Miss Snow Beats Jack Frost.
-----
This is the one time that
Miss Beautiful Snow beat Jack Frost to this part of Texas.
Marlin people woke next morning to find
sleet falling, and before ten o'clock there was quite a little snow falling.
Old inhabitants say that this the first
time in their recollection that snow came ahead of frost and that this is a very
early date--Nov. 11--for snow and sleet.
"Old inhabitants" also says that this
presages an early and severe winter. At any rate, better look at your
woodpile and coal bin.
