To local people in general and farmers in particular, the dry hot weather during the past fortnight! indeed a sore trial. The scarcity of rainfall gave industrious cultivators a good deal of anxiety for the various crops, particularly the peanut which is grown exten- sively here. The only people who favour and enjoyed much a ell matie condition were the witch doc tors whose expensive services were engerly sought by the plous and superstitious farmers to effect a vigorous downpour. Despite the effects of these professional rain- makers, there was no sign of rain morning coming till yesterday when a mild shower, jreceded by lightnings and peals of thunder, came. The rainfall, though some what helated, wao. nevertheless, refreshing.
