LAWRENCE, May 7th. The Weather Observance at Calkville, this county, reports the coldest May for many years. The lowest is the coldest.  Official thermometer records indicate that the record has been in unusual number of cloudy days, but the precipitation is not above the average, being nineteen inches up to May 15. The cool weather has set it in the crops back to a distressing degree. Corn is coming up well, vegetables are growing slowly, worms are damaging nearly all growing things, and many farmers are behind in their work.
