from Brunswick yesterday morning,
which said that frost and ice had both
made their appearance there, causing
general re oicing.
GETTING WARMER AGAIN.
1t is getting warmer in the Mississippi
and Missouri valleys, in Ohio and in the
lake region. The cause of this is the
movement of the area of low pressure to
Southern Minnesota causing an attraction
for southern winds. The consequence is
that there are no more cold waves NOV
ing this way and it is getting warmer
along the South Atlantic and East Gulf
states. The cold wave that came over
a day or two ago, however, is still central
in the central and southern part of
Georgia and according to predictions was
to have caused white frosts throughout
this section during last night and this
morning.
From this morning the cold wave will
recede and will be followed by warmer
temperature. During Wednesday night
the temperature fell to or below freezing
point at Augusta. Atlanta, Montgomery,
Florence, S. G. and places as far south as
Cordele, Albany, Americas, Balm bridge,
Quitman and Thomasville. The lowest
temperature was in the Savannah dis
trict, occurring at Cordele and Millen
The minimum temperature at Savannah
was 1873, and black frost or ice was
formed here Fair weather prevailed
throughout the cotton belt yesterday
Early risers this morning may see the
white frosts which are promised followed
