The falling of snow is a novelty
rarely witnessed IN many Southern
,yxstes. Writing from Thomasville,
Georgia, Hon. II. H. Wells, who IS

heavy fall of snow, but which, of
course, soon disappeared again. But
he says it was quite a surprise to the
citizens.It was the first snow ever seen
by even some of the old people. The
latest snow fall, previous to this, oc-
CURED there about ten years ago, but
as that was during the night residents
did not have the pleasure of "seeing

4 horse race between ponies of
John Burnes' and J. W. Barrett's took
place on the highway near the race
course last Sunday afternoon. The
race was close and exciting, very
large gathering being present. The
race was claimed by Burns, his
pony leading in the last heat by less
than head length, but his right to the
stakes, twenty dollars, was disputed
on the ground that foul had been
committed by the rider of the for
Smer's pony, the claim being made
that he struck his opponents pony on
the head during the race, and IN this
condition it still stands, unsettled,
the stake holder still holding the
money.
