The great storm Of last week reused
great expectations among our citizens.
From talks with many persons We con
cludcd that there f. q sneakihg desire

ments. and they felt that there would
be biz Of heFoism 10 bFoasting a storm
like that, and not be bothered With
little Insignificant whifl of snow Or
a blast of comparatively mild Wind.
A. Tor them. give them a storm that
would bring their ears 20 a freezing
