Rain Turned to Sleet-Ice Plentiful
Cold This Morning.
Sunday seems to be the day of sud-

changed back to winter with a gale of
wind and a furry of snow. Yester-
day dawned dark and cloudy and rain
ing, the latter 500 changing to sleet
which fell off and on during the day.
Yesterday afternoon the temperature
began to drop fast and by night the
trees and roof edges were hanging
with icycles and by midnight the
north side of everything was ice COW
cred.
Greenwood was a city of crystals
and seen by the glare of the electric
street lights presented a pretty view,
each twig on every tree appearing as
so many diamonds.
Today is clear, and except for the
ice and cold this morning, has been
very comfortable.

Saturday afternoon when they enter
tanned for their sweet friend and
bride to be. Miss Eva Hall, with a
pretty hose shower. About thirty
girls were present to show their love
and esteem for their girl friend and
school mate. The home was made
bright and attractive with yellow JON
quils, ferns and yellow tulle bows.
A large yellow stocking was suspend
ed under the chandelier in the recep-
ton hall, where the bride-elect was
seated in a pretty decorated chair, and
when the sweet little twins, Louise
and Lizzette Sandifer pulled the rib
bons and the pretty silk hose with
their dainty co!oring were showered
upon the bride in great numbers.
The guests were invited into the
dining room where the table was
beautifully decorated, the centerpiece
was a handsome basket filled with
yellow jonquils, the chandelier was
draped with yellow tulle and stream
ers were extended from fluffy bows,
yellow minis and sailed nuts were in
pretty bonbon dishes. Tea vas poured

CHUM BOB's SPORTING TALK.

New York, Feb. 12-(By Union As
ISOLATED Press)-In launching his new
enterprise of promoting boxing bouts
at Madison Square Garden, Grant
Hugh Browne looked up two bouts
that should draw the keen interest Of
the boxing public. Fred Fulton and
Charlie Weinert will provide the main
attraction in the first show to be stag
ed tonight. Three weeks later Les
Dacy, the Australian star, will make
his first ring appearance in this coun-
try, with AL Mccoy, generally credit
ed king of American middle weights.
The first card will carry more than
passing interest because of the fact
that the fight going public is quite
concerned in the progress Of Fulton.
Frederick's stock has taken a decided
shoot upward recently, by virtue Of
the fact that he slammed Tom Cow
Ter into dreamland in less than q.
round. Fulton is the one white man in
the ring today physically equipped to
offer Jess Willard a real argument for
the heavyweight crown.

Bigna DESMOND in Chicago Saturday

PATRIOTISM.

For him no minstrel raptures swell.

to a representative. of this paper.
"Prof, Carpenter of the Mississippi A.

work. The hogs were fed from a
self-feeder, the plans of which were
obtained from Missouri. On one side
of the feeder we had corr and on
the other cottonseed meal. The hogs
had access to both freely and balanced
their own ration. They were a mixed
lot of native Mississippi hogs and
certainly did we'll on feed. l shipped
them nearly 500 miles to reach this
market, the weather was cold and we
were delayed IL hours behind regular
schedule, yet with all these handicaps
the entire load shrank only 482
as compared with home
weights. My pigs in the consignment
were not furnished and I realize that
I ought to have kept them back a
while longer, but my corn was run
ming low and as the war scare was on
and the market for hogs very high,
we decided to cash in rather than wait
and be forced to buy more feed.
