AMERICUS IS STILL
ICED BY BLIZZARD
Cold Stricken and Freezing
Harder.
PROMISE OF SNOW FAVORABLE
Floods of Past Three Days Followed
BY Solid Freezing Yesterday
Slight Fall of Snow and sleet in the
City During the Day.

Americas was struck fore and aft,
port side and starboard, right and left
flank and decidedly below the belt
yesterday by the most robust blizzard
yet p'ucked from tie snow capped
peaks of the Rocky Mountains and
hurled over in this direction.
Aud the blow not only killed father,
but upset mother and CONCEALED the
children in bunch.
Coming upon the finale of three
days of flood 1t was like swapping the
devil for the witch, and it was o mat
ter CT debate as to which was the
worst, the floods or the blizzard.
A terrific thunderstorm and rain
storm, accompanied by vivid light
ming, swept over the city and section
Monday morning, following an Inces-
SAINT downpour of two days preceding.
All Saturday and Sunday the rain
poured down IN torrents.
And upon the top of this came blast
from Iceland yesterday.
By 10 O'Clock yesterday morning the
temperature fell below the freezing
point, and at noon ice was plentiful
about the streets. Some sleet and a
few feathery flakes OF snow in the af-
ternoon added variety to the huge
tragedy, and to the general discom-
fture here.
Rain coats and mud ''galoshes
were laid aside for ulsters, muflers
and tomandj erries.
Again the wood and coal yards were
overwhelmed with hurry orders, as
the slim supply in the homes of citi-
zens had been consumed during Sat-
urday and Sunday.
Every indication in the afternoon
was for heavy fall of snow last night,
and if the face of the earth is not shut
out from view by 'the beautiful" this
morning golden opportunity will
have been lost.
And this in "Sunny, Southern Geor
gia." Bah! Let us so to Iceland for
comfort until the winter season in
Americas il ended.

AMERICUS is SURE
TO GET Valentine,
Small Boy Will Honor Old
Saint.
MAILS CROWDED THIS MORNING
IoVe-Smitten Youths; Gay Youngsters
and Sour Spiteful Splnsters VIII
Take Advantage of This Occasion
to Play for Even.

Americus Will, as usual, get her VAL
entine habits on this morning and
crowd the mails with missives of vari-
Gus huee, texts and tenor. The small
boy, especially, will be In his element
and make life a burden for victims of

The bookstores here had ruah yes.
ierday in preparation for the event to-
day, and this afteroon the postman will
grosn bsneath an additional burden in
making his rounds.
But it is St. Valentines day, and
''eyery hing goes" as usual.
ST. Valentine is the patron saint of
lovers aud the custom of declaring and
avowing sentiment in lyric verse en-
his day has been handed down from
the middle ages, when a great deal
more attention was paid to holidays OF
this kind than is now.
But still the day is parennially pop
ular for the lads and Iassles of every
generation; all have way of falling in
love now aud then and somehow there
is no balm for love- burdened heart
like that of sending endearing verses
to the adored one.
In recent years the sentimental side
of the day has been somewhat oyer
Swallowed by the pranks also associa-
ted with the memory of Valentine,
who must have been merry, droll sort
of fellow. The day now belongs
more to the small boy, on mischief
bent, than to loYe-lorn youths.
The comic valentine is much more
feature of the day than the dainty card
with sentimental verses beneath arrow
pierced hearts, and these "comics" will
be largely in evidences today.
