There has been another week of cold
weather in South Jersey, and more
frozen pipes and more carrying of wa

snowfall last Friday night and contin-

day and the temperature dropped down
to near zero again, being ten or twelve.
Tuesday morning it was twenty above
zero and snow set in before daylight,
continuing until the middle of the af-
ternoon, making about six or seven in
ches on the level. There was no wind
and the temperature was just right to
hold the snow, and there has been the
best kind of sleighing since Tuesday
afternoon, January %. Wednesday

day morning it Is considerable milder,
just 30 degrees at seven O.. m. Snow

morning, but it did not last long, as
the sun came out at nine O'Clock.
There are no sleighs on the
island of Five Mile Beach nowadays
and 1t has not been possible for the

The domestic coal situation at Wild
wood has eased up somewhat. Mr..
Saul had a carload of nut in Tuesday
morning and Austin had two or three
cars IN during the week. Most of the
coal bins are nearly empty and if more
cars do not arrive during the coming
week there will be suffering. AT the
JOURNAL Office it takes nearly a ton a
week, and there is only enough on
hand to last about a week. 1t certain
ly is hard to get coal.
