Evening Republican, Volume 23, Number 259, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 October 1920 — OUR FIRST SNOW. [ARTICLE]

OUR FIRST SNOW.

Thursday the approach of winter was indicated when the heavens scattered downy snow flakes upon the earth for the first time since the sun had driven the snow clouds far into the north last spring. Thus have we been warned that winter is fast driving fall from. us. Last. night the government thermometer registered 30 degrees above zero and this morning the beautiful green of the lawns had changed to a hoary white. This has been one of the most pleasant seasons known to this vicinity, and one should remember not to complain should some disagreeable weather be given us by those who take care of that part of creation.
