The long continued hot weather is get
ting ID be a very serious thing in Rich

feature about the whole matter is that

Nould be slightly lowered but that this

At the Tredegar Company, and at most
of the foundries of the city, the men are
having hard time OF it, and it is almost
sn1posSiile for them to stand a whole day s
work at 4 time.
The almost insufferable heat fairly
ecrowded the street cars with people last,
might and the ice man was popular through
bout the city ali day. IF today is as hot as
aconditions seem to Indicate. there will be
han exodus from the city to the various
seaside resorts and country places
The street car lines will also reap an
smother harvest Meanwhile all are hoping
that the next few days will find the
weather much cooler.
