a stay during the week. Friday the
worst blizzard of the season prevailed
nearly all day and left chilliness in the
atmosphere that has fingered ever since.

ground being SO frozen as to prevent
blowing. April about two thirds gone
and no seeding as yet.
The Royal Neighbors and their hus-
bands were entertained at the home OF
Mrs. Weetman Dickinson last Friday
evening. Despite the stormy night about
thirty were present and the hours were

con served after the games was relished
by all.

house were each given present last
Friday by the help employed there.

A new type of engine just turned
out of the Milwaukee shops was given
| try out on this division. Tuesday, haul
ing train No. |. It is one of the largest
compound type G locomotive, strong
| enough to haul the heaviest trains and
make schedule time. The p-culiarities
of No. 221 can be seen in many Of the
working parts that are exposed to view
| on the side instead of under the boiler
as in most of the other engines. For
this reason it has been dubbed the
''grasshopper" style.
Mr.. II. S. Raymond, who resides at
! Canton, Mo-, with his daughter, is visit

The early spring indications in March
brought the fruit trees out in full bloom,
the farmers had their grain all sown and
we're all ready for corn planting when
! the cold wave of Easter time swept down

thing. Ice formed nearly as far south
as Oklahoma, running the fruit prospects
in several of the middle western states.

nice surroundings.
