Beginning Sunday and lasting over
the following Friday the country is
lifeely to experience one of the most
terrific storms of the spring and it
would be well to prepare now for it.
Near the 19th the full force of this
movement will make itself felt in a
great many places in the South, and
there are to be more snow blockades
in the North. Hail here is likely, also
A very cold wave is almost certain,
which will be the last of the winter.

night which is fine on all manner of
crops that have been planted the past
few days. While the crops were not
exactly suffering for rain yet it was
needed to start them off, especially
after several days of high dry winds
that prevailed over this section, rap-
idly drying the top crust.

keeps a record of rainfall in Ladonia,

William Edmonds Bates was bom

California, after an Illness of fifteen
months. ,. *
He was the son of Willis Hubbard

He was married to Sa?ab Saman-

fell here Tuesday night.
The rain was fine on corn that is
up and looking nice. This will cause
it to grow by leaps and bounds. Like
wise it. is exactly what is needed on
cotton that has been planted the past
few days. - The News understands
that quite a lot of farmers had plant-
ed cotton. In Borne sections they
were half through planting. With
the rain and favorable weather a good
stand is almost assured. One year
with another, the early cotton is the
safest bet, from the fact that it raa-
falling here, and indications are for
lots of moisture. A shower was need
ed to settle the ground stirred during
the high winds prevailing last week,
but few of us wanted another flood.
Property Loss at Van Alstyne
An electric storm, accompanied by
high wind and heavy rain, visited
this section Tuesday night between
8 and 9 o’clock. A heavy rain also
fell in the forenoon Wednesday and
Wednesday night, the total precipita-
tion being between 3 and 4 inches.
Considerable damage by wind was
done in Van Alstyne and elsewhere
in this part of the county, with minor
losses resulting from fire which was
caused by lightning. One of the
heaviest losses, however, was due to
fire.—Leader.
