City.
The hot season is upon us and it be-
hooves everybody to keep as cool as pos
sible Some are 50 fortunate as to be able
TO fly from hot houses and blisteriDg streets
to camp, tbs mountains and the seaside.
The vast msjority Of Us must, however,
remain where we are and make the best Of
it While it may be impossible to abso.
lutsly keep cool, )" it is possible to keep
comparatively comfortable. The great
secret of comfort in hot weather is
to be careful in the matter of eat
ing and drinking. Meat is heat
ing Vegetables and fruits are laxative
and cooling. therefore eat as little
meat as possible and devote yourself to
vegetables and fruits. Don't drink much,
and when you do drink, drink cold water,
iced tea, lemonade and buttermilk, rather
than hot tea, coffee or beer. Beer is de-
cidedly heating and should be drunk mod
erately. Dress lightly, the lighter the bet
ter az dark clothes absorb heat-don't fret
and worry, keep in the &hsde as much as
possible, carry parasol or umbrella when
exposed to the sun, keep your conscience
clear and sleep all you can. Garry out
these directions as closely as you can and
You will in a sense feel that you are happy
and as cheerful as the occupant of the
camp ground or any individual. who is

WHAT ABOUT THE FOURTH.
It begins to appear as If the town has
forgotten that there is such holiday as
the Fourth of July. For several years
there has been no celebration of the occa-
sion worth mentioning. A picnic or two,
with some fights aud black eyes, of course,
have always been held, but such occasions
hardly can be put under the head, 'cele'
bration of the Fourth" At GAINESVILLE
the event will be duly celebrated
and the town will wear halo
such az she never assumed
before Daring the day there will be
speaking, horse racing, etc, and at night
a grand display OF fireworks. 1t comes q
little late for feast of strawberries, but it
would be boon to have lot of the lusci'
Gus fruit in the town 40 that visitors may
know that the strawberry is still one OF
the principal products of Bsrnesyille. At
Csdiz, marietta and other places the Fourth
will be celebrated with much vigor. Ii is
too late for the Glass City to do honor to
the day we celebrate" but We can get
ready for the event next year.
THAT COURT HOUSE.
The complaint about the amount Of
money that has been spent on the county
buildings at st. Clairsville has become
chronic and not without reason. The
original amount contemplated for the erec-
ton of the buildings was 5000, 900, but it
will take another $1,000 TO complete
the structure. In by-gope days S5O, 600
was considered a big sum to put In
buildings that were to be paid for by the
peaple, but in this age Of progress economy
is distorted so that its qualities are M
recognizable. A correspondent OF the Ohio
TaLey Nc,cs, who by the way, is little
severe, has the following to say:
when we critjcise the acts of the Com
missioners we will speak plainly and in
form them that they have pulled down
our county buildings, which, upon the
testimony of witnesses from st. Clairsville,
were good enough to serve the county for
the next twenty years, and they have ex-
travagently spent the money OF the people
in erecting other buildings; they have
piled debt on the people that the present
generation will not see paid, and many a
poor family will have their home sold
under the hammer to raise the money to
pay the debts they have contracted with.
