RANDOLPH - An injury jinx seems to be plaguing little three-year old Gregory Robinson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Arlen Robinson. Hard luck seems to be following him.
He was recovering from having his foot sewed for removal of a piece of glass when he fell and ran a rusty nail into his abdomen, nearly rupturing an intestine.
This wound is healing very well but he has foot trouble again. He caught his foot under a slammed screen door, badly bruising the little toe and joint.

Vernon also took first place in showmanship of swine. He won blue ribbons on all his fat hogs exhibited and on all but one of breeding hogs he exhibited.

RANDOLPH - Rain, falling intermittently in heavy showers early Monday morning, finally brought relief to this section from the long drought and the searing heat wave. Three-fourths of an inch was recorded in Randolph, and the rain was general throughout the Randolph locality.
Cooler temperatures which followed were as welcome as the rain. While much more precipitation is needed, the rain freshened everything, and helped the pastures.
