The Canton times. (Canton, Miss.) 1893-1906, 1895-02-15


terday, brought the intelligence that
the ground was covered with about
three inches of snow.
At 8 o'clock Pm. Thursday, Mr.. D.
O. Coob and Miss Addie Luckett were
married at the residence of Mrs. Cra-
tin, in Canton. 1t seems that Dan
took some of his most intimate friends
by surprise, and the TIMES wishes that
he himself may be still more greatly
surprised by the happy present, con-
trasted with the past, as we learn he
has secured a treasure.
Mr.. A. Karpe wishes to extend
thanks to the people for their prompt
and efficient efforts in assisting in pre-

the recent fire which consumed his
sons house adjoining his. The color

their efforts. AS result of the Incl

but through no fault of the people.

great in stature as some of his COMPETE
tors, but it is well to remember, "the
race not always to the swift, nor the
battle to the strong. He will make an
efficient clerk if elected
As we go to press the snow is fall
ing rapidly, and bids fair to give
us a good covering. Six inches is
about the maximum depth for this
section. The present is the most pro-
tracted cold spell ever known in this
latitude, having now prevailed for
more than week, without intermis-
sion, and from present limitations
there is no telling when an abatement
will come. 1t is better now, however,
than later, as it will retard the fruit
and give us crop of this delicious
food product. 1t will kill the insect
larvae that give SO much trouble to
the farmer. and it is hoped when it
does let up, work will proceed without
