hours the air was filled with soft snow
will be recorded as one of the most ex-
ceptional events the weather records have
yet shown. 1t Is not unusual to have a
cold snap toward the first of April. We
have even had frosts at this time of the
year, but snow storms have never been
recorded SO late in the season.
The entire winter has been unusual.
There is a growing belief that Halley's
comet has something to do with the at
mospheric conditions. According to recent
statistics published, comets have had a
singular effect upon the meteorological
conditions. The nearness of the comet
and the great rapidity with which it is
flying about the sun may have something
to do with the unusual climate after all.
One thing is certain, the past week has
been one of the strangest scientists have
ever encountered. The skies have been
filed with unusual sights. There. have
been unusual displays in the heavens.
There have been spectacular sights among
the stars From every observatory comes
the report of the progress the comet is
making. Photographs have been taken.
Records have been established. figures
have been submitted showing the most re-
cent calculations. In Washington every
morning the time the comet appears IS
published Every one knows now that in
the east the comet can be seen IS early
as 8 40 in the morning, and that from
now on it will become much palmer.
Columns have been written of the comet,
and no one can help feeling that after all
this unusual visitor is responsible for send
ing snow at the beginning of summer.
The fact that it did not linger long on
the ground does not matter much. Prob
ably the damage has been slight, but we
do not know what the end will be and
when this weather will end The weather
bureau is helpless: No predictions can be
relied upon yet awhile. The heavens
seem disturbed and the very air is not
at rest. We can only wait and wonder
what will happen next-Memphis Com

FERNANDO DE SOTO MONEY.

One Of the most scholarly members of
the United States senate is fernando De-
Soto Money, of Mississippi. He may not
possess university degrees in great num-
bers, but he is a thorough student, and
his learning is profound. Day by day
the s1ississippian can be seen examining
the shelves of the secondhand bood stores
on Pennsylvania avenue. He goes from
one to ranother, and occasionally he finds
a rare old voumn he wants, and, what
ever the price may be, if he wants it,
he buys it. He is almost as familiar a
figure on the avenue as are the bookcases
themselves; that is, those which stand
out before the shops with the garnered
learning of centuries on their shelves. In a
few months the Democratic leader will re-
tire to his Mississippi home to live the
remainder of his life among his old friends
and his books. Those. close to the Missis-
sippian say that he will truly welcome the
day that ends his long ard distinguished
senatorial carcer.-Atlanta Georgian.

A case of smallpox developed
in the vicinity of Wood, lizard

of this place, q few days ago.
The disease was brought to that

have been exposed to it.
Eugene A. Shaver died at his
home at Newport Monday night,
following an illness of pneumon-
la, and was buried at that place.
The deceased was the eldest son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles W. Sha-

have found in my work as
your Assessor that this office is a
very responsible one. 1t is the
one on which the wealth of the
