A December Blizzard.

"Rain or snow tonight and Friday" was
the prediction sent by the Weather Bureau to
this office at 10 a. M, December4. The day
was cloudy with a raw, penetrating northeast
wind prevailing. Shortly after I p. M rain
began to fall, and by o'clock there was hail
and snow. As the night progressed the storm
increased in strength, the wind shifting to the
north, driving the snow with great force
against residences, almost covering the glass
in the windows. In many places the snow
was drifted into great piles, while the roads
Al, streets were bare at other points. All in
ali ii is the worst storm ever known in this
section, at this time of the year, in the memory
of the oldest citizen. The snow ceased falling
at 11.20 a. M, on the 9th, and was at least
six inches deep. Clearing weather followed.
