L. C. MITCHELL DEAD
A Pioneer Os This Section Passed Away
Yesterday Afternoon.
HAD BEEN ILL FOR OYER SIX MONTHS
O le of the Beet Kuowi and Honored Citizen*
Os Roma, The Funeral Occurs
This As zernoon a’ 4=30, '
Another pioneer of this section has
passed away.
Yesterday evening at 6:20 the spirit of
Captain Lucius C. Mitchell passed up
the glorified way. His death occurred
at the home of his daughter, Mrs. E.
L. Bosworth, on Avenue A. Fourth
ward.
For six months he has been in very
feebly health, and during nearly all
that time was confined to his bed. He
was a patient sufferer, never complain
ing though he suffered much in the
past few weeks.
He faced death as he had faced life
bravely, unflinchingly and with a serene
knowledge that all would be well with
him. Surrounded by his wife, children,
sisters and relatives his soul slipped the
leash of earthly bondage and was up
lifted beyond the stars.
He wbs the son of Daniel R. Mitchell,
one of the founders of Rome. Capt,
Mitchell was in his 64th year, and was
probably known and honored as a gen
tleman of high and lofty character by
more people than any other one man in
this gcclion.
He leaves a wife, his second, and nine
children to mourn his loss. The children
are J. Walter, I) R, Luke C and Felton
Mitchell, Mrs. Ida Vandiver, Mrs. E L
Bosworth, Mrs H E Kelley, Mrs F M
Irwin and, Mrs W J May. Mrs II D Hill
and Mrs C F McCrary, of this city, were
sisters of the deceased.
Captain Mitchell had been a faith
ful, God-fearing member of the
Methodist church since boyhood. He
fought bravely for the South in the
civil war, |
The funeral will take place from
the residence of bis daughter, Mrs. E.
L. Bosworth this afternoon at 4:30
o’clock.
The following pallbearers are re
quested to meet at the Hanks Furni
ture company this-afternoon at 3:30
o’clock: J. D. Moore, E. B. Marshall,
A.B. S. Moseley, W. J. Griffin. R T.

The Herald from Valparaiso, Chili,
says: If the government does-not soon
take steps to better the condition of the
working classes throughout Ohili, there
will be a dark, despairing outlook in
store for them. The closure of engiu ■
eering establishments will cause others
to follow, with the result that more
than 1,000 workmen’s families are ex
posed to hunger. *l?here is a paralyza

JUNE’S AWFUL HEAT
The Hottest June on Record for a Gen
eration Except One.
AVERAGE TEMPERAIUIE WAS 79.
i
JulyH.s Started In a* Though It Meant to
Tetotally Smash All Recorda-Rsin
fall Way Behind.
The month of June just closed is the
hottest recorded in very many years with
the exception of 1800, when the mean
average for the month averaged about the
same as this.
The last several days of June the mer
cury made desperate attempts to climb
out the tap of the thermometer, and the
whole south suffered from the ’ fearful
heat. Mr. W. M. Towers, who keeps the
official record, was out of the city yester
day, and figures could not be obtained.
But it is safe to say that withn the recol
lection of the oldest ciiizen of Rome, such
a prolonged spell of intensely heated
weather has not been experienced.
J uly has started in as though she
means to smash all heat records ever
recorded. Thurday, the first, it
marked 98 here, and at Savannah the
mercury stood at 102 in the shade for
several hours. Chattanooga, too had
her hottest day, 97.8. Yesterday was
only a shade better, and the weather
forecaster holds out no hopes of im
mediate relief.
The average temperature for June
was 79 degrees, three in excess of any
recorded for a generrtion with the ex
ception June 1890,
The rainfall for the past two
months in this section is at least five
inches behind the average, and for
the year to date is away off. In Borne
sections of Floyd no rain has fallen
since the early part of April.
The rainfall during the past mouth
been below the normal. The average
for.June is 4.08 inches, but last month
the precipitation was only 2.07 inches,
which leaves a deficiency of 2.22 for
the month. The rainfall is still over
seven inches behind for this year.
The accumulated deficiency since
January Ist is 7,44 inches.
The weather conditions have not
changed since the last published re
port. The area of high pressure still
hovers over the gulf of Mexico, while
to the northward the barometric pres
sure steadily decreases r and centers'
in an area of low pressure over the
northwest and the western portion of
the lake region. These conditions
should cause the general movement
of the atmosphere to continue from a
southerly quarter, thereby giving no
immediate or decided relief from the
present warm spell.
There is a time for everything; and
the time to attend to a cold is when it
starts. Don’t wait till you have consump
tion, but prevent it by using One Minute
