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.

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.
