KNOW WHAT WINTER Is.
Georgians Treated to a Second Snow Be
fore the First One Nfelts.


Atlanta, Ca, Feb. 15-The worst snow
storm in the memory of the present gen
Grafton is now prevailing throughout
Georgia In Atlanta it has fallen
heavily since early morning and the
ground is now covered with five inches
of fresh snow on four inches of the
frozen remains of Sunday nights storm
The trolley car system is paralyzed
and practically no business is being
transacted. The streets are given over
to improvised sleighs and merry snow
balling parties, enjoying the unaccus-
toned sport Rose Coughlin's matinee
at the Grand opera house had to be
postponed.
At Darien tonight on the coast the
ground is covered with snow four inch
es deep This is the first time in the his
tory of this ancient town that such
thing has happened. Twenty years ago
there was a fall of snow but 1t was
done in two hours. There has never
been such a severe spell of weather as
has been experienced for the last Few
weeks. All the orange trees and early
ve;N tables are killed
Al Thomasville, the famous winter
resort, there was a three inch fall of
snow last night and sleigh bells are
ringing in the streets for the first time
in the history of the city.
At Ouitman, the first snow since 1873
fell last night, about SO inches. The
sight is a novel one to Quitman and
business is suspended while everybody
is enjoying snowballing.
At Buchanan, the snow and sleet
has stopped all saw mills, coaling and
other public works of the county. Far
,ners are behind with their work and
everything is at a standstill.
In Telfair county the heaviest snow
ever known in that section fell last
night to the depth of 8 inches and turn
ed into a fine sleet this morning. Cat
tie on the range are dying from the
effects of the protracted cold weather.
At Augusta two children, one white,
aged six months, and one colored. aged
nine months died last night from eX-
posture.

by some of the western lines for the
Grand Trunk, which they treated in a
shabby manner when the agreement
was in process of incubation. When
il looked as though war with the Ca
madam Pacific was inevitable there
was nothing too much for the western
lines to do for the Grand Trunk, Moth
ing too nice for them to say of it. Then
the Canadian Pacific made overtures
and the western lines tossed out the
Grand Trunk without an instant's de-
lay, telling IL in SO many words that Is
was not much of a railroad, anyhow.
Since that time the Grand Trunk has
overlooked nothing that may tend to
break UP the committee agreement and
the Canadian Pacific believes il is re-
ceiving active help in its efforts 10
secure Canadian Pacific business from
some committee lines which at this
late day are beginning to repent Of the
manner in which the Grand Trunk was
treated. There is the making of a beau
