Early Monday morning tho snow be
gan to fall and continued until late in
the evening. While tho snow came
from the north, there was but little
wind and hence the ground was soon
covered with a mantle of the flaky crys
tals," This snow is of great value to
the community, as it comes at a time
when the ground was in need of mois
ture, and as there was a fall of about 8
inches of wet, heavy snow the laud will
now be in excellent condition for tilling.
