DECIDED DROP IN TEMPERATURE
First Snow of Season Falls Tuesday
Morning and the Weather Hovers
Around the Zero Mark

The first real snow of the season
fell in Denison and Crawford county
on Tuesday morning. and before noon
the ground was covered with a blan-
ket of white. With the snow came a
decided drop in temperature with a
strong north wind and workmen ON the
postofiice building and the new opera
house were compelled to quit work.
The weather continues cold and there
are no indications that warmer wealth
er will be in evidence this week.
The clothing merchants of the city
have been reaping harvest as re-
suit of this first cold snap and the
large stocks of overcoats and mittens
have been rapidly diminishing. Coal
bins are fairly yawning with wide OPP
en- mouths for their usual supply of
coal and draymen are scurrying about
the city supplying their wants.
Contractors are hoping that the cold
weather will not continue in order
that buildings now under course of
construction may be put under roof
before real winter sets in. The new
postoffice building is practically out of
the way and portion of the roof is
already completed. Most of the stone
and brick work is now laid and with
a few more days OF mild weather the
building will be under cover. The
builders of the new opera house are
not so fortunate inasmuch as the brick
work is not nearly completed. A large
