The newspaper man, strange as it may
seem. is busiest and has to work harder
in the long dull, hot summer days, When
everybody else is travelling for pleasure,
or idling at. home, for if other people are
not making news for him, he has to make
it himself. The duller people are, the hot
ter it is and the fewer the amusements
they have, the more they expect from the
newspaper, and if that gets dull too, then
life seems hardly worth living.

Fort Hill last Thursday morning. and

Since last friday night the weather has
been in very unsettled condition. From
every section of the County comes the
report that there has been big rainfall,
and in some sections the land has been
terribly washed aud the crops badly dam
aged. Hail fell, too, in many sections,
and much damage resulted therefrom. In
the city on Saturday night we had the
most vivid display Of lightning, accom-
panied by the loudest roll Of thunder, ever
witnessed by our people. On Monday the
wind changed to the east, and since then
it has been cold and disagreeable.
