THE LEXINGTON LEADER
VOLUME 22
LEXINGTON, CLEVELAND COUNTY. OKLAHOMA. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12. 1913
NUMBER 52
DROUTH HAS
BEEN ENDED
General Rains Have Fallen
Over Oklahoma and Ad-
joining States
DOES MUCH GOOD
An Alfalfa Crop Can Now
Made and Harvested
Before Frost
Be
The prolonged drouth which
has existed throughout the entire
state and likewise Kansas, Arkansas
and most of Texas was broken Mon-
day by a heavy rain. The prelim-
inary shower fell Sunday afternoon
followed Sundav and intermittently
Monday by downpours. The rain
here was accompanied by sharp
lightening which did considerable
damage.
The rain will do a great deal of
good and the scarcity of water
which has existed in many towns
throughout the state will be re-
lieved. Pasture land will be helped
the ground softened for fall plow-
ing and general health conditions
improved everywhere. The dust
has been a large factor in the great
amount of*sickness which has been
prevalent but now that it has been
settled health will improve.
Now that the weather conditions
have become unsettled, the precipi-
tation will no doubt continue. The
rain was general all over the state,
almost every county reporting a
good rainfall. It was welcomed
by all alike.
Methodist Services
At 11 a. m. next Sunday the sub-
ject will be, "The Church of God
and its membership," followed by
the baptism of infants. At night
Dr. J. M. Peterson of Oklahoma
City will preach and administer the
sacrament. Monday at 9 a. m. he
will hold the fourth quarterly con-
ference and will preach at 11 o'clock.
Everybody is cordially "invited to
attend all these services. They will
be rare occasions for learning the
truth as taught in the bible. Our
motto: ''Turn on the light."
A. S. Doak. Pastor.

A Bad Team
The team belonging to "Dutch"
Matthies which ran away recently
and smashed up a mail wagon as
well as disfiguring Dutch took it
upon themselves to run away again
last Thursday morning. This time
they became unmanageable as Ar-
thur Brosseau was hitching them
up at the R. 0. Smith home. They
ran into a tree close by but luckily
not much damage was done, only
the singletree being broken. Dutch
says he is going to put them
through a systematic course of
training and see if his efforts will
not relieve them of the idea of
wanting to run away.
