THE WINTER.

That is Just what we have been
having tho last few days, in dead
earnest.
The storm began in this locality
Sunday morning though it had
begun to grow colder Saturday
evening.
Sunday was gloomy disagreeable
day with a strong northwest wind
and snow in the air most of the
time. Snow and sleet alternated
for a couple of days till the ground
was covered with several inches OF
Ice and Stow and the sleigh bells
began to ring out their merry peals.
Monday morning the mercury stood
8 above and Tuesday S above.
Tuesday the sun came out bright
and the snow began to soften.
The storm was general through
out the Mississippi valley and ex-
tending down through Oklahoma
and Texas. In fact goodly por-
ton of the United States seemed to
be struck.
In come portions the cold was
intense accompanied by a heavy
snow.
Arkansas City, Kans., reports
zero weather and considerable snow.
Portions of western Kansas were
buried under a 10 to IL inch 6an-
ket. Most ofEllinois is covered by
a foet of snow.
THE sleet played havoc with tsle-
graph and telephone lines "a many
places. Railroad traffic in the
north and Korthwest wac entirely
cut oft by the drifting snow.
I'm many pisces it was the worst
storm of theseason, but as usual,
this favored locality came off lucky
