Deceased was a sufferer from cancer, and death came as a welcome relief to end his sufferings. He leaves a wife and large family of children who have the sympathy of all. Thursday was a cold day. Friday at noon it began to snow. Saturday morning one of the heaviest rains in many moons registered here. Sunday a fog as thick as ever was seen by the “oldest inhabitant” swooped down upon us and stuck around until Monday evening. Tuesday we had more snow. How is that for variety? The sale of personal property at A. Lambrecht’s place last Thursday drew a large attendance and the bidding was spirited. The weather was cold as the dickens but the crowd just had to listen to J. H.
