The weather has been intensely
warm for several days. In fact,
the past three weeks, with one or
two slight intermissions, has been
hot, real hot. Monday and Mon
day night were the warmest yet
and comfort was out of the ques-
ton. Tuesday was just about as
warm but some breezes from the
south relieved the situation. 1t is
genuine summer time, sure
enough. Hard on man and beast
but fine for growing field and gar
den.
The death of Mr.. John S. Nor
man at limo, July 18th, was quite
sudden, the attending physicians
diagnosing his malady as acute
indigestion. On retiring the night
before his death he seemed to be
in his usual health, but in a couple
of hours he awoke, complaining of
acute pain in his stomach. In at
tempting to cross the room he fell,
heavily striking his head on a ia
bic, rendering him unconscious,
and he died at two o'clock in the
afternoon. John Norman was a
prince! A most genial, lovable,
affable character. His friends are
legion and long will he be remem-
bered and sincerely mourned.

Miss Leila O'Neal, formerly of
Ironton, but now Of st. Louis,
happened to some real, genuine
bad luck recently. On the day of
the big rain in st. Louisa week
ago last Saturday-Miss Leila was
leaving the city on her summer
vacation. Hell trunk was at the
station, and when that section of
the town was inundated by the
most unusual down-pour of rain
the trunk and contents got: soak
ing wet. Everything that the wa
ter could ruin was ruined. Just
too bad! For, you know, that
next to robbing a young lady of
her sweetheart, there's nothing
quite SO agonizing, as the ruthless
spoliation of her wardrobe. Miss
Leila will arrive in Ironton to-day
on a visit to valley friends.
