ATLANTA, July 1.-The weather is on a regu-
lar jamboree-in fact everything is broken up
in the way Of steady weather The CLERK of
the weather is now playing thunder" as well
as lightning too, or three times day around
| Atlanta.
Outsiders get the most of the rain, but we
get plenty Of wind. thunder and lightning and
| clouds Of dust. Trees and signs ''swing cor
ners" and dance around pretty lively.
This morning we are having a real COOL
| strong breeze, with indications OF rain. Yes
.<rday it was too hot to live. but q thunder
oSoiM came along and cooled off the atmos-
| Pnere ana laid the dust

It nothing severer than the reoact .,,,rr,, !,
ahead of us we shall not complain
Outdoor enterprises flourish. and have ~.
heard of but one case OF prostration from heat.
One reason of this is that the hot spells are
cut short by cloudy weather. and by storms
that pass around or over the city. On the
whole, therefore, we ought not to complain Of
"Old Probs' and what he sends us.
Our political atmosphere is Just now In the
same stormy and unsettled condition. with
plenty of thunder and lightning around In
spots, and blood in the air" 1t is hoped
however, that clearer aud more hopeful con
dition of things will exist after the approach
ing convention.
Blaekberries are getting so plentiful here
that the market is Overstocked. Your receh'
editorial on "BlackDerries as a Market Crop
ought to be copied into all the country papers
and TINS desirable berry improved by cultiva-
lars worth of dried blackberries and the kllsi-
ness is extending every season.
ST. Luke's Episcopal Church, situated on
Walton street tree nat has had n long and severe
verdict of over five hundred dollars against 1t
for furnishings, which has been kept on for
ditioD, espe eially as it is at present known as
the Bishops Cathedral. 1t is a case that az
peals to the generosity of wealthy and phil
anthropic churchmen.
The ThonlGSUiLle Enterprise, following up
my brief suggestion in a recent letter, has a
well-written editorial on the movement to
break the State Road lease There is a very
big and.very black nigger on the wood pile. and
the State will do well to make haste in this
matter rather slowly. or she may kill the goose
that lays every month $4,000 golden egg in
her treasury.
Atlanta IS to have an oleomargarine factory,
with f. ThurOer, the great New York grocer,
and others in its management. One thing is
certain-it cannot manufacture a viler article
of butter than the dirty, greasy. unhealthy
stuff that comes to this market in tin cans
from neighboring States. It will be fresh and
sweet, although it may not be as good as a
genuine article Of ordinary butter.
LOCAL JoTTIEGs.
Manufacturers of fertilizers had better not
locate in any of Atlanta's aristocratic suburban
villages, as Judge Hillyer has sustained the
injunction against the fertilizer factory 10
Kirkwood. which is required to furnish better
odor for the surrounding atmosphere or 'fold
up its tent like the Arabs and silently steal
away" to a less sensitive and sensible commu-
nifty.
am glad Oscar Wilde is to be here on the
''gaLorious" fourth of July. as he will see
sight such as no other city in the world can
present on Independence day" From five TO
ten thousand country negroes, the passenger
depot jdntned with them all day and the
streets and sidewalks in the vicinity given 10
to peanut. watermelon and lemonade stands. |
seat on that day.
The bottom seems to have dropped down If |
not out Of the late real estate boom or crsza |
and sales are slower and prices lower The /
fact is. rival real estate agents-whose /
name is legion-forced the market up to a wild |
and unhealthy condition, and the reaction has
now set In. AS much of the real estate has
been sold on wide credit margins a stringepcv |
in the money market will play sad havoc with I
the over-hopeful purchasers
And yet Atlanta grows and has good pros
poets for the future, despite the over-zeaious
and unwise efforts of spectators and other in
terested parties to exalt her and her future
truth. slow healthy growth in children an1
cities is far more to be desired than rabifI
mushroom development that is unreliable
The Post-A ppeoL is publishing q series OF
articles to show that one third of AtIanta's |
best citizens are from Tennessee. another
third IRON Virginia. and still another third
from South Carolina, the balance OF our poDu-
lation being natives or gathered from the
world at large.
Dr. Alexander Fox the Russian optician is
still in Jail, although Judge Hillyer greatly re-
dnon0 his bonds His Ia q cad s.,j |
yet his failure to keep his peace bond las ran.
dered it hard to find any one willing to run the
risk of a second bond.
The deepest anxiety prevailed here yester
day in regard to the hanging Of Guiteau. es
pecially among the colored people, and when
the news Of his final drop" came there was
big sigh of relief, and expressions Of thankful |
ness that the wretch had been executed
Our old volunteer fire department retired
from the field last night, after long. faithful
more poorly paid for by the city fathers The
new paid department takes hold to-day. and
will be sort Of half and half economical
affair.
AS our water-works thus far have proved a
poor defense against fire, ard hardly able to |
supply sufficient dirty water for ordinary uses.
do not predict very brilliant career for the |
new fire department.. A larger supply of water
bye and bye may help them out

Rev DR.. w. h Potter, the newly elected !
editor OF the Wesleyan CbTSstiGn advocate
has level head" on the subject of church,
music and music teachers, and he strikes some
heavy blows at a style Of music that is ruininpI
the sacredness OF many OF our Atlanta church, I
services. He heads his editorial "iSloOt thet
Music" and closes his long and able protest
with this recommendation: "If we can do
nothing else, let us laugh this sLoatch of fhe
stage, out of the concert hall, out of the
church, out OF the land, into the sea shoot
the music, again we say, shoot the music music
