Spring Breezes Now Here.

The mercury Saturday ■morning stood at 8 to 16 degrees above zero, according to thermometers about town. And the 16th of March, too. Sunday was much warmer and Monday still more so, therefore little snow is left on the ground at this writing. B. K. Zimmerman told us that Friday’s blizzard was the last snow of the season, and we sure hopq he is right. Everybody has got tired of Old Winter this time, and if he has any respect for his former adherents he will sneak off out of sight for the next eight months. Yesterday was the most springlike day we have had yet, and we have hopes that spring is really close at hand.
