The weather was rather threatening all day
Sunday, and this fact alone prevented the usual
crowd Of excursionists from visiting the leyee
Many, however, seemed determined to brave the
elements, and the A. G. Brown carried numbers
of delighted ones to Carrollton and back during
the afternoon. The only shower that fell was az
noon, after that hour the clouds did good service
IN protecting us from the suns rays. Yesterday
TIE weather was clear and oppressively warm
during the forenoon. After twelve o'clock fine
breeze prevailed rendering the atmosphere very
pleasant.
Owing to the number of arrivals since our last
the levee wore far more animated aD.
pearance yesterday than it has for several days
past.
