week afforded considerable relief,
after people had sweltered through
the several hot days previous. Straw
hats and light weight oyercoats were

of himself for what he turned around
and did to us again on Friday.

and dealers. Some mills have been
destroyed by fire and some of the

moved out of the county. while the
larger concerns have increased stocks.
Assessors in most towns throughout
the county report that they find

number of live stock in their respect

year. The number has considerably
diminished, due to the scare the
farmers got last fall when they found
they had failure of the hay crop
