1T WAS HOT.

The Mercury Jumped sky-High Sunday
Crops Suffering.
Last Sunday was the hottest day
of the season, the mercury in the
thermometer getting distressingly
near the 100 mark. The rays from
old Sol beat down without pity upon
sweltering humanity, and the ma
jority of people remained at home
during the day and sought out the
coolest spots they could find. Some
say the mercury got as high as 100,
and even little above that. The
official registration at Nashville
showed that it was hotter there than
at almost any other place in the
United States, the thermometer reg
isteriDg SO degrees.
Crops throughout the county are
suffering great deal on account OF
the droutn.
