AZ the recent republican conventio

At the recent republican convention
in Ohio the eagle, king of birds, was
selected as the distinguished symbol for
the ticket In the coming state election.
At the still more recent democratic
convention the strutting cock was
chosen as the emblem, and thus under
the provisions Of the Australian vot-
ing law the two tickets will'be distin
ruished from each other-on the one
side the rooster and the barnyard; on
the other the bird of Jove and the
starry flag.

Bulletin No. says; The season has
has retarded by the unfavorable weather
conditions OF the past week: From the
3rd to the 9Th severe frosts occurred in
all portions of the state, with minimum
temperatures ranging between 19o and
$50 on those dates. forming ice from
one-fourth of an inch to an inch IN
thickness. The freeze damaged fruit
prospects. the cranberry crop, tobacco
and tender vegetation slightly, but no
material injury is reported to winter
grains, pastures, or the spring sown
grain already up. The dry condition of
the atmosphere during this cold snap
saved the crops. for with the moist at
mosphere and similar temperatures SER
ious damages would doubtless have re-
suited. Again, the smoky condition of
the atmosphere from the central part of
the State north had an effect to preserve
the crops and vegetation, protecting
them from serious damage by the frosts.
