Mr. EDIToR:-We are having lots of
sleighing just now. On Sunday evening
it began to snow very fast and continued
until in the night. About four inches
of "the beautiful" fell. The snow we
had last week was blown into the roads,
blocking travel until they were opened.
Some of the roads are yet impossible.
Very cold weather during the past week
has kept the sleighing in first-class con-
dition. On Sunday morning the mer-
curry fell to loo its lowest point reached
during the season. The temperature mas
raised from zero to ten nearly all of last
week.
Mr.. d. X. Hoy is very seriously ill.
He has been confined to his bed for
some time now.
Mrs. Samuel II. Jarrett has been quite
sick for couple of weeks and is in charge
of DR.. Muftley. Her husband is still
confined to his bed yet.
Considerable sickness is prevailing in
the neighborhood, in the shape of colds,
etc. 1t seems to be an epidemic.
S. N. Williamson, the butcher of Tur-
botville. is sporting new team of iron
greys, bought at a horse sale at Watson
town, week or ten days ago.
The wind on Tuesday drifted the roads
again considerably. Last week the sup
ervisors had to open the roads running

wire fences on both sides and no high
banks there was very little shoveling
necessary. From this fact it is argued
that it would pay the townships to furn-
ish the necessary fencing to put up along
the main roads as the cost of opening the
roads ono or two years would be sufi-
cient to do this and save both money and
hard work
1t will soon be time to choose the men
who are to manage the affairs of our
township and boroughs. 1t behooves
every good citizen to see that the best
men are chosen for these places. 1t is
director or supervisor. These officers
come closer to the citizen than any Others
for they have charge of our home affairs
and spend the money we pay in direct
taxes. 1t may be that every man elected
intends to do his best to discharge his
duties, but often he lacks the natura
ability to do so. 1t is unfortunate thai
many of the best qualified absolutely

not strange either for when an officer
does his duty to get no thanks for it bu
often undeserved blame.
The regular monthly meeting of the
teachers of the Limestone TOWNSHIP
schools was held at Snyder's school
