Snow Storm

The worst snow.storm in several
years visited our section Of country
last Tuesday. Those who had
grown to believe that Highland
would not 60 back again to the
old fashioned sort have nothing
more to say, The snow began fall
ing abont day break and It amount
ed t. blizzard throughout the
twelve hours. At dusk the depth
was about Is inches on level, but
the "leyeI' was hard to find, as the
wind had been strong all day
and drifts were formed.
The mercury stood at something
like 80 degrees abose-not very
low mark for this altitude and
climate-but the binding snow
and wind made it very disagreeable
and business was virtually at o
stand. still.
The two points famed for drifts
Shepan doah and Allegheny, offered
the usual obstruction, and the
Stanton mail only came as far as
West Augusta on Tuesday, getting
through the drifts on Shenandoah
Wednesday morning BY aid OF
shoveling force from the two
points east and west.
The carrier bound for Barlow
made that point. but returned only
as far as Hull's. 1t will be severa
days before the regular hack SER
vice can be resumed on either line
Citizens of Monterey showed
commendable promptness in re-
moving snow from sidewalks, and
by 10 a. IN. Wednesday, the way
was clear and no one was reported
missing"
