Mr. English will join his wife here Sunday. Mrs. G. B. Rollings returned to her home in Indianapolis today after spending about two months here with her father, A. J. Biggs and family.

The many efforts of the weatherman to produce some cold weather have failed almost completely. Friday it was some colder for a time but during the night it moderated and what little frost there was in the ground went out and the roads are again in miserable condition. The forecast for tonight is rain, and it seems about ready to start on that program at any minute. For Sunday it is to be cloudy and slightly colder. Road Superintendent Gray, who just returned from Colorado, will have a big Job in getting the roads back into any reasonable condition for the ruts are cut through all over the county. It is said that drags are used quite successfully in some counties following the period of ruts created during the soft period. It will be necessary probably to employ this method as the cost of filling up the holes with rock would be very high.
