GOOD BYE, BAD ’CESS TO YE

October leaves us today and no one will be sorry, as the weather has been the most unpleasant during the entire month that old settlers ever remember October to have been in this section of the country. Usually it is one of the finest months of the year, and we have often thought that no state in thi union had such pleasant fall weather, a a rule, as Indiana. This October, however, has been in keeping with the entire season, which has been a freak —-a season without a summer —as we -did not have over a week or ten days of real warm summer weather during the entire season. All during the present month, for most part, we have had “nasty” weather and for the past couple of weeks there has been more or less rain every day or every night. Practically all of .Friday night, Saturday forenoon, a part of Sunday afternoon, all of Sunday night and all day Monday the rain was almost continuous, and during the early hours Monday morning there was considerable lightning. Monday evening the mercury dropped below the freezing point and the rain turned to snow, the ground being 0 covered with about two inches of “the beautifpl” yesterday morning.
