THURSDAY EVENING’S SHOWER

Here Helped Vegetation Consider- | a bly—More Expected Yesterday. A nice rain fell in Rensselaer Thursday evening shortly after 5 o’clock. It did not last very long, but quite a lot of water fell for the time it was at it. The indications yesterday .afternoon at the hour of going to press were favorable for more rain, which is needed. • Quite a nice rain fell Tuesday evening about 7 o’clock up in the vicinity of Moody and Barkley church, and east of town from about the S. S. Shedd farm west to the Gangloff corner. It was one of those pecliar local showers that we sometimes have here. Sam Scott reported that at his farm in Barkley it was too wet to plow corn Wednesday morning. Not a drop of this rain fell in Rensselaer.
