Two Feet Deep South OF Hunts
VIVA
NOT SINCE 1914


NOT sINcE 1914
The "vsritable eldest" has informed
US c~on6dentially. that this is the deepest
fa | OF snow known in this section aimee
1914, AID we are s~now.bound from al
authority from which to give a contradic
ton. There has been a heavy snow
storm all through the northwest and in
the southern region, reachinEfrom Louis
vile to Montgomery. The depth at this
point was thirteen inches on an open
level. Trains have been snow.bound
from everysdireetion, and Northern peo-
pie who came South for the winter are
wondering whether they had not taken
the wrong coach.
Oar city police endeavored to check
tina playful spirits of the boys who were
engaged in a~now-bslling on the Square,
aid got a good wallowing for their good
humored pains.
In some attitudes, south Of HUNTSVILLE,
the depth Of snow IS reported al twenty
four inches. = Huntsville Independent,

SNOW CAPPED LOOKOUT.
Lookout Mountain presented a scene
yesterday and last night of much inter
est, During the day the great mound
covered with snow seemed a thing Of
lilo. bold and defiant. The few fitting
clouds only lent euchantment by giving
variety to the scene. At night his white
face, by the light of a full moon, gave
the Appearances of a capable, faithful
sentinel. We can well claim Lookout
Mountain as an enduring ornament to
Chattanooga Chattanooga Times.
IN EAST TENNESSEE.
The storm which began Sunday night
st midnight, and attended strictly to
business until late Monday evening, has
proven one of the severest, heaviest aud
most extensive III the area of country it
covered of any within the memory of
that numerous person, the Oldest inhab-
liant. In Knoxville it lies fourteen
inches, on an average, upon the level.
No such embargo has been laid on bust
ness, BY the same master, since business
was done in this quarter. Transactions
Of sill kinds, except such IS are abso-
lutely necessary to human existence and
the commonest comforts, are unknown
and have been for some days past.
The effect on the railway lines has
been quite as marked az could be ex-
pected Of the storms we have read about
but never before saw so nearly dupli-
Gated, which cover the plains aud Gil .the
canyons Of the Northwest Yesterday
was the first regular connection made
with Bristol and Chattanooga since Sat.
urday. The line between these two
points ia all clear now, and trains will
hereafter run regularly.
AT Chattanooga the fall was heavier,
and it now lies there twenty inches deep
Up to noon yesterday the Memphis and
Charleston railroad had made no con
n%ection at Chattanooga from the west
since Saturday. The Nashville and
Chattanooga line is all right, aud made
its regular connection at Chattanooga
yesterday. The Western and Atlantic
has not missed any connections.
Beyond Bristol we hear the mountain
cuts are full Of snow, and it will be a day
or two before regular connections at
Bristol will be resumed. KnorriHe
