Storms of the ten days will be more
severe than usual and may be classed
with the Worst of the Winter. More
than usual precipitation Is expected
within the ten days, particularly In
southern "ltd eastern sections. Much
told xveather will prevail following
this xvurrii wave, till about March 25,
following which Ihe conditions call
for another great warm wave to cross

This period will average colder than
1 isi i ii I; the cool wave will be a cold
wave. Snows are expected
heaviest in nolilienstcrn sections and
Increasing rains in southern sections.
Storms will be more severe than us
it a I These early March storms an
expected lo remind the reader that
excessive rains were predicted for
the southern slates for March and if
the forecast proves good for March II
wilt lend to Impress Ihe proluil^llty
that the southern states are lu for
cesslve rains till abftut August 20.
With a wet summer before them
I lie southern planters should dist al
cotton us an unprolitahlc crop ami
plant corn. Hlow deeper than for col-
ton. There Is an abundance of nour
Ishlng soli below where the plow-
shares have heretofore run and the
only xvay lo get It into growing crops
Is lo gel a better breaking plow and
dig deeper than heretofore. Those who
persist in planting cotton Hits year will
need lo resort lo the old-fashioned hoc
of slavery times, as grass xvill grow
better than cotton this year.
Those sections of the middle north-
west, particularly northern parts of
division No. II on Hosier's Weather
Map, that were well Wet before Ihe
freeze last fall, xvill lie fortunate We
are expecting a moderate drouth up
there April 2<> lo June 2« . I till I lie
ground Is fro/.cn six feel deep In many
places and xvill not completely thaw
out much before July. Where well
xx'et before Ihe Winter free/Jug euiiii
on, sulllclent moisture will be furnish-
ed the crop as the ground thaws and
I lie drouth xxill do much less damage
There is a lighting chance for iiiak
lug good crops In all sections, hut
cotton tins the most discouraging out-
look before if on account of the com-
ing wet season. The t'acilie slope has
a promising prospect. Hxen the dust
of July will probably not Ily so freely
I Here The West Indies do not appear
lo be so I'ortuuulc except for products
thai need excessive rains. Prospccts
are not good for Itlissia. Hooks likt
a delicioney of rainfall over there
Most rains the coming summer are
scheduled for southern latitudes and
therefore Huropeati Kusslu looks dry.
The dry weather will probably extend
Into Norway, Sweden and Denmark.

xvotild have brought tl .s roail into

Ihe Iiiici'scction of North Church and

niission also agreed, in tin tins route

parts of Church Street in Improve-
ment District No 8 as are not Inchld
etl in District No. 2, and pave it to

that t he City Com mission look a non-

ing to connect the city paving wllh
tlte pike whichever route that might
be chosen by the county ollldals.
Judge II. H. Davis Hinted tliu! the
route chosen seemed lo be the most
practical one, ami would cost Ichs lo
build and less lo maintain, as it Is Oil
a high lidge which Insures splendid
drainage. Wuddlll Street will lie ex-
tendi d northward through some
properly owned by James Muse ami
other to a point due east of all easl-
xvest line thai would run about KM>
yards south of the home of F. B.
Cameron, then due west to I lie pres-
ent load. This xxill eliminate two off-
sets and give a higher ground for the
road Parties owning the land have
agreed, according lo Judge Davis, lo
give the necessary laud free of

All rock needed in the building of
