The Blizzard.

The Blizzard.
One of the worst blizzards that
ever held Missouri in its frigid
grasp began at an early hour
Friday morning and continued
throughout the remainder of the
night and all that day.
The wind blew a terrific gale
for about 48 hours and during
the first "a was accompanied by
a binding snowstorm, the snow
drifting into great heaps on
many of the public highways,
and making travel by private
conveyance an impossibility.
The rural mail service all over
the county, 80 far as we have
heard, was put out of commission.
In keytesville, Luther P.Cone's
photograph gallery was moved
from it's foundation four or five
feet south and partly over the
sidewalk. Several sections of
the corrugated iron siding were
blown from T. j. Shaughnessy e.

T about the street, but no one was
l.. hurt by any of the flying pieces.
Alarge cedartree was blown down
v in Mrs. Narcissa Rucker's yard
and over the fence out into the
. road.
t More or less damage was done
to telephone wires and poles
. throughout the county.

you will find these words: "These
