there is something colder in this world than
charity. The temperature at this place on
the 9Th fell two degrees below zero and five
below on the llth. Mems breath froze as
they breathed and their noustaches were
fringed with icicles. Ponds and branches
were frozen over, and wherever water was
left in vessels in the most comfortable hous-
es, as the little prattler would say at went
fast to sleep. Flowers and plants turned
up their petals and died in their hot houses
for the want Of warmer protection. The
oldest inhabitant had to dig down among
the rubbish of his memory to think of
colder spell in this section. May we not
have the like again in century
With the temperature degrees below
zero, Monday morning at this place and a
glacial gale blowing at a terrible rate, the
fire bell rang out an alarm 1t was soon
discovered that of the large amount of cot
ton bales stored on the platform at Winters
u Legg's warehouse, fronting the railroad
depot, some "a bales were in a blaze.
These were tumbled off the platform to the
ground, to keep the fire from communica-
ting to other bales. The fire department
responded promptly as possible and threw
water on the burning cotton and saved
good deal of it. 1t was cold work and the
water would freeze soon after striking the
bales. The cotton caught from sparks from
a passing engine. Messrs Winters & Legg
have some insurance on the burned bales
but will have % share the loss.

The severity of the weather caused poor
and needy people to suffer great deal
Mr. Wldtlock and the guests of the Whit

the relief Of the needy of the community
which was distributed to the best advantage.
| The city council aided in the matter, by
getting up additional contributions from
our citizens, and also by sending out the
marshal, sexton and street boss as a com
mittee to ferret out those in distress and
want Some twenty families were relieved.
| Col. Faw was active in doing what he could.
The kindly act of the strangers and the gen
crosby of our citizens deserve unstnted
praise 1t is very important that com
mittee of relief should be kept on the alert
such trying weather that no one be allowed
to suffer for food or fuel

our city authorities to take some action in
