They declared that it was caused by diver sion among their leading statesman, neglect of the army which was under incompetent commanders, ambition of their rules, etc., but the real cause of their destruction was their own sin and a departure from God and his teaching. The same cause that brought about the destruction of the Israelitith Kingdom are at work in our own na- tion. The safety of the nation rests with the individuals who compose it. When the people are bad we may ex pect wicked rulers and "and when the wicked reign the people mourn."

VOLUME 25. NO. 61 Heat Waves and Storm. The warm weather reached here last Sunday and the atmosphere has been very dense and of a suffocating fierce ness off and on ever since. The cause of the sudden heat wave has hppn hinted at in various ways, but it has been suggested in a scientific sense that the rains of last week saturated the earth and gave cause for the warmth therein to respond to the warmth of the sun and thus produce a result of heat coming from both above and below. On Tuesday even ing a heaw cloud gathered in the northwest and the thunders muttered m a menacing tones. As the forerun ners of the cloud spread low over Ox ford there came a gust of wind which seemed to verify the conclusion that a terrific storm was approaching. The wind had little mercy on anything that was loose, and for one time during the summer the streets were swept clean of dust while pedestrians were blinded as they hurried to shelter. The rain fall for half an hour was attended by severe blows, but no damage was done in town. It was evident that the storm had spent its major force before arriving. A number of trees were up rooted in the Cornwall section and all the way northwest to the Virginia line. Fruit trees were somewhat damaged, but crops escaped injury. Howard-Daniel Marriage.
