This is not the worst nor all by any

1T has d hope Of securing better

some COUP TO THE 108 marx
THE HOTTEST DAY IN THIS SEC.
TioN EVER KNOWN BY THE
"oLDEsT AND MOST RELIABLE
cITizEN"-WEATHERMAN SAYS
F NO ABATEMENT.

Extremely hot or cold weather al
ways brings about division of opin-
ions, l. e., nearly every one has his
idea Just about what the temperature
is and in nine cases out of ten he has
thermometer that is about as ac-
curate as the old-time Waterbury
watch and he win put this up against
any thermometer in his section Of the
country. Be that rs it may, the gov
ernment official thermometer at H,
! Glenn Fleming's greenhouse in West
FairmOnt registered yesterday after
noon between three and four O'Clock
Just 10S degrees fiat. But read furth.
er: A number of the most reliable
unofficial private thermom eters right
in the heart Of Fairmont showed from
1O4 toas high as 1OS degrees in the
shade In the middle OF. the afternoon.
1t isbelfeYed. that West FafElnont-ls Is
probably a little cooler tliatr on Nam
street in the neighborhood of the
court house and taking this into con-
sideratIOn 1t is thought that the aver.
age temperature for Fairmont proper
was about 106 degrees In the shade,
the hottest day in this city as far back
as the old citizens can recall. But
thanks 10 nature the winds arose dur
ing the afternoon. making 1t slightly
more "comfortable"-if such a word
may be used with impunity. 1t was q
typical Fourth OF July so far as the
weather was concerned, for It's ex-
pocted that the day would be warm,
and remarkable.t to state, it rained not,
this is indeed unusual at least there
is always shower on the Fourth.
1t appears that the hand OF pro-
lection has been laid upon Fairmont
during lhe extremely hot weather We
are now enjoying t?l for there has
not been a heat prostratlon reported,
and, compared with many other cit
les throughout the country there has
been comparatively little suffering; Of
course, NIL feel the effcts OF the In.
tense heat but with the exception Of
a few principally women
becoming slightly Ill by the heat,
everyone has. or rather is, passing
through the hot spell with ease.
Now comes forth the government
official weather "guesser" with head.
Quarters at Washington, saying that
he is unable to predict with certainty
Just when the hot weather will abatei
that he forecasts today to be almost
as warm as yesterday and Thursday
will continue to be hot-hot as it,has
been for the past several days. How
does that strike you? The God Of
Breeze has been at work all day In
Fairmont and 1t is the most welcome
thing TINT has visited this section for
a long while, and It is the hope of all
that 1t will continue until 'the hot
wave shall have passed away. 1t is
not likely that this day will be as hot
rs yesterday. owing to the gentle
winds that have been stirring and
which comes like a benediction after
prayer.

Yesterday was the first time in
many years that on the Fourth Of July
that the American flag did not float
from the Marion county court house.
- big temple of justice was con-
spicuous for the absence Of the Stars
and Stripes. Nearly every other
building on Main street was decorat-

There was enough breeze to, keep
the ensign floating. Had the flags
that are stored In the court house in
the vaults been placed In the staff
sockets that are,ou the windows for
them not a building in the city would
have shown up to better advantage
than the big one on the public square.
