see and note this advance step in

Extent of Millions.

The cold snap of the first of this
week has proved heavy hitter, es-
pecially in the West. South Carolina
is in the column of the more fortu-

damage is recorded within her
bounds, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana,
Texas and other Southern States are
damaged to greater extent, but still
the good old South stands out as the

while others declare the loss will be
at least 60.000,000. Those more

that the former figures are about cor
