A cold wave struck this section last
Sunday evening, and since then We have
had some of the coolest weather we have
experienced this winter. There was Sc
we're freeze aud heavy white frost Mon
day morning. and it Is the general opiu-
ion that all the fruit and early vegetables
have been killed. The small grain crop,
too, is seriously damaged. The severe
weather started in the Northwest ten days
ago, with terrible snow storm, which
continued for three days without ceasing,
Snow also fell In the Blue Ridge Noun
ported from all over the country. In
Florida the orange crop Is damaged, and
the truck farms and watermelon crop of
Southwest Georgia have been ruined. In
the lower sections of this State the same
condition exists and thousands of dollars
will be lost. The strawberry crop was
just ripening, and 1t Ia ruined. This
wednesday, morning We had another
big frost and freeze, and the early gar
deners look as blue as their beets, peas,
corn and other truck.
In q private letter from Mr., A. o. Nor.

citizen of Graham, Texas, we take the fol-
lowing paragraph: "a few days ago had
the pleasure of bearing Mr.. W. L. Grubbs
INTELLIaENcER under the heading "a
Letter from the Front" by Prof. W. A.
Dickson, who found it in some old war
papers. For the benefit of Mr.. Grubb's
many old friends, you may say that he
lives in this (Young) County, near Gra-
ham, surrounded by nearly all of his chill
dren. He Owls good farm, and has
that same energy and zeal about him that
made him such good soldier. One of
his sons.in-law is son of another one of
| Anderson County's good men, Jonathan
Harrison. Mr.. Grubbs tells me that the
sword presented to him by the ladies of
Virginia was left at the home of his
brother.in- law, Mr.. o. H. P. FAINT, who
was then citizen of Anderson, and was
taken from there by the raiders who
raided Anderson on the lat of May, 1865.
Mr.. Grubbs holds his own remarkably
well, but, like most men of his age. shows

of the old letter as we'll as the compliment

sparkled as be read the old letter, which.

scenes which surrounded him at the time
