The second cold spell of the season
struck Brownsville about ten days ago.
For week the thermometer lowered
close above zero, ranging from two
above to about Is above Sunday
night about three inches of snow fell
and remained on the ground for sew
eral days. To date we have experience
ed the most severe weather felt here
since 1899, at which time the thermo-
meter fell to Is degrees below. Only.
one winter, if we are correctly inform
ed, have we had below zero wealth r.
This was in 1912.
Mayor Keathley has registered a
just complaint over the extravaganza
waste of water by many people of our
city. He says that to avoid frozen
pipes many allow their hydrants to
run full force all night, while others
allow bursted pipes to remain for days
unmended. For these reasons, he says
that it has been impossible to get
supply of water in the reserve tank
and hence, when an accident occurs at
the well, our city is absolutely without
water. To allow hydrants to run full
force in order to save tie expense of
a freeze, is a species of selfshness
and shows want of public spirit and
interest in the general good. Our
people should use every care toward
conserving our water supply, especial
ly at this time when the wells are out
of order and the supply is scant at
best.
Burrel Taylor, an old negro man
aged 107 years, died Thursday, De-
cember q. He lived in district No. 8,
and is said to have been the oldest man
in Haywood county. He is said to have
cleared the land on which the court
house now stands. He knew a great
deal of the history of Haywood county
and in his simple way delighted to tell
marvellous stories of the wonderful and
daring things which happened in these
parts "in the olden times" when he was
boy.
