LYNCHBURG, VA, July l0.-(Special.)
During the past seven days the tempera-
ture has averaged slightly below the
normal for the season, due to the cooler
temperature of the last three days and
the comparatively cool nights accompany
ing the warm days Of the first part Oh
the week. There has been about the
average amount Of sunshine. The ralhIdll
has been in the nature OF local showers
and thunder-storms which occurred ON
the "a, 3D. and 9Th. In the Southwet
counties there were generally good rams
and thence to the coast, with heavy rains
in the southeast section; I'm the central
and northern counties and in the NaIiey
the rainfall WAS generally light and en-
tirely Inadequate. though the little proved
beneficial TO growing crops.

nearly an average crop, but eastward the

THE SUNDAY PAPER.

We do not wish to present here any
excuse or apology for the Sunday news
paper. IL noeds none. It's existence ia
recognized as one of the features of the
day and in most communities is con-
sldered ss function no more in desc
Grafton OF the Sabbath than are the or
binary avocations of mankind on day
set apart for rest and religious obser :
walton. We do offer to suggest to those
who may not know that the work done
in issuing Sunday paper requires less
encroachment into tho holy day than
would one issued on Monday morning
against the appearance of which we
hear but few il any words of condem
nation.
With paper of The TINES standing,
for instance, the receipt and editing Of
news and the composition is finished by
O'Clock on Sunday morning, while the
pressmen are through with their
labors almost by sunrise. Upon
the actual dawning of the Sab
bath thu only work remaining is
the sending out Of the boys on
their routes that the paper may be laid
on the steps by the side Of the milk can
ready for the breakfast table. With
papers published in other localities,
New York for instance, all the work,
including the compilation Of news up to
about idnight, is all in the papers, on
q cd 90 ~, ~
early trains only short while after the
first hour of the day.
With Monday morning paper on the
other hand, editors, reporters and com.
positors labor during the afternoon and
night, and their work Is finished shortly
after the closing hours Of the Sabbath.
True, tho Monday morning paper might
be filled, and is filled, with more com
plete and elaborate accounts of the Sun
day religious ob5ervances, for upon that
day there is little else OF actual news;
yet the preparation Of such matter
entails work, arduous Work, upon the
part OF some one on the day usually de
voted to rest. An old law of Virginia
so regards it, and in obsol vance OF this
law no papers in this State and few in
the South issue a Monday morning
edition.
We hold to tho opinion that if moro
people remained at their homes after
their religious meetings, and read the
valuable matter which the Sunday
papers contain. they might be better of
than they are now. II every ignorant
rioter in Chicago was able to afford
himself of the educational features OF q
Sunday paper, he would not be- found
among the mobs destroying property
and committing other sacriligious acts
on that day.
