THURSDAY was, a bitter cold day. The
wind was blowing regular blizzard, pen.
etrating and cutting, until one opposed tc
it was made dizzy. With this condition
OF weather, the fire bell ramp and the fire
department turned out. 1t was stated that
the house Of M Ed Frey was on fire.
Away the crowd went splitting the wind
until their ears were red and their bodies
chilled. Smoke was seen creeping out
from under the shingles Of the roof around
the west end chimney. AS fast as the
workers would pour water on the roof it
would turn to ice and en1anger ones
standing on the roof. The Hook and
Ladder boys cut hole ia the ceiling of
the room, but no fire was discovered. The
smoke had crept through a crevice Of
the brick chimney and gave the appear
ance of the house being on fire. Plenty of
water was thrown on, and the house was
left in damaged condition. The fire
engine steamed up and exercised the
firemen little, but was pulled back ready
for another occasion when the need would
be more urgent and pressing.

The weather last week was almost un|
precedented throughout the country, il
England as well as in the United States
Land aud sea have been swept with
terrific gales, snow and ice, and much suf
fering was the result. Even the sunny
South was severely touched with the icy
breath Of the frozen North aud the Their
monet on Friday morning dropped t.
zero. Business was almost at standstill
The Kennesnw Marble Mills at this plac
had to suspend operations for the time be
ing, as the water used on the gang saw
and polishing beds turned to ice almost a
fast as it was tnrned on. This has beel
the severest winter the South has expert
enced in many years. We will all vel
come the balmy warmth of spring an
sweet scented violets with good deal O
cordially. Come. gentle spring, come
aud breathe thy warm breath upon GU
chilled atmosphere. We've had a sdrfe
of cold weather. We know when we hav

Monday morning when our denizens 90
| out OF their comfortable beds and looked
out doors, they found that old mother
earth was covered with snow. The feecy
flakes continued to come down nearly all
OF Monday and to some extent on Tuesday
until the ground was mantled with snow
to the depth Of five inches. There wa:
snow balling and merry laughter, and the
jingling of sleigh-bells, as the sleiehs scud,
ded over the surface OF the beautiful snow
The sunny south became the snowy south
and gave to our people q, taste of what the
north and northwest have to endure every
winter. A heavy snow, it is said, is con.
ducive Of good wheat crops. SO mote II
