The zero weather the past
week was fair size sample of
winter weather. Early Friday
morning snow com mmenced to fall
and everyone thought moisture
had atlast come, but bout noon
a north wind appeared on the
scene and in a few hours it was
too cold to snow. Before the
dawn of Saturday morning, the
thermometer had reached eight

snow so that it benefited but
little. At this time the weather

The Linton band was at the depot

to Harry Lynn to be used as the men

When we hear the patriotic airs
and see these men leaving their
homes and friends to fight in the
great army of America and knowing
the cause that they are to fight for,
it makes one feel proud of tn, fact
that he is an American citizen.
