The snow storm for which so many
have been anxiously waiting, arrived
Monday morning, and for Awhile the
snow appeared to be trying to make up
for lost time. During the afternoon,
however, 1t cleared Of, leaving Just
snow enough to make good sleighing In
the village; but along the country roads
there are huge drifts in many places,
while In others the snow has all blown
of, leaving the road bare. About an
inch Of damp snow at this time would
leave the roads In good shape and make
business lively.
