B Rome is rejoicing over naerly an inch

■ It is the first rain to amount to any-
B thing in fifty days.
■ The great drought is broken, and the
I superstitious persons are relieved.
■ Thr first drops of the welcome rain
/elf fate Sunday afternoon but it was be
tween 6:30 and 9 o’clock that the most
'efreshing showers pattered down. The
parched earth drank it greedily.
. Capt, W. M. Towers reports that only
1.20. or one-fifth of an inch fell Sunday
night. Yesterday afternoon over half
an inch fell.
I According to his records only .05 of
an inch of rain fell August 21. That was
I Rome’s last rain except a trace of rain on
I the last day of that month.
I September is the only month since
/ May, 1855. according to the records kept
/ by the late Mr. R. 8. Norton, during
/ which no rain fell. This breaks a record
/ of 42 years.
/ Record-Breaking Droth.
Observer Pindell of Chattanooga
states that the present drouth is a
record-breaker, far exceeding in point
of area covered and duration any
previous drouth of record in the
United States weather bureau. Prior
to this last dry spell there have been
droughts,lcon fined to certain localities
and within narrow. limits, that ex
ceeded this last one in point of du
. ration, but never in the history of the
United States, since the founding of
the weather bureau, has there ever
been a drought which extended over
such a wide area as this last oae.
Fortunately the droth now broken
occurred at a time- when it did very
little damage. All of the important
ciops had been harvested before the
rigors of the dry spell were felt, and
those crops that haye been ruined by
the droth are, comparatively speak
ing, unimportant and insignificant.
Late potatoes peas, tur
nips, ruta bagoes, etc., in this section,
■E iav« been ruined h J the drouth, al
(■r though cotton, which requires dry
w other at the time when the bolls
ar ready to open, has profited by the
spell.
■ a'V® rain st Rome and over North
was just enough. The whitened
of cqtton have not been hurt, or
|Hthe fleecy staple stained.
Taken altogether, this has been a very
peculiar f»l!, and Observer Pindell of
Chattanooga, predicts a mild winter.
In 1896 the first light frost occurred on
Sept. 25, and on the 29th of same month
there was a heavy killing frost all over
this section. Oct. 10, 11 and 12 of 1896
were days on which heavy forstsoccuned
and on which the weather . was exceed
ingly cool. So far there has been no
frost in this locality this fall.
As the result of the warm weather a
number of pear and apple trees through
out the suburbs and country are bloom -
ing.

for during the next two or three days.
The temperature has fallen four de

cooler weather is predicted.

OUR GEORGIA EXHIBIT.
Description of What This State has at the Ten
nessee Centennial.
A visitor to the Tennessee Centennial,
writing to the Florida Times-Union and
Citizen, describes jour Georgia exhibit a s
follows:
“Immediately on the right hand of the
main entrance—the post of honor is the
Georgia exhibit. Over this, Hon. Aug
Dupont of Dupont, presides as Georgia’,
commissioner, and he honors the posi
tion. Cultured and accomplished, he
can “rattle off” every feature of-the Em
pire State’s agricultural, horticultural,
mineral, and manufacturing resources,
and has, right at hand, the exhibits to
show for it.’ Near the main door the
lofty pillars, reaching to the roof of the
building are artistically decorated with
corncobs'cut into buttons, interspersed
with cereals twined about, of various
kinds and colors. High up on the wall
are pictured landscapes of Georgia’s
fields and forests. The hand of the
painter could not produce a more strik
ing effect than these landscapes made of
shucks, tassels, etc. On the right reced
ing shelves are laden with huge jars of
pears, peaches, red cheeked apples, and
other fruits, such as rarely grow outside
the limits of the Empire State. Cotton
and tobacco catch the eye of the visitor.
On a huge marble [table rests a perfect
sphere of solid gray marble five or six
feet in diameter, polished as smooth as
glass. Georgia exhibits also many pol
ished shaft and slabs of varigated mar
ble—such as few dream can be found
outside of East Tennessee or Italy. Un
der look and key Commissioner .Dupont
guards ove'r;|so,ooo ;worth of gold ore
and gold nuggets, some of the latter as
large as the thumb.
The old state has done hen elf infinite
credit by th6 expenditure of a few thous
and dollars, and will reap her reward a
hundred-fold from increased immigra -
tion aud capital.”
