TTItnin Whispering Distance ot
Each Other How it is ' About
; the Town and Country.
j Yesterday morning dawned clear
and fair, but intensely cold, the
thermometer at the - signal office
registenng 11 degrees above zero, at
sun up. The wind was blowing from
the northwest and business men who
had to face it as they -came up town
in the early morning hours found but
little comfort even in bending their
backs and going it head to the blast.
Noses were reduced to brittleness and
every other man's moustache was
laden: with a fine; powdery . . white
frost, the result of frozen breath. The
cutting air made out door loafing a
forbidden luxury and there was no
loitering on the streets. : People hurs
nea along, with , their frozen shoes
clattering upon the frozen navements.
and puffing little clouds from: their
nostrils . that looked - like t. Vwood
.- der" amoke ; Horses were frisky
and pranced along ' over the streets
with their hair raised in that peculiar
manner always noticed in - freezing
weainer, ana tney needed no urging
by the drivers to make them step
sprightly. The snow covered streets
were dotted with wood wagons in'
charge - of half frozen darkies, and
under most of the ' wagons, sat shiv
ermg canines ,witn tneir tans wraD
ped around them to keep off as much
of the cold as' possible . Along . tos
wards noon, in places exposed to the
eun out sheltered from the wind, a
slight thaw set in but it was of only a
short durationr . lasting ; only long
enough to elaborately deck some of
the. buildings with icicles of various
sizes and forms, imparting a really
arctic appearance to the houses. The
temperature remained - stationary
throughout the . day until .about 3
o'clock : in the afternoon, w hen : the
mercury began to descend, gradually
but steadily. ' At nightfall; the thers
mometers registered 10 degrees above
zero and at ll o'clock; last night; the
lowest ppiht reached was 9 degreesrtJeing made to clear the tracks, bo
above zero, with the cold perceptibly
increasing. The effect of the frosty
air; upon manv of the large show
windows in the city was in some ins
stances beautiful. On ; the .windows
at HalPs beef market, was the perfect
representation of a tree with its trunk
and branches. glittering . with frosty
diamonds and on other windows the
)ictures presented looked something
ike ice coated forests. . , - ...
There were but few country people
in town and they reported that all
the' streams were covered with ice
and the roads frozen hard. They exs
pressed fears, that the excessive cold
weather last night would prove fatal
to cattle and stock; in cases where the
best precautions were not. taken to
shelter them. , -
TJp to last night there had .been no
serious interruption to travel on the
railroads centering at Charlotte. The
noon train came in from Richmond
two hours late, and the Air Line from
Atlanta last night, arrived 63 minutes
behind time.
An Editor Unmasks.
The last issue of the Wadesboro In
telligencer, contains a three column
account of the life of its editor, who
has heretofore been known as S. W;
Henley, but whose real name is given
as Sperry W. Hearn.( His story cons
dehsed, is, that he is a native of Tap
pahannock, ,VaM and begun life in
that town as a - compositor in the
office of the Essex Qazette. He fel.
in love with a school girl and after
paying her attention for sometime.he
was snubbed by the eirl, who bestow
ed her favors upon a rival in the per

an attempt V at suicidel which V was
frustrated by friends, and after vain

a
duel he decided to exile himself from
his native town1; and ' people. He

assumed the name ' of S. W. Henley.
and after . wandering about for sew
eral years,? finally drifted to Wades
boro, where : he established the 'In
telligencer, and had worn his mask
successfully until he revealed his
romance last week. The people of
his native town had believed him to
be dead for a long time past. : This
revelation was partly brought about
by a controversy . which nas been
waged for some - time past between
the Timed and the Intelligencer and
was published to forestall a publica
tion m the Times. Mr. Hearn has
evidently endeavored tog make a
cleab breast and gives the names of
many Virginians who can be referred
to by the incredulous Having thrown
off his mask and reveaied his where-

intention of shortly paying a visit to

Yesterday's weather was hard on

were afflicted with acute pneumonia,
their noses - rapidly swelling until
they reached an abnormal size, giving
the horses a very curious appearance.
The nose of one of the horses was
swollen to nearly twice as large as its
head, and the condition of this horse
is considered incurable, Other horses

Here is an article which works to perfection, and
which is harmless; for the sleep which it affords tho -.-Infant
is perfectly natural, and the little cherub
awakes as "bright as a button." And during tho v
Erocessof teething Its value is Incalculable. Wo
