PROMISED A SNOW BEFORE CHRISTMAS

Weatherman Plans White Christmas and Santa Claus May Tet Be Able to Use Reindeers. The weatherman says snow tonight and probably Tuesday. Everything up to this time has pointed to a green Christmas and meddlesome, people have been planning various methods of travel for Old Santa, but If it snows as has been forecasted there is every reason to expect that he will again travel with his reindeers and be the Good Old St. Nick of our childhood. The weatherman does not say just how much snow we will have, but issues a warning to prepare us to shut the woodshed door and put the snow shovel in a handy place. See George F. Meyers’ list of Farms fo:' Sale'in another column.

The disabled and derailed cars were near the residence of Dave McConnahay, who telephoned to the depot about as follows; ‘Tell that engineer to stop trying to back up, he has cars scattered all over the country now.” The“ Jumbo” wrecker was brought here from Monori and the track was not cleared until after 7 o'clock, and northbound passengers 38, 6 and 30, and the southbound milk train were held until a clearing was made. The old car was pitched off to the side of the track and burned.
