exception of the few days in November
The Thermometer stood about 6S during
the latter part of last week and Sunday
Monday it began to rain and grow colder
and Tuesday the Thermometer dropped
to 20 above. You may not think q
above zero ought to freeze anyone, but
it does down'in Alabama.
Intense excitement was caused In camr

home and the soldiers are returning
none too soon. The old maids have just
held convention, it seems to decide
upon some cause of action and we notice
