Ice Harvest Interrupted

The warm weather has stopped the harvesting of one of the finest crops of ice ever put up here. The ice was as clear as a crystal and very solid. It averaged from eight to eleven inches in thickness and was of the finest quality. The ice business here is now owned and managed by H. E. White, William Lee having sold his interests to Mr. White some time ago. Two of the large ice houses are filled and the third house is about a third filled.
