The Beautiful Snow

The first snow Of the season
began to fall Saturday afternoon
and continued until far into the
night. Sunday morning the
ground was robed in whiteness to
the depth of about three in
ches.
For some days past we have
been subjected to wintry weather.
Thanksgiving Day was decidedly
raw, and that night the thermome-
ter fell to 10 or II degrees. Ice
formed on the river but was not
thick. On Saturday skaters en-
joyed fine sport on the ponds.
The cold spell seems to be quite
general and much suffering is re-
ported from the cities. Charitable
institutions, however, and kindly
disposed men and women do much
to relieve the distress of the UNI
Monday night the government
thermometer at Prof. II. ID. Camp
bells registered three degrees
above zero, which is the coolest
weather for several winters. To-
day the ice on North river is three
inches thick, and II fine harvest
will be gathered.

How Thanksgiving Day Was
Spent

Thanksgiving Day was quite
generally observed in Lexington
last Thursday. The stores, banks,
postoflice and business houses were
closed and the schools had sus-
pension. Everybody seemed to en-
joy the holiday. On account of
the high price Of turkeys not so
many people as usual enjoyed the
national fowl.
Union Thanksgiving services
were held i'll the morning at the
Baptist church, and large crowd
was in attendance. The sermon
was preached by the pastor, Rev.
DR.. Charles Manly. He was as
sisted by Rev. DR.. Il. j. McBryde
of the Episcopal church, Rev. j.
II. Light Of the Methodist church
and Rev. DR.. Thornton Whaling of
the Presbyterian church. An Of
fering was taken for the poor,
amounting to 1922, which was
among the four churches
in the services.
A number Of sportsmen took oc-
rasion to enjoy the day with dog
and gun, while others spent the
holiday quietly at home.

Cold Weather

Tine weather for the past two
weeks has been abnormally cold
for November, which is not con
sldered winter month. Several
mornings shivering humanity was
reminded of mid-winter, ice formed
on inactive water, and the ground
was frozen hard. There is much
anxiety as to the fate of the young
clover, which up to this time
looked exceedingly promising.
Cold weather exists all over the
United States at this tim. In
Wyoming the newspapers estimate
that at least $4,000 sheep persisted
last week from exposure to the
rough weather.
1t has been an unusual occur
renee for snow to fall in Rocbridpe
during the month of November.
but reference to diary of an
"observation" man shows that
three inches fell on November 26.
1898, and four and one-half inches
in 1891. In 1891, 1895 and 1896
there was only sli : Int traces, none
in 1897 and 1899, IA trace in 1901. !
and none last year.
"The poor We have with you
always" is divine Injunction. |

and the other discomfol t. 0f

this time when they are UMPIRE

and commend themselves to the
thoughtful consideration Of the

done by a number of ladies Of
Lexington, is encouraging, as in.
dicated by the report of the
treasurer, which report was made
last Thursday at the BAPTIST
church at the conclusion Of the
Thanksgiving services. Quite a
number OF ladies who are interested
in the work remained.
The treasurer reported falling
off of more than 500 from last
years contributions, but as there
was a surplus in the treasury at
the beginning of the year, April
lst, there will be no doubt about
meeting the running expenses for
this year.
There have been some contribu-
tons expressly for use among the
poor. This fund is handled with
the utmost care, the policy Of
those in charge being to encourage
self-help and spirit of indepen-
dence. There is much encourage
ment in this line Of the work as
attested by the ladies generally
who miss the frequent applica-
tions for help that at one time
were the order Of the day. There
are cases however from time to
time when it is very necessary to
end IA hand. This fund therefore
5 very important adjunct to the
general work, and special thanks
are due to those who have remem-
)ered it.
The day school has not been
quite as full as last year, but there
AVE been reasons to account for
bis, mumps and whooping-cough
icing prevalent, and the fall work
.eeps many Of the older children
way from school until near
christmas. The Industrial feat
re of the school is much appre-
lated, and the girls are learning |
sew neatly. A class in basket c
taking has been started for the
oys this session. So on the
hole the work is very encourage
lg and well worthy we think of ,
he continued interest and support !,
f our people.
