    3. >From "Our Town This Week..." Things look a little brighter this Thursday morning early--at least the sun is trying to shine. It has gotten to be the habit that a shower or more rain comes along about every three days. Last week it rained Tuesday and Friday. This week all day Tuesday. Despite the wetness, the farmers have to keep trying to get the cotton out. Most has been defoliated, and the Monday of this week, 747 bales had been "weighted over" with the Tuesday downpour soaking an awful lot of loaded trailers, 123 bales were hauled in Monday. Cotton farmer, Paul Hazal, uses every advantage! Tuesday during the soaking rain, he took his wife, Eula, shopping and she bought a pretty dress in the store where we met up. (We think that is a good way to forget the farm blues.) (By Mrs. Lois Lacy Lewis, October 7, 1966, The Celeste Courier)
