There was quite sudden chang
in the weather here Tuesday night
Tuesday was rather a spling like da,
in temperature, with considerable cleo
trlcal disturbances and variable wind
and clouds. A regular hlizzrrd fror
the northwest reached us after night
the thermometer dropped below tn
freezing point and some snow fell ahnu
midnight. Old Sol crawled over tn
mountain Wednesday morning, how
ever, with smile as broad as the con
tinent, and careered grandly throug
heavens that were clOudless for at leas
one whole day.

majority of them are thrifty, energeti
farmers. and thoroughly understan
the theory and practice Of making tn
land blossom as the rOse." Ware
county has sufficient attractions to il
duce many of them to settle mere, All
their coming is simply matter {
time, hut the movement might be col
siderably accelerated by a little effo
on the part of our citizens.
