COPIOUS RAINS HAVE FALLEN

More rain fell Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, while Sunday forenoon we got a regular downpour for time, the heaviest ,we have had since early spring. It has turned off bright and pleasant now and there is apparently no immediate danger of frost,* although there Is not much except some late garden truck, perhaps, that a frost would Injure. The mercury in the shade at 2 p. m. yesterday registered 68 degrees. The ground was so warm when these rains came that the grass has sprung up amazingly and the lawns now look nice and green, while If the warm weather continues for a week oe 10 days it is probable there will be quite a bit of (pasture yet this fall. While the rains of the past week have been general and copious the ground was so very dry that it is still hard plowing in many places, especially on clay ground.
