Temperature 11 i g h
As Freezing at Few
Brief Intervals For
Nearly Week.
The hitter cold weather that was 1
held this section in its grip for near
ly a week showed no signs of abating
today.
I .ate this afternoon the thermomet
er was falling after hitting a maxi
mum of 28 degrees for tiie day. The ,
minimum for the night was reached !
at 7 a. rn. today when the low was
recorded as lit degrees above zero. At
11 a. m., the thermometer stood at j
22, and went on to 28 by 2 p. m.,
'when It started downhill again.
The low mark Christmas morning j
Was six degrees above zero, and the
maximum for the day was 3f>. Mon
day’s maximum was 31 dee t ecs, after
a reading of zero at t o’clock that ;
morning. On Tuesday the maximum
was. 42, and the minimum {hat morn
ing was 16.
'Hie present cold season set In here
last Friday, and only two or three i
times during that period has the ther
mometer risen above iho freezing
level of 32 degrees. So far as own bo
remembered, this is a record for this
section of the country, at least in re
cent. years. There have been occa
sions when the mercury slid down I
to near zero, amt several times dur
ing the ordinary winter it drops to
12 and 15. But for nearly a week
minimum temperatures here have
been 16 or below, and only two or
three times even up to the freezing
mark, and then for only a short
time. * * *
The weather forecast today was for
still colder weather tonight, with the
prospect of a new low for the sea
son, If a new low is made here, it
will have to he below zero, and that
would mean a bottom that few peo
ple now living here can remember in
Henderson.

A love story so magnificent and j
compelling that the audience sat
hushed for a full minute after the
■ final fadeout before breaking out in- .
! to tumultuous applause,- unfolded on 1
the screen at the Vance Theatre last
evening. The film was “The Dark An

i roles, plays Kitty Vance, a sweet,
young English girl, who since? child
hood has been loved by one boy. Ger
ald (Marshall), while she loves his I
cousin, Alan (March). Months in the i
