Awful storms in Mississippi,
Alabama aud other sections Of the
Southland in the past few days.
Many lives are reported lost. In
the northern section is a cold wave
aud heavy snow and hail in many
places. Here in Missouri il has
been chilly enough to stop the song
of the frogs, aud some folks have
had to get back into their winter
apparel again-but just so it does
not hurt the fruit prospect, that is
all that need worry us.
