WEATHER OF PAST FEW DAYS

Rain fell practically all of Wednesday night and part of Thursday. The mercurj, dropped to the freezing point Thursday night and thin ice was formed in some of the small pools of water. It is not believed that any damage has yet resulted to the oats, two-thirds of which acreage at least has already been sown in Jasper county. The wind blew almost a gale a part of Thursday night and Was still blowing qoiite strong yesterday, which has had the effect to dry up the roads and . fields considerably. Otherwise yesterday was a bright, sunshiny day. For good-work and reasonable prices, ’phone 41 —LEE ARDS, paper banger and painter.
