Santuc, August I've are hav- !
ing hot weather now. Sunday and i
Monday of this week, the thormom-.
etor in a well ventilated, double
rooted instrument shelter reached |
90 and 100 degrees respectively.
Chills are very prevalent in this |
section, more of them is reported
than has been for several years, al
so there has been some light form
of fever.
Crops were practically burning
up, but yesterday (Monday,) we
had II steady downpour of rain for
about three hours and 3.41 inches
fell. have not heard from the
storm but with that amount of rain
very likely much ovcrflowing was
done. That is an expensive rain
fall.
Some young ladies visiting or
leaving home on visits may think
they were sighted by not being
mentioned, but did mention them,
and they must needs get after the
Editor for he "cut it OUT" but he
might have been ovrrstockcd.
| thought | could send in some
news about the dam but could not
get up much. They are still at
work and but recently men came
and arc now putting in the govern
Ors.
There was picnic down at Mr..
| ID. r. McCrackcns' last Friday and
those who went say it was a fine
one, and quite large crowd at
tended.
Two dispcnsary constablcs were
here two weeks ago with an eye on
some liquor jugs in the express of

took wings and fcw," so they
went off without the booty. Any
one interested directly or indirectly
in whiskcy or the movement of it
generally, scheme some way to btat
the officers of the law. But, was
there ''niggcr in the wood-pilc?'
Roads arc being worked, and as
hard as the ground is / think it a
waste of both time and money.
Better than raking up a little dust
and throwing grass and weeds and
broom sadgc in the roads, would be
to save the money to fill up mud
holes in the winter time.
Some little smart alcck negro |
boys threw rocks at, and into the
conductors cab of a freight train |
last Friday evening, breaking out a
window and one rock struck the
conductor. The train was stopped
and an attempt was made to catch

| would not care how severely they
are punished for they only loaf |
around the place and pitch ball,
yelling all the time and studying
dcvilmcnt. They have made them
selves and ball playing a nuisance,
and hope the railroad will find
and punish them. We thought
they were getting ragged, but per-
haps it is the smartness bursting
through.
went to Union today to the
farmers rally, was disappointed in
not hearing Mr.. Harvey Jordan,
but enjoyed the speeches of Messrs.
Hyatt and Smith. | didn't grow
tired of the speeches but did get
tired of the backless seats, the heat
and some men jumping up before

they forgot. l saw goodly num-
Der of friends. There were not but
a few ladies out, not as many as |
expected. | thought that l might
probably sec girl there, but l
didn't.
Bctwixt alterations of extreme
wet and severe dryncss, all who are
connected with farming might be
expected to have blues and see only
deserts, but there are many little
oasis and acrimonally a big one.
Even though this may seem like a
deferred ncws-itcm," / went
through big oasis in the great
desert last week, drank at the
springs" at the sweets" and
basked in the sunshine of many
plcasantries but no shade is more
acceptable at this season. went
