The rain today did an immense
amount of good to the North side. The
heat and dust for the past two weeks
has been almost unbearable. While the
street sprinkler keeps the dust down on
the avenue which is a great benefit, on
all the side streets it is as fine as pow
der and over six inches deep. The con-
tinual travel which prevails on many
| of these streets, especially those leading
| to the country towns, keeps the dust
constantly in motion.

paired and handsomely papered and
