A severe drought is prevailing here For
over two weeks we have had no rain. The
lawns about the village look as though the
fire had run over them. The water in the
streams about here is 80 low as to severely
impede some OF our industries which are
dependent upon water for their power.
The Ely Hoe q Fork Company are now
running their works entirely by steam.
Peck & Fallansbee, lumber manufacturers,
are unable to run their mill At Paddocks
Village the mills can run but few hours
each day. 1t is hoped copious rains will
soon come to replenish our streams. ut is
an i'll wind that blows no good to any one"
The dry weather has enabled the farmers to
put into their barns large crop of hay of
the finest quality. The other crops are not
as yet suffering from the drought. Bust
ness in the town is reported as suffering
from the usual midsummer dullness. Many
of our citizens are away on their vacations,
and but few strangers are in town. The
health of the town is excellent. No cases
