with snow drifts. On Saturday winter

style of many years ago. The mercury
dropped to a reading of several de-
grees below zero Sunday morning and
during the afternoon of that day snow
again began to fall, giving promise of
plenty of Christmas snow and ice.
Those in charge of the county roads
erected a considerable quantity of
snow fences along the main road be-
tween this village and Grantsville last
week which will be of very great SER
vice to the people of this section, dur
