The thunder cloud and heavy rain Monday afterrfoon reminded one ol the hot, mkb-summer season. The' brilliant display of electricity follow ed by heavy peals of thunder was more than a gentle reminder of the approach of hot weather.

Dr J I Neal was again appointed to vaccinate dogs in the county this year as a protection against hydrophobia, as was done last year It would be interesting to know how many people in the county complied with this law Iasi yeax by 'having their dog vaccinat ed. Several citizens of the county called on the board and made com. plaint about the dogs killing theii chickens anVl turkeys. If people are not willing to feed their dogs they ought not to have them.
