RAIN.
*Tis rain and rain and rain
And tiie farmers all are “blue”
Nothing to show for a summer's work
And nothing at all to do.
The day is fair and cloudless,
The sun is shinirg bright;
With hopeful hearts they cut t heir hay
And the rain pours down all night.
]s it an all-wise Providence
Who sanctions all these storms?
And does he hold the earth
Encircled in his arms?
Why can't we see the wisdom
We know he does display
In sending down the rainstorm
To wash our crops away?
But no, we will not manner,
’Tis all lor our own sakes
That every thing has happened thus:
God never makes mistakes.

BLIND TIGER BLOWN UP.
.Jonesboro, Aug. 3s. About '1
o’clock yesterday morning a build
ing known as the “Hole in the
Wall,” the rear part of which is
occupied as a Mind tiger, was
blown up by dynamite.
The explosion made a terrific
noise, awakened every one in the
town, and it was heard and felt
a mile away. One end of the
building was blown out, and the
window glasses of buildings adjoin
ing and opposite were shattered.
A man the W est Plains hotel was
cut by flying glass, but that was
the only personal injury reported.
The building was a one-story brick
owned by C. II. Davis.
The Law and Order League has
been fighting the blind tigers here,
and it is supposed some sympa
thizer with the movement to stamp
out the illegal sale of whisky com
mitted the deed. There is abso
lutely no clue to the perpetrators,
as it was done at an hour when the
whole town was asleep.

large rattlesnake, shooting its

body oil. The severed head was
hurled by the discharge against
the bird dog belonging to the far-:
mer. It bit the dog and he died j
within a few minutes.—State Re
