RAINS INJURE COUNTY
COTTON CROP-BOGAN
Beneficial to Wheat However; Much
Cotton Will Have to Be Re-
placed Even Now.
y. The rains of the past few days
are very beneficial to the wheat
crops, says L. E. Bogan, county dem-
onstrator, but they are doing much
damage to the cotton crop.
)► lhf stand of cotton all over the
county has been good up to date, he'
says, but the chances for a good
crop art* greatly decreased v^ith the"'
heavy rains of the past two weeks.
A number of farmers will probab- j
ly have to plant their cotton over,
even this late in tin season, he thinks.
I otton that looked good a little
while ago is now yellow and sickly
looking.

PARTS OF CITY ARE
FLOODED BY RAINFALL
A number of complaints came in
to tin- office of the city water depart-
ment yesterday over the flooded con-
ditions of the streets, due to the sew-
ers being taxed with a bigger load of
water than they could carry.
Streets in the southwest part of
town were almost completely under
water yesterday morning Only a
small bridge was visable in the middle
of Klin street. Boyd street, from Elm
street to the university arches, was
flooded.
1 he sewers in this part of town are
simply too small to carry the large
amount of water that drains into them
after an unusually heavy rain, says
Manager Gater.

Putting the Lid on the

cleaning and pressing.

article is too soiled or too old to come from our shop
in a bright, clean condition.
Satisfaction is guaranteed. Let us show you.
Call 281 next time. Our wagon will call.
