Mrs. A.W. Halen is visiting her daughter at Stanley since last week.

 

Our mailman was around with the mail on time Monday.  He had an old ax and he said where the road was bad he cut wire fences and went into the field.  He is the only carrier we have heard of that made the trip that day.

 

The worst snow and wind storm that ever struck this county came last Sunday.  It last about 24 hours and everyone had some snow drifts to shovel away Monday.

A certain young man from our neighborhood got caught by the storm Saturday night and didn’t get home until Tuesday morning.  But we have an idea he was happy where he was.
