Our early spring was caught in the
wake of blizzard that swept down
from the northwest, bringing cold
rain followed by snow furries on Sun
day and a drop in temperature that
caused the relighting Of furnaces for
few days. A quarter of an inch of ice
formed Sunday morning and it is fear
| ed that some of the fruit trees that had
| begun to blossom and few early gar
dens have been caught in the freeze.
The cold wave swept the entire Missis-
sippi valley, doing much damage far

During his recent trip to Virginia,
w. A. Shelley purchased a 436 acre
plantation located on the north branch
of the James river, 80 miles west of

railway. About half the farm is under
cultivation, the balance pasture and
heavy timber. Mr.. Shelley bought the
place from a Buffalo, N. Y, business
man for $11, 500, but the buildings, all
in good repair, cannot be replaced for
$4,000. Mrs. Shelley is at present
staying at the farm which is occupied

by Kneff & Hatch's orchestra was sat-

cleaned up the expense. 1t is the in
tention of the Neighbors to give a
dancing party every season, but will
undoubtedly hold it little earlier than
this year.
