The drouth continues. There
we're most excellent Indications
for rain several days the past week

most oppressive. That night came
a decided change and Monday was
about as cool a morning as is ever
experienced in July. The weather
since has been fine. Cool, with
delightful breezes. But there is no
indication of rain!

able possibility that all should
fail. Meantime, I think | have
done wisely in permitting the con-
tractor to do the REGISTER side
walk in his own way.
