Prospects Good
Yesterday For
White Christmas
Prospers for a White Christ
mas seemed in store for this
area late yesterday afternoon
when The Mountaineer went to
press, despite the conflicting
signs of weather, with a rise
in temperature.
The skies were dull all day,
with dark clouds threatening
rain, but the snow still ic
malned unmelted, which is
prophetic of more snow ac
cording to local weather
prophets.
The temperature which had
reached two above freezing,
the first of the week, was
steadily rising, which was be
ing hailed by those who have
diminishing supplies of coal
on hand, with comfort and
pleasure.
