EVERY TABLET Has this MARK,

'•The snow will gradually melt away,"'.- said Will I Garriott. county auditor, today, "and we will not be troubled with rains and floods.:" "What's your authority," he was asked. "The best to be had," lie said," and one that seldom fails. You can try the experiment and see how truthful a prognosti cator it is. Take a ball of snow and hold it over ablaze. If it evaporates, the snow that is on the ground will leave the same way. Should the ball drop in pieces you may confidently expect rain and slop. I tried this experiment yesterday," he went onto say, "and the snowball evaporated. I had forgotten the which was which and called up Father by phone this morning and he told me he had tried it and that it .meant the snow will gradually leave us." It is a pretty story and the people all hope it a truthfnl forecast.

What a Trustee Can Do.

Morton Allender the genial and popular trustee of Blueriver township, treated Edward Hillof rural route 1 most kindly today. Wsien cue carrier reached the home of Mr. Allender on the Barney Coftield farm on the Morristown pike, he found that there had been no one over the road south. The snow was practically as it had fallen and- it looked like he would have to return but Trustee Allender hitched up to a "home-made" snow plow and drove in front of the carrier south to Shiloli church, then north to Jonathan Jessup's corner, then to Western Grove church, then to Jacob Hamilton's farm. He c'eared the roadway practically clear of all... snow.

The funeral of John S Carson occurred at the M. P. church this afternoon. The services were conducted by the pastor^ the Rev. J. R. Moody. The members of the G. A. R. had charge of the funeral.

The revival at the U. B. church is starting off in an encouraging way despite the unpleasant evenings so far this week. Last night the church was filled with a congregation that gave earnest encouragement to the minister, the Rev. O. F. Lydy.

Charles L. Scott, who is at Martinsville for the relief of rheumatism, was reported in a serious condition yesterday and Mrs. Scott went to Martinsville to be with him until he improves.
