That while it is baa enough, the damage wrought by the wet weather and excessive rainfall last week is not so great up north of Shelby and along through the John Brown lands as at first reported. Like the damage wrought in this vicinity, it is in spots. Of course that land lying so level one would naturally suppose that the entire country was overflowed. This is not true, however, and many fields there were not damaged, at all. Last Sunday’s rain did not extend that far north, and the farmers were busy Wednesday morning with binders and mowers in their fields. Perhaps the greatest damage done in Jasper county outside of the Gifford district, was in about Surrey, Parr and east of Fair Oaks.
