A Record Breaker.

Thursday, July II, will go on record
as probably the hottest day ever exper-
fenced in this section. The heat was
simply terrific-it was unprecedented.
1t was not an ordinarily hot summer
day, but it was a record breaker; it was
perhaps the most dangerously hot day
Columbia has ever had. Thermometers
at various places in the city registered all
the way from 103 to 106, from to 3 p.
m. In addition to the intensely hot rays
of the sun, there was dry, sitting wind
from the north west, to face which was
like facing a burning building or the
hot air from on oven.
Both in the town and ,untry, busi-
ness was virtually suspended. Many
farmers quit work, turned their stock
loose and sought the shade themselves
in their efforts to keep cool. In. town
the stree is we're almost deserted in the
afternoon and everything was as quiet
as on Sunday. Horses suffered great
deal from the heat and drivers had to
take extra precautions in order to pre-.
vent their animals becoming Frustrated,
and many old inhabitants say they do
not remember any weather to equ VI it.

Rear-End Collision,

A rear end COLI, ion between two vehi-
cles took place last FIR day in front of
Rush Gresham s grocery on South High
street, when Charley Hardison's buggy
was run into by Gibson's hack. Hardi-
son was driving along, not noticing the
hack in the rear when he stopped to
adjust piece of harness. The driver
of the hack tried to turn to one side,
but one of his wheels suck Hardison's
buggy overturning the vehicle and
throwing the occupant to the ground.
Fnrther than the buggy being consider
ably torn up, no other damage was done
Mr. Hardison was slightly hurt.

A Hot SUNDAY.

Old Sol sent his burning rays down
with a venA eance Sunday, and gave
us anoi her hot day, the mercury scoring
l04 degrees in the afternoon. After
sunset even, the air was very oppressive
In Maury County the drouth has only
had its effects in spots In some places
vegetation has been greatly damaged,
While in other places the crops are just
beginning TO feel the effects. Columbia
is probably he dryest spot in the county,
as there has not been any rain in this
immediate section for about five weeks.
1t is estimated that corn within a radius
of a mile of town has been damaged
two thirds and unless rain comes within
a week, the loss will be almost total.
At fair estimate, the yield Of the corn
crop in the county, from present indica-
tions, will be cut down fully one half.
