The heat Yesterday afternoon and last
nicht as The train spanned the bat cot n
try below Georgia was almost insufera-
bic. Although the Richmond and DanYllle
people did all that human hands could
do 10 make the Daughter Of the Con-

was NOT proof against the waves OF heat
and dust encountered. and the fatigue or
the trip was I'm consequence very great.

al Atlanta and Governor Jones at Mont
gomery Miss Davis received no Visitors,
and when she arrived here she went
quietly 10 the st. Charles Hotel, where
she remained all day. Mrs. j. A. Hayes,
daughter of Mr.. Davis, with her husband,
arrived this morning at o'clock from
Colorado. and are the guests Of Mr.. j. ).
