Show at the Gayety Was Really a Mighty Good One.

Those who attended The Gayety last night and heard 'the musical number by Minetti & Rimondo pronounce it the best thing that has been at the airdome this year. They say that it has any 10-cent show that was ever given in this city outclassed. The team play the piano accordion and violin and their rendition of popular music proved such a hit that they were encored time and again and they responded most cheerfully. . ■-.<? The same team is at The Gayety again tonight and those who failed to see-and hear Minetti & Rimondo last evening will have another opportunity tonight.

Today is a scorcher again and corn is stiflering very much. Steve Comer has taken the pains to make an examination at several places in the county and estimates that at this time corn has suffered a 25 per cent damage over fee prospect of three or four weeks ago. Failure to rain within a week will result in a 50 per cent damage, some estimate. Sweetcorn patches in town have mafiy of them dried up without producing an ear of corti. The same condition exists, it is said, in the country quite generally. Several old stated to The Republican reporter that this is the dryest season they ever saw In Jasper county at this time of the year. Many remember the dry summer referred to by Trustee Parks, of Mflroy township. They say that the drouth this year began earlier and that the heat has been much more intense. Today the njercury stands at 92 in the shade and it is mighty uncomfortable.
