We have hesitated to discourse
lengthily on the rain that has
come to us so steadily for the
past six or seven weeks. Hain in
this county is usually spoken of
in the past tense for it is hard to
catch .it in action with a weekly
paper. Not so this one.
This county has had whole
years In which it didn’t rain as
much as it has the past six weeks.
Seven big inches is a lot of rain

The ground is soaked until it ex
udes moisture from every cubic
foot. The ditches run as if it were
a spring run-off. Mother Earth is
saturated.
Back in ’93 there was a wet fall
and those who remember say it
was like this, but moreso. Old
timers are like that. No records
were kept in those days, people
taking their weather as it came

prophesy—except thF amateur
