ules and causing serious inconvenience
and discomfort TO travellers. The flakes
OF snow and particles Of sand mingled
and were driven across the prairies at
"A terrible speed by the gale which blew
necessarily for two days. There was
no loss of human life because the
storm was not accompanied by the
usual degree of cold, but many cattle
and horses in Western Kansas are re-
ported to have been suifoCated by the
whirling clouds of sand.
The sand and snow filled up the rail-
road cuts and buried the track. The
snow melted n the san settled down
In a hard, unyielding mass. Rotary
snow plows and all the modern mechan-
zeal appliances for the battling with
snow drifts were useless against this
new enemy. and the railroad companies
were compelled to engage men with
picks and shovels to remove the sand
from the track. The work was begun
while the gale was still in progress and
the suffering of the workmen is said to
have been intense.

bility of the scheme was supported 10y
many facts. II was proved that an
inland sea had covered in ancient
times the area which it was intended
TO food. The level of the land was
generally below that Of the gulf of
Gabcs. lnnumcrahlc underground

Mrs. Lydia Saunders called on friends
in the place recently, on her way to visit
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. r. L. Sickle.
Your correspondent is in receipt of a
letter from Sidney Rouse, living at Otse-
go, Michigan, his father having moved
his family from this town nearly fifty
years ago. Mr. Rouse Sr., died at the age
of So, having lived until about four years
ago. Mrs. Rouse died about twelve
years ago. aged Is years. hlOnzo, the
youngest brother, was wounded in the
late Rebellion, dying in Georgia. Only
two of the family are living; Mary, liv
ing in Kalamazoo, and Sidney, who is
florist in rhe place mentioned above. He
was soldier in the late war, also re-
ceivipg wound in his shoulder. He
spent most of his time at New Orleans.
His company was stationed at Port Hud-
son, Baton Rouge and Fort Morgan,
Ala. He writes that Mrs. Stephen Or
cutt, former resident of this town, is
living with her son, Elon, in the same
town. Mr. Rouse is 65 years old. He
hopes to visit old SALISBURY once more
and wanted to be remembered to old
friends. Edgar Galusha lives about fif-
teen miles from them. He sees him
quite often as they visit Mrs. Samuel
Cross, another old resident of Shafts
bury.
Miss Jessie Wright, of Manchester is
visiting her sister, Mrs. c. j. Barton.
Mrs. Emma (Wheeler) Smith left for
her home on Wednesday of this week.
Miss Susie Belden spent Thanksgiving
with her parents in Danby.

there. They send off a dozen carloads
in all. Judging from indications of the
am cunt that will be expended in the
cities for holiday festivities, the country
is prospering even with democratic
president!
It is of no account, perhaps, but it
NAV be interesting to know that calen-
dars and almanacs of 1889 from the first
of March are identical with those of '95
so far as the days OF the months are con-
cerued.
There has been some skating on thin
ice and no drowning casualties to re-
port! Keep off from the ice.
Thanksgiving was more than usually
observed. S. NJ. Bowles read Gov.
Woodbury's proclamation at the Union
church Sunday morning. Already prep
arations for Christmas entertainment
have begun.
The pebbles in the way bother the feet
more than do the rocks. So the petty
daily trials test faith and patience more
severely than do great trials.
A. W. Hagar has been in town from
West Dover in pursuit of men and teams
to work on his lumber job. ''Anse"
says he is ''pusher."
Mrs. J. F. Smith has ''geranium
tree" filled with rare white blossoms.
None can be more beautiful.
James Commerford has been in town
this week.
Mr.. and Mrs. F. A. Gleason entertained
relatives from Wilmington Thanksgiving
day.
Stephen Shipper was quite badly hurt
on the head while working III the woods.
To, say the least O. w. Perkins letter
| in Tuesdays BANNER was amusing.
| Suppose your correspondent did say
| that it was worth three cents pound to
pull the greens. Others say the same,
| and some say folr cents is not too much.
Our item heretofore published which
Mr.. Perkins alludes to, and evidently is
| the sole cause of his 'rile" and vi
tuperation, suggested only that ON
sownsmen were selling their trees too
! cheap. We say so now. and apparently
| forth with the admonition will be needed.
! We say nothing about greens" Fol-
twenty-five yeass we have advertised fol-
the welfare of WoodfOrd and its people
and have no disposition to stop now.
| The truth is Mr.. Perkins was playing
puns" when he wrote his ''little piece,
perhaps he wrote it just for greens" il
