Hamilton. August 2. 1899.
These are. the days when business IN all
lines is comparatively dull; when the very
atmosphere is languid, n people pc
come generally inert, and find It's sweet
to do nothing when the wicked cease to
trouble very much because they are TOO
lazy, and the weary welcome a season Oh
rest. August is the month when the peo-
pie of this city are wont to turn their
backs on humdrum, everyday life ana
betake themselves to the mountains for
rest and recreation. Some find Lake
Como and it's beautiful surroundings the
most attractive spot; others are prepar-
ing to go to Wilde's Springs. and many
parties are arranging to camp outs IN
primitive fashion. The very fortunate
ones are those who are about to take the
trip to the Yellowstone park as the pleas
ATTEST diversion offered. A large party
will start for the park on Friday If thelr
preparations are completed by that time.
Among the number will be Assessor
Watts and family, Mr.. j. J. Watts, Mr..
and Mrs. j. L. Umble, DR.. and Mrs.
Owens, Mrs. Cummins. Miss Fannie Cum
Minis, c. c. Chafiin, Messrs. Edwards and

ing out on the way. A good cook accom-
panies the party and a general good time
