The ground hog is considered as a
bad prophet, as we have been having
the worst winter weather We have had
since the winter OF 1868 for the past
ten days. The thermometer registered
anywhere from 25 20 30 degrees below
zero and few of our thermsmete
froze entirely up. The trains are few
and far between and what few passen.
ger trains we have are pulled by three
and four moguls and then are running
from ten TO fifteen hours behind time.
1t is repor ted here that the weather
man has the grip and we need not ex.
pect better weather uRtil the change
Of the moon and the sun gets nearer
earth again.
