PREDICTS ONE MORE
 SNOW STORM YET
IPensies at Court House Always Draw
 Snow Says J. J. Fields.

At least one more snow fall this year was confidently predicted by Jo- seph J. Fields as he was setting out a fine bed of pansies at the court house
 in front of the police station window. Mir. Fields has had pansies in this bed for years and declares that it has nev- CT fNiled to snow each year after they have been set out. Another reason to expect snow. according to Mir. Fields is that the magnolia tree at the Buck ingham Memorial is in bloom. and it is the regulas thing to have the blos- sons showed on.
 Pansies- are very scarce in Norwich this year so that Mir Fields has set 1 out only one bed instead of two. The | flower bed in front of the common
 pleas court office window has been
 seeded down and will not be used fol plants this year.
