After the last few days we pronounce
everybody in Baton Rouge to be copper
fastened so far as heat is concerned.
Never, since we can remember, has the
pressure been so heavy as of late. Yet,

The nights are cool enough withal, so
that respite is given us between one
day and another. 1t rained on Tuesday,
but on Wednesday the sky was as dry as
povderhorn. Good gracious, whew!
