The recent cold snap was quite gener-
al throughout this section of the country
and the effects of Jack Frost's first visit
have been noticeable, this week, in the
blackening of the leaves of the grape,
pumpkin, and more tender vines. His
appearance is generally felt first on low
lands, but this year be was no respecter
of places but treated all alike. Another
warm wave followed the cold snap and
as the frost was not severe enough to
open the chestnut burrs, the good little
boy can preserve his good reputation for
a while longer, and will not have to play
"hooky''to go chestnuting just yet.

Rev William Morrell and son left town
on Monday morning, en- route for the

make two weeks sojourn in the big

The writer once asked him if he ever had
fit of buck fever while on one of his
hunting expeditions. He said, 81 lost
my first chance to kill deer with that
complaint" Rev Mr. Morrell has gotten
over the buck fever and is not troubled
with hay fever, for the fevers are equally
disastrous in deer hunt; with the for
mer the hunter forgets to shoot at the
right moment, with the latter he is sure
to sneeze. Everything else being favor
able we shall expect to hear a good re-
port of his skill and good luck when he
returns home,
