rain Come, and *» '’Twas a Good One. A general rain never fell out of the clouds that was more welcome than that of Wednesday and Wednesday night. It came in plenty, in sheets, and it came often. One good shower after another until six or seven had fallen in this immediate vicinity. The rising river would indicate that some of it got away, but an examination of the ground in a bare spot in a graden showed the ground wet down more than a foot, and very wet, too, so that a goodly Quantity has gone where it will do the most good. Many corn fields will now make very good yields, but of course those that had been “fired” for several days will not make corn under any circumstances. Wheat sowing, or plowing for wheat sowing will now be an easy task, and there is going to be more sown this year than there probably ever was sown in this county before in any one year.
