days of the week were intensely hot;
the maximum temperature at many
stations exceeding 100 degrees on 3
days The drought continues with in
creased severity over the larger part
of the state Notwithstanding the fact
that the showers of a week ago were
more extensive and in many places
the rainfall much heavier than was
indicated In the last bulletin. Some
stations in the northwestern counties
reported two or over $50 inches OF
rainfall, while in the southern and
southwestern counties, there was no
rain during the week and only light

in the general appearance of the city
and its cleanliness impresses itself on
first sight. Considerable paving has
been put in and the business section is
modern while the improvement in the
residence districts is of an extent and
character that indicates Charlton a
prosperous place.
Just at this time Charlton feels
elated over getting the Rock Island
road which Is building branch from
Carlisle through Charlton to Allerton
