Lowell Tribune: The last reminder of the auto races disappeared Friday when Howard Slocum pulled out the posts that supported the foot viaduct over Clark street near its intersection with Commercial avenue. The buns have been gone for some time. VThe barn on Charlie Bussell’s farm in Hanging Grove township was struck by lightning about 8 o’clock Thursday morning and his old family nag was killed. Another horse was stunned. The building did not take fire. The barn was full of hay and it is a miracle that it did not ignite- It was not badly torn up, either. The rain Thursday’ did not extend very far north of Rensselaer, and up in the north part of the county they are beginning to need rain now. In about Brook, we are told, there was considerable wind Thursday afternoon and considerable damage was done in the way- of its breaking down corn. Quite a good many trees were uprooted alsoEvery woman that cooks has experienced trouble with bad butter and eggs in warm weather. She need have no more embarrassment along these lines if she will but buy’ these products at the Home Grocery. There every egg is candled and guaranteed strictly fresh and “Meadow Gold” butter clean and cold pleases the palate of the most exacting. Try them this week. There may have been a hotter day some time in the dim and misty past than Wednesday, but, if in our time, we’ve forgotten about it. The heat seemed something terrible, and most people declared it to be the hottest day they ever saw. The mercury was up close to the 100 mark in the shade. A welcome rain came Thursday morning which relieved the pressure somewhat, and again in the afternoon we got a nice rain. South a few miles they had a tremendous big rain.
