Big Snow Storm.

A. L. Ayers is down from Park
er's Mill and reports big snow
storm in The mountains on Satur-
day and Sunday. So far as he is
able to ascertain, there was a fall
of about IA inches. The wind was
blowing at a terrific rate and the
snow drifted and piled up in bad
shape. Similar reports come in
from other points, while at Hepp-
it blew, showed and rained all the
same day, with nothing left at this
time to show for it. A large snow
fall in the mountains means more
moisture for the summer months
and now is a good time for it to
come.
