Several frosts of that heaviness
that they resembled SHOWS have Wis
tied this section lately. About as
heavy as ever strike in these sunny
Qatitudes. Ice on ponded water a.
bout on the ground last Saturday
morning was another evidence that
the predicted cold wave really struck
this far south. There had been ice
several mornings but that one went
q little ahead in that respect that it
involved more than frozen pumps
and outside water vessels.
A. G. Lindquist received letter
last Saturday from his son Claude
Lindquist who is in Jamestown, N.
T., and has run on one of the in
terurban car lines and who also con-
veyed the Information in his letter
that he was married in August. He
just got mustered -out of the U. S,
Army in the spring and is nearly
twenty-four years old aud bears the
reputation where he is known as
young chap Of exemplary habits of
which his father is we'll proud.
Every precau tion against fire dur
ing the holidays should be taken by
owners OF dwellings and other build
ings. All accumulated leaves and
other trash near buildings should be
raked away, II not burned and the
valleys and roofs should be examin-
ed for leaves which might have ac-
cumulated while the fail simmer
was coming down and which left
might prove ready means to flash
into flame from sky-rocket or ro-
man candle spark. The Herald
hopes that Leakesyiile will 90
