Some Cute Sayings of Haynes, Hardy

Don'tread faster than you think.
 The description of the land is the kernel of deed
 When you can't read your "ti- tleso clear. get us to help you.
 Find the fault in thy title before thine enemy, lest he take thee una wares.
 A lawsuit is bad property at any price. Don't buy 'em.
 Before you unrest get us to nrest- i-gate.
 Deeds, not hours, are the meas ures of life.
 Deeds, not ours, are the causes of strife.
 Look eren t,otes before you leap, in land trade and get Us to look one of the ttu.-a.

TEMPERATURE DROPS
 20 DEGREES IN 5 HOURS
Rain Followed by Cold and Clearing Skies-SnoW In North
 Alabama.

Fair and colder was the prediction sent out last night by the weather prophet, and he guessed right the very first time. In five hours last night the thermometer dropped 20 degrees-from B at o'clock to 34 shortly after midnight. and it was still on the downward path.
 A brisk wind arose, driving the clouds in front of 1t, leaving the skies fair but not claar The heavy rain which fell un- til after 10 o'clock then changed into snow, which fell for a short time.
 A still higher wind sprung up after midnight, carrying the clouds across the skies at a great rate It did little damage in the city, as everything was pretty well protected. Many of the awnings were raised and the rest were cared for by the policemen.
 Rain fell in large quantities yesterday from about noon. Until that time the wind and dust were the principal factors in the weather makeup From about 2 o'clock until 62 of an inch of rain fell and after that time twice that much Is estimated to have come down. In north ern Alabama snow fell all during the night.
