"Write for it today. Approximately 4 inches of rain had fallen in Pine Bluff in the last three days, up to about 6 o'clock last evening, and it was still raining when the measurement was taken by Local Observer J. H. Hudson about that time. When the official guage reading was taken yesterday morning, it showed a rainfall here of 2.37 inches '5n the 24 hours preceding, The reading taken Wednesday morning showed 0.21 of an inch fall, and shortly after 6 o'clock last evening the guage read 1.40, this amount of precipitation having occurred during the daylight hours yesterday.

The total of 3.98 inches, therefore, is the rainfall here in the past 58 hours. The rain was not confined to Pine Bluff, by any means. From all sections of the county come reports of the downpour, and the attendant damage to crops. Other sections of the state, and particularly in the southern and southwestern portion of the state, were heavy rainfalls experienced. Texarkana yesterday morning reported a fall of oM inches, Fort Smith 3.92 Brinkley 3.11 inches and Little inches.
