COLD WAVE STRUCK
 CITY WEDNESDAY
Rain and Hail Fell During the After. noon and the Wind Blew at a RaDid Gait-Rain General Throughout This Section.

Extremely cold weather, unprece- dented at this season of the year in this section, visited Pine Bluff We'd nesday afternoon and sent all local people back to their winter trunks
 for warmer wearing apparel. We'd
 nesday was the most disagreeable day
 experienced by Pine Bluffians for
 many years. Early in the afternoon
 It began raining and the rain increas- ed with the hours. Wind and hail ac- companied the rain at intervals and at o'clock the wind was so terrific as to make it dangerous for pedes- trians. Much rain fell during the day
 and the thermometer dropped to freezing point at o'clock last night and although the weather continued quite cold, before midnight the ther- mometer was rising again. It is ex- pected that warm weather will return today and that the day will be a clear one. If the sun comes out this morn ing and the unwelcome cold wave passes away, the Merry Widow hats and the baseball fans might then have another inning in this city. The rains Of yesterday were general throughout the Southern States. It fell all over Arkansas and reports from Oklahoma were to the effect that snow fell at various points there during the day. The recent heavy rains are expected to cause another rise of the Arkansas river.
