Frost Last Six Years.
In view of the lateness of planting
of much corn in this section, farmers
are anxious that we have no early
frost this fall A review Of the wealth
er reports from 1914 to 1919 will be
found encouraging.
No frosts were reported In August
during these years. The first frost in
1914 came on the morning of Sept. 26,
and the next frost was visible on the
morning of Oct. &c, continuing for
three nights.
II 1915 no frosts were recorded in
August, September or October.
FIRST frost in 1916 came on the night
of Sept. Is, and is noted as killing
frost" on the chart. Two more frosty
nights followed during the month, on
the nineteenth and twenty-ninth.
A white frost" was visible in 1917
OF the low grounds near the pumping
station on the morning of Sept. II, and
On 18th The first killing frost in 1917
is recorded on Oct. 6; another on the
sth and light fall of snow is reported
on the 18th.
Frost was first noted in 1918 on the
morning of Sept. 81, and again on
that of the 22nd. All frosts were
light" up to Nov. Is of that year.
Last year was another exceptional
year A light frost fell on the morn
ing or Sept. 70, the only 1rOst recorded
until November. October temperatures
were warm. The lowest was 33 de

On the day of his nomination he saw
two reflections of himself in a mirror,
one of them pale shadow, and the
superstition always present in this
primitive man was aroused. On the
night before he started for Washing
ton, as he was sadly leaving his old
law office for the last time and saying
goodbye to his partner ne foretold the
fate that awaited him. The people
who had gathered at the railway sta
ton the next morning to say goodbye
to him saw him, as long as his train
remained in sight, standing on the
platform of his car, melancholy fig
ure, wistfully looking back at the van
ishing little town into which hn had

where fame had sought him out. u
the man, which oc&uI.> L l., n"So
of his journey, caused many smiles
and as many sneers. Having adopted
the advice Of little girl in a New
York town, who wrote him letter
begging him to grow a beard on his
hitherto clean-shaven face, he called
for her when his train stopped at her
station, and told her, as he kissed her,
that he had made the change at her
request.
At Philadelphia there was a more
solemn incident, touched with tragic
prophecy. In the unwonted emotions
evoked in Independence Hall, where
he spoke on Washington's Birthday,
Lincoln was moved to declare that if
the Union could not be saved without
giving up the principles of the Declar-
alton of Independence, he would rath-
er be assassinated on this spot than
surrender it."
AS the presidential train neared
Washington, Lincoln was met by a
messenger from Seward and also by
Allen Pinkerton, the noted detective.
with the warning of plot to mob him
in Baltimore, where in those times all
through railway cars had to be slowly
hauled across the city by horses. AL
though he disliked to steal into the
capital, as he said, like thief in the
night" he accepted the advice of those
around him and quietly left his party
at Harrisburg. Accompanied only by
P1nkerton and another loyal Illinois
friend, he finished the journey unob-
served, though undisguised, in a gen
eral sleeping car. Arriving in Wash
ington at dawn, the three men hailed
station hack, like any other strang-
ers, and were already settled at their
hotel when the capital awoke to the
startling news that the president-elect
