ELLENUALE.


The snow storms OF last week and this week 4
have brought much complaint nom the peo
PIE an general, on account Of empty wood
yards and low coal pi es and this has caused
much borrowing among our neighbors.
There are also 4lany com plants made Of
persons borrowing wood and coal al night aud
never returning the same but OF course this
state Of affairs Is prevalent In almost every
community and especially noticeable 10 ex-
treme weather such a. We have had this vim
ter.
While the snow storm was raging on Mon
day night Harry shockley who lives miles
east Of town became bewildered ana was lost
from about O'Clock until o'clock ia the
morning.
This extreme winter weather does not hinder
the desire for good time and the enjoyment
still goes on about Jefferson's Cross Roads aud
I on last Monday evening Mrs frank Getting
entertained a large crowd Of friends at a fas.
hionable luncheon IN honor Of her visitor
Miss Dora trowd Of Wiikesbarre, Pa, who
I left for her home this week This same social
circle was entertained by Mrs. Holland Ash
near Lincoln City. These family gatherings
are most delightful and show no signs Of hard
times or regards for the nigh prices Of meats.
with regard to the high prices OF meats
there are i've men who camp al Bob Glen !

and live exclusively on Possum meat They
have caught and eaten 3j big fat fellows 20 ,
weeks and sold their hides for s. cents each.
