BITTINGER

q
Last Thursday was dark and cold
and dreary; it rained, and the wind
was never weary. On Friday the
weather man took his blow and mixed
up the rain with a batch of snow. On
Saturday farmers swore it would
freeze and hustled around to "kiver"
their peas. They worked all day with
hearty will and cussed old Dobbin to
beat Sam Hill, but the clouds rolled by
and the mercury rose, and not blam-
ed thing in the garden froze.
The report of registrars for this dis
trict shows that last Tuesday, the first
