is THIS C. II. WEATHER?

If the fearful weather that we
have had for the past month is
ground hog weather it would not be
hard to form a regiment to wage
war on the little vermints. Snow six
to eight inches deep and the mercury
around the ten mark as it was this
morning, is not spring weather by a
long shot. In fact the present cold
spell is about the worst ever. Promise
for fair and warmer times is given,
however, and it is hoped that this is
the breaking up spell of the worst
winter in the memory of the oldest
inhabitants. Those who believe in
the ground hog theory contend that
we are to have bad weather until
March 10th, when the six weeks from
Feb. , ground hog day ends but let us
all join in the hope that they are
mistaken and that spring will soon
come in earnest and that the day of
burning 22-cent coal to keep from
freezing will be gone months at least.

Miss Mary McRoberts Bruce, of
Stanford. The Congressman arrived
in Lexington at 500 A. NJ, was mar
ried and en- route to Washington on
the 1 40 A. M. tarin, so he was
hardly missed in Washington by his
friends and colleagues, Mr.. Helm and
his bride have been sweethearts for
many years, and their wedding is the
outcome of their pleasant courtship.
In the event that Congress takes it's
usual recess, it is the intention of the
happy couple go to the Philippine

early this spring. Since returning to
Washington the bride and groom
have been the recipients of much So
