THE WEATHER.

The weather for the past week has
been anything but pleasant, and ev-
cry variety has been crowded into
this space of time. Last .Wednes-
day night the first thunderstorm of
the season visited the town. The
lightning was as lively and the thun-
der as loud as in the summer time.
A transformer in front Of the home
of Mrs. Hemphill was struck early in
the night and Fort Pickens was in
total darkness for the night. Thurs
day there was rain most of the day
and since then a high wind has pre-
vailed with the thermometer most Of
the time below freezing. On Monday
there was a little snow, mixed with
sleet and rain. The peach trees
and pear trees that are in bloom
stand a poor show for fruit this year.
Most of the jonquils have been
scorched by the high wind and their
beauty is e thing Of the past.

THE POST OFFICE FLOWERS.

Last fall the post office at Able
vile was selected as one of six in
the United States to try out the new
method of decorating the grounds
surrounding the building. Landscape
gardeners were sent here from Wash
ingtcn and six hundred yuccas were
set out around the building and or
namental shrubs in the outlying
grounds. These shrubs are of the
magnolia family and are beginning
to bloom. The yuccas are all liv-
ing and will form a solid mass of
green against the white brick of the
building.
The post office at Abbeville was
one of the few: that got through the
holiday rush without extra help.

WHAT HE HOPES.

Since the war begun we hear of
many things that are getting scarce
and if the war lasts long we will not
be able to get at all. All such evils
are attributed to the Germans and
several days ago when Mrs. James
Hill undertook to give her son, Rich
ard, a good dose Of castor oil, by
way of consolation she told him that
if the Germans did not stop fighting
soon there would not be any more
oil and this would likely be the last
dose he would have to take. Richard
gave a long sigh and remarked that
he chopped they would fight on for
ever" thereby wishing good luck on
all other little boys of future genera
tons.
