The Ohio depression has moved north
eastward to the vicinity of Nova Scotia,
having cuused light rain or snow
around the' lower Lakes, the upper Ohio
and the Potomac valleys.
Another depression has advanced to
the middle Rocky fountain states,
causing- unsettled conditions in the west
Gulf states, rams navmg- set in in nor-
tions of Texas. There have been lieht
rain or snow in the northern boundary
states from North Dakota to the Pacific
coast.
The northwestern "high" is now cen
tered over Kentucky, its movement hav
ing caused colder weather in Arkansas,
Tennessee, tho Ohio valley and the east
Gulf states, and somewhat colder in
Missouri, Montana, the Dakotas, and
most of the Atlantic states. The cold
est reported weather continues in the
'upper Lake region and thence eastward
to the coast, with a minimum of 6
above zero in upper Michigan. Temper
atures have risen in Texas.
Fair weather will continue in this t1
cinity tonight, with slightly colder, but
the eastward movement of the western
depression is likely to cause unsettled
conditions to set in Friday, probably fol
lowed by rain in the afternoon or
night.

A list of all persons who are en
titled to fees for' court service of one
kind and another in Mecklenburg
county Superior court has been made
out in the clerk of the. court's office
apd placed in the front corridor of the
court house for the inspection of the
public.
The list purports to be a complete
one of the unclaimed fees of the
court for court service. It contains
both the name of the preson and the
amount due him. It is made out in
accordance with the law requiring the
clerk of the court to make such an
annual list for the information of the
public.
The list as made out this year is
quite a formidable one and is believed
to be the most complete and accurate
that has ever been made. Miss Daisy
Moore of the clerk's office has been
busy on the task for some time. It is
typewritten, with the list of all per
sons entitled to fees arranged alpha
betically, with the' amount due the
person annexed.
The list has about 500 names upon
it which means that such a number
of persons in Charlotte and Meck
lenburg county have performed court
service during the past year, or per
haps in years prior to this, and have
not called at the clerk's office for the
fees. It may have been witness serv
ice, or jury service, or special venire
service, or some other service at court
demanded by the State of its citizens.
In any case, the law requires the
clerk's office to keep an accurate rec
ord of all service rendered, to post
the names of those who are due court
fees and who have not returned to
claim them.

incident serve as a warning to the pub
lic which, he said, is disposed to be
unconcerned about the damage wrought
upon newly-s ur faced roads.
Mr. Biggers admitted that he ran his
truck over the road when it had just
been freshly laid, his tractor having
sharp cleats in it which made holes in
the surface, but told the court that he
was ignorant of the law against it and
! did not believe that he was dai
the road materially. He did not res
the verdict of the court, however.
