Those citizens who heard Secretary Adj

weeks ago will perhaps be glad to be re-
minded that the school meeting occurs next

The record of another snow storm on
S.urlav and Sunday last is worthy a place
,,,onc the brief locals. More and heavier
NOW fell than at any previous storm during
,bs winter. and in some localities it drifted
,ro,sc than it has been known to for years ;
though we believe it was not generally such
drifting storm as We have had heretofore
rr,n fifteen to eighteen inches of snow fell
r, This vicinity and we see that in Montpe-
Tor and burlington it fell to the depth of
from twenty inches to f,rO feet. This little
latch of snowon top Of some four feet which
ue previously had will ensure us our "six
week $ Shedding in March" we think. As
the number and violence of our storms the
ory Of our worthy fellowcitizep, the "oldest
.,hahitant." we thought We would turn to
,be files of The Caiedonian and demonstrate
that such things are not without precedent
even after the middle Of March. On the
9th and 10Th days of March, 1919, we had
storm Of unusual magnitude. Only about
fourteen inches Of snow accumulated here, as
the ground was bare, and all the first part of
the storm melted as fast as it fell but in the
woods and on the high lands snow fell in
that storm to the depth of two feet.
We have heard Of no maple sugar being
made in this vicinity yet. Perhaps the su-
gr.makers have not yet got down to the bod
f., Of the trees.
Little Dollie Dutton held lcvees in In
on Hall in this place on Monday and Tues
DAY to large audiences. Dolle is a little
,pr.,r almost eleven years of age, but weighs
only fifteen pounds, and is only twenty-nine
inches tall. S he talks, sings, dances, and
does other things like children of her age,
and is really great curiosity.

rebcdom by his son who is in Gen Banks

some poor love-sick secesh, and the destitu-
ton of the article of paper in Dixie.
