.FRIGID RECORD BREAKER
SETS SMYRNA SHWERING
ONE OF COOLEST WAVES ON
RECORD VISITS THIS SECTION
Theomometer Registers as Low as Ten
Degrees Below Zero-Peach Crop
Declared TO be Damaged

Smyrna and vicinity has been shiv-
ering since Saturday with one of the
severest cold waves that has ever WIS.,
tied this section. 1t dropped down
as it were on the wings of northeast
gale Saturday afternoon and evening
attended by squalls nf snow and by
Sunday morning the thermometer re-
gistered in some places as low as ten
degrees below zero. The result was
that business was at a stand still Sat-
urday evening and all day Sunday few
ventured out. The churches felt the
effect of it in small congregations and
most country churches were SIMPLIFY
forced to close on account Of lack of
fuel to keep congregations warm.
Many water pipes were frozen and
plumbers were on the job all day Sun
day as actively if not more so than
on regular working days. Monday
saw but little abatement in the inten-
sity of the cold. While the temper
ature registered around ten above zero
in the sunny part of the afternoon it
got below zero again at night. John
Buttery, who kept tab on the temper
ature with his self-Iegistering ther-
mometer and reports that the lowest
temperature recorded Saturday night
and Sunday morning was 9 degrees
below zero. Sunday night and Mon
day morning it got down to 6 degrees
below zero and Monday night and
Tuesday morning it was q degrees
below zero. Last night the tempera-
ture registered zero but began to mod
crate to-day and the back bone of the
cold wave now seems to be broken.
The intense cold froze all the streams
and ponds in and about Smyrna tight.
Smyrna River navigation is completely
tied up. Lake Como is frozen over
solidly with 8 or 10 inches of ice and
fine skating is had by those who are
willing to face the frigid cold.
Coal Situation Handled Well Here
The coal situation, bad as it is. was
handled we'll considering the number
of families without fuel. The Goa
yards dealt cot coal in small quaint
ties to keep every body supplied
Fuel Administrator H. P. Hall say
no severe suffering was reported ant
with the coal on hand and what is eX
pected. he hopes Smyrna will be abl
to be supplied so that no one will
really suffer.
: Believed That Peach Crop is Damage
Fruit growers are of the Opinio
that the zero weather has damaged tn
peach crop. The wood they say
more or less tender at this time G
year and the intense cold has bee
! damaging. Plum trees and other frui
trees are also more or less damaged
e Take it all in all, it was the severe'
cold spell Smyrna and vicinity has ha
n in a score of years and will go dow
h as a record breaker for this climate.
