SETTLED WEATHER HOPED FOR

Yesterday, Which Was Somewhat Cooler Than Past Few Days. Remington got a very heavy rain Tuesday afternoon, considerably more, it is said”, than we got at Rensselaer, where it was also one of the heaviest rains of the season. Bht between Remington and Rensselaer, in through Jordan township where the land is lower and cannot stand so much rain, only a very light shower' fell, fortunately, and the farmers were able to resume plowing corn Wednesday afternoon. No Tain fell to speak of over about Goodland nor a few miles east of Rensselaer Tuesday afternoon. Another quite heavy rain fell here Wednesday might, and this seems to have been quite general in this vicinity. The weather was threatening Thursday all day long, but no rain fell at all, and yesterday was a little cooler and indications were favorable for a spell of settled weather, which is badly needed now to enable the farmers to plow their corn, as the splendid growing weather of the past few weeks has started the weeds to growing as well as everything else. Crop prospects at this time are the most promising we have ever seen in Jasper county.
