A letter received Wednesday from D. J. Babcock, Camp Taylor, Kentucky, states that up to the time the letter was written, January 21, the mercury had been below zero ten times so far this winter, which was very unusual for that vicinity.

The present cold snap was quite severe at Camp Taylor and one of the main water suipply lines froze up and bursted, causing considerable inconvenience as water was shut off for two days from the camp. Delevan is now on the carpenter detail and therefore does not have drilling at present.

We note that in several localities of the state the people are partially solving the fuel problem, as did Rensselaer. A dispatch from Lawrenceburg says: “More than 300 physicians, lawyers and other professional men and residents passed Monday chopping cordwood at three camps on the river bank. Night found them with 600 cords out. This wood will be sawed up at the veneer works and will be delivered by dealers who can not supply coal. Prices will be graduated according to the ability of the buyer to pay /for the fuel. Professional men must pay $6 a cord, wage earners $3 and. unable to pay will be given wood f**e. S- • %t+&: ■

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

Of all the words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these, ‘lt might have been.’ There are words sadder than those, ‘Wake up quick, the pipes are froze.' Several carloads of soft coal have been received here this week and one dealer expected in two carloads of hard coal, so the 'fuel situation in Rensselaer Is easy at present. It is said to be improving greatly the country over now that railroad traffic has opened up to normal and nonessential freight has been “sidetracked.’’ The five-day closing of manufacturing plants has also helped wonderfully and ijt la probable no serious general shortage will occur again with normal weather. Quite a little of the wood cut by Rensselaer business and professional men and others out at Vance Collins’ timber has been hauled to town and sawed Into stove lengths. It is being sold at $3 per half-cord, (half a 4-foot cord) delivered, or $2.50 at the yards, and the net money derived goes to the charity board. Of course, charity cases get served free. This price is quite reasonable for wood sawed to stove length, being practically the same as $4 per cord for 4-foot length.
