rains COME IN ABUNDANCE

Another heavy rain visited tiie country a few miles north of town Saturday morning; and many fields were inundated. However, the rain did not reach the onion fields in the vicinity of Newland and it* is said that crops there are very good. In fact crops throughout this section looking exceptionally fine and if the weather but remains favorable for the cultivation of corn in the future the crop outlook for Jasper county will be the best in years. Sunday and Monday were both ideal summer days, the temperature rising to a, point insuring rapid corn growth. Yesterday came in cloudy and with some indications of rain, but soon cleared and gave every indication of continuing so.'
