MILLBORO, JAN. 3d.--We are having
cold weather just now, the thermometer
yesterday morning was 24o below zero at
7:30 a. M, the night before it stood at 10
below, at 1890. This morning it Was 100 be-
low, at 1876 which indicates that the worst
of it is past.
We had heavy fall of snow on Dec.
Goth, the depth Of which has not been
agreed upon by any two persons at Mill
borO, but think it was not less than 20
| inches, inside which time there have been
three others added; with these additions
and with cloudy and cold weather it is
| about as deep now as 1t was on the morn
ing of the 21st; fortunately it has not drift
ted. Up to this time there has been moth
ing done toward wagoning since the first
snow, but now tnat Christmas has passed
and new year come in, hope things will
take change for the better.
Our village is now active about building
Presbyterian church. Plans and speci
fications are now being drawn for
''Gothic" building 33x5O feet, to cost some
thing over 81 200. Your Staunton build
ers will have an opportunity OF bidding
on it.; 1t is expected to be completed by
spring, then Millboro will boast of good
church which will be very great addi-
ton to the place; its capacity will be about
three hundred people and not be crowded.
There will be built by spring a store house
20x4O feet, above which will be hall the
same size, which will be used as Masonic
hall and as ball room during the summer
months. so you see we are progressing
some. When the church is completed Mr..
Yarbrough will convert the hall that is
being used at this time as chapel and
Sunday school room, into furniture roo n
which will give him ample room for that
business. Il
