The weather during the last week
has been hotter than at any time
since 1881. The thermometers have
reached from 90 to 9S degrees in the
shade. This is several degrees less
than the record of four years ago
when for several days the mercur.
went above 100 degrees. We have
heard of no one having been prostrat
ed by the heat.
II Is to be hoped that all of oul
merchants will sign the agreement
to close at 7 o'clock during the sum
mer. Nearly every other town il
this end of the State has inauguratet
the movement and we hope Hopkins
vile will do likewise. If all woult
close no advantage would accrue tc
any at the expense of others and thu
statesmen would be given season o
rest like men of other callings.

manner. There was only one objeC
