Conforming to the prediction
made in these columns last week. the
weather man got busy and stirred up
a little winter. By the old rule of
the grounding we should have had
mild weather to the end Of the
chapter, but this is an exceptional
winter Friday morning the Their
mometer registered zero. and repeat
ed the mess on Saturday. Then, on
morning, there was sure
enough winter. Some of the Oldest
inhabitants declared their mercury
ran down to 30 below, which was
cold enough whether those were
''sooner" thermometers or not we are
not here to say, but Sunday was cold
enough to put to route the average !
stock of human religion. The churches
we're pretty slimly attended Mon !
day morning was much more mild
and by noon there was thawing going i
on in places And the backbone |
of winter was once more broken. !
If one were to walk into few of :
the district schools of Grant county |
one at a time he would think that the !
good old days have returned. While
the rule is small attendance, there are
a few of the old fashioned sort. Take
for instance No 5, South Lancaster,
with its attendance of Al. Then
there is No f. Mt Ida, which is
presided over by Miss Mayme johnson.
