Large Snapper.

S. E. Clayton, who is a lover of
snapper soup, and a successful
fisherman for the snappers, has a
pen of a dozen of various sizes in
his back yard which he is feeding
until they are just the right degree
of fatness to make the best stock
for his favorite soup. Among the
lot is big fellow which he caught
in Furnace creek. 1t weighs 80
pounds and measures 3S inches
from the tip of its nose to the end
of its tail, and IA inches across the
back. Any doubter of this fish
yarn may satisfy himself as to its
reliability by visit to the pen in
Mr.. Clayton's yard, where he will
be shown the turtle and given an
opportunity to see if it will make
good its name by "snapping," if
he wishes.

The Hot Wave.

The hot wave which has been
general throughout the country for
nearly an entire week, reached the
high water mark on Tuesday, when
the mercury ran up to 1902 in the
shade. Everyone was pretty well
satisfied with Monday as hot day,
when thermometers in town regis
tered go to 9So, but Tuesday
started in early as hot, and contin-
ued so until evening, when violent
thunder gust and heavy downpour
of rain relieved the oppressive
heat. The thermometers failed to
agree as to the degree of heat,
ranging from go to as high as 1922
in the afternoon, but one thing is
certain, it was hot. Wednesday
continued warm until late in the
afternoon when a threatened gust
cooled the atmosphere, but the
rainfall was light. The backbone
OF the heated term seemed to be
partially broken Thursday as the
morning started cool and pleasant,
and while the heat increased as the
day progressed the thermometers
did not range as high as on the
days previous. While the heat
has been very oppressive, no pros,
trations have been reported and
delayed harvest work has been
pushed with vigor by the belated
| farmers.
