That thick blanket of fog was doubt
less all that saved US from freezing the
crops, both Saturday night and Sunday
night. There was some frost even, on
higher land, sufficient to lay out cucum-
Der vines and other like tender plants,
and in some places the corn was little
scorched. There may have been places
not protected by the fog where the frost
was killing, but the Democrat has not
heard of them. It was certainly cold,
and but for the fog there wouldn't be
much left here of tender plants.
