'The Drought and Crops.

Politics and pic-nics have sus-
pended activity, and all that is
thought of and talked of is the con-
tinued drought which has become
alarming. Old people say nothing
like it has occurred in the history
of the country since the drought
of 1854. No rain here for over two
months, with the exception of one
slight shower about a month ago.
There was a pretty good rain at
Nashville last Sunday, which ex-
tended as for south as Springfield.
We also learn that in the neighbor-
hood of Lafayette, KY, and the
section of county northwest of here
there were good rains. Advices to
the American state that not more
than twenty out of sixty-four coun-
ties have escaped the fearful drought
and even in these the crops are sor-
ry looking. Indeed, the news from
all parts of the State is distressing,
and causes great apprehension. All
the grass and even the leaves of the
trees have dried up. Streams and
springs have gone dry, and stock is
actually suffering for water. The
tobacco and corn crops are irrepara-
bly, injured, and from the present
outlook will hardly make quarter
of crop. The damage can not be
estimated. From all the districts
in our own immediate county the
reports are "no rain, crops dried
up and all gloomy"
Everybody is praying for rain.
AT the present writing the weather
is hot to suffocation, and the sky as
clear and cloudless as a chrystal.
Its long lane that has no turning,
and every day brings us nearer to
the time when the rain will de-
scend.

Three"Pied" Compositors.

The ''daisiest layout" that ever
struck our city was seen on our
streets couple of weeks ago. 1t
was three printers. They had late
ly become members of a strolling
theatrical company, but the COM
pany, not being able to ante up the
weekly dividends, "busted," and
these three festive typos were COM
PEELED to take the road and go on a
hunt for "greener fields and pas
lures new" We were down near
the passenger depot when they
"came in" and they presented a
truly comical picture as they came,
one behind another, counting
cross-ties" down the track. The
leader had brass horn under each
arm and an ancient and hungry
looking carpet bag in his hand; the
next had bass-violin strung per-
pindicularly upon his back, with his
wardrobe-a linen duster-hung on
his arm, while the last had a
bundle, half as big as bale of cot
ton on his back, and. a small-sized
Saratoga" in his hand. They
said it was a very laborious way of
travelling, but that it made their
feet sore to ride and the cars made
their heads swim. If they could
strike a "case" we guess they
would be content to be t'galley-
slaves" the rest of their lives.

Fire at Palmyra.

on Tuesday night last, the store
house of Messrs. Williams & Owen,
dealers in drygoods and general
merchandise, at Palmyra Tenn,
ten miles below here, was burned
with its entire contents. we learn
that Mr.. Williams left the store
about IL O'Clock, extinguishing the
lamp, and is positive that he left no
fire in. the house. He went to his
dwelling house situated not far off,
and between / and 2 O'Clock was
awakened by the explosion of two
kegs of powder which he had in the
store. His books and two hundred
dollars jig money were in the safe
and were saved. They estimate
their stock at $4,000. and the house
about 5000, both of which was to-
tai loss, as they had no insurance.
They have no clue TO the cause of
the fire, beyond suspicion that it
was burglarized for goods and then
set On fire. They are clever, good
merchants and have the sympathy
of the whole community.

Not. Hotter. Hottest.

Vennor has greatly injured his
reputation in this locality since
he predicted rain on the Sth,
9th and 10th, and shot the Their
mometer Of hope away up to the
top of the tube only to let it fall
down below zero when Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday, the dates
named, came and passed away and
no rain. Not only have we had no
rain, but the weather has been abb
solutely insufferable, the thermom-
eter at Stewards drug store, on
Tuesday, registering go, and ON
Wednesday, 1922 in the shade.
Wednesday was the hottest day
which has been felt i'm GAINESVILLE
for over thirty years, according to
Mr.. Stewards self-registering Their
mometer. His father, Prof. VIM.
M. Stewart, had kept a strict record
of the temperature of the weather
for thirty years previous to his
death, and since that time, several
years ago, Mr.. Sam Stewart has
kept a close record, and according
to this, Wednesday was the hottest
day in thirty years past. There
was considerable breeze, but even
this, instead of being cooling, was
more suggestive of an African siroc-
co, almost peeling the very skin
from the face. We can stand a hot
calm, but when the very winds
themselves come scorching with
additional heat human endurance
fails.

We sincerely regret to chronicle
the death of FL. f. Mcclure, which
event transpired at the residence of
his father at Trenton, KY, Satur-
day, August 6, 1881. This excel
lent young man was cut down in
the very morning of life, being only
% years old. He was an intelligent
man and courteous gentleman,
and possessed the happy art of con-
ciIiating popular favor, therefore,
he was acceptable and beloved
among his numerous acquaintance.
He was young man of high moral
courage, fact which was proven
by his being an earnest and exemp-
larry Christian. A religion without
morals imposes the restraint of no
self-denial, therefore, the worldly
minded and the wicked may pro-
fess such religion and parade title
to an eternal estate. Such religion
is popular and excites no opposition
even from the extremely wicked,
because it antagonizes no evil, and
to be Christian on this plane is
neither wise nor brave. But a
Christian, according to the stand
ard enacted by the great teacher, is
the highest type of man for courage
and moral excellence, especially in
this materialistic and idolatrous
age. Such a Christian was Frank
Mcclure; therefore, he died in
peace, and with triumph. His
body was inferred beside his grand
mother Jackson, by his own re-
quest, in Greenwood cemetery, in
this city. He had profound ven
Grafton for his grandmother, who
was one of the best women that
ever lived or died in our communi-

A New nianufactOry

we learn that Messrs. John Irwin
and Henry Award have purchased
of A. We'll the lot on the corner OF
Main and First Cross streets, and
are building thereon large brick
wagon factory. Mr.. John Irwin
has been the manufacturer of the
Justly celebrated "Irvin Wagon" fol
nearly twenty-five years, in Glarks-
vile, and there never was more
substantial, durable or perfect wag-
on turned out of any workshop than
he can manufacture. He will give
his personal attention and supervis-

while Mr. Award will attend to
the wood work, than whom there
is no superior in this department Of
wagon making. Both of these gen.
tlemen have had large and practical
experience in the manufacture of
wagons of all kinds, and we have
no fear but that they will meet with
quick success from the start.
