Terrell and Terrell had a lon slanment of fresh tonlatoes from Flori da tcdayv t fc A RECORD BREAKER Thermometer Here Reached 2.3 Below Zero. UNPARAJjELLED Temperature Was Lower at Raleigh this Morning Than It Was in Dakota or New York Throughout the Country. The thermometer as officially record ed at the weather bureau reached 2.3 decrees below zero last night,.- which was the coldest ever experienced in Raleigh, certainly since the establish ment! of the observatory here. . The coldest on record before was 2 degrees above zero. Kven at 8 o'clock this morning the official thermometer reg Istered 1 degree below zero, but at noon It was 15 above zero. The most remarkable fact is that this morning Raleigh was the third coldest place In the United States. At Knox le it was 10 below zero, at Charlotte 4 below, and at Raleigh 2.3 below. These were the coldest places in the United States. In North Dakota it was 20 above zero and at New York 10 above. Thus it will be seen that east Tennes see and iNortn Carolina were tne earn est places in the entire country. At Wilmington, N. C, it was 6 above zero, . at Norfolk 4 above, at Tampa, Fla., 14 above, Jacksonville 16 above, and at 'Key West 40 above. At Mobile the snow was 3 inches deep and 18 above zero. The temperature was cer tainly low enough to play 'havoc with the oranges in Florida. Today, February 14th, is the time for beginning garden work but this was certainly not done In Raleigh. It is rapidly becoming warmer here, but is far from warm now. Mr. Von Hermann says the temperature tonight will be about 10 degrees above zero. The forecast of the weather bureau for Raleigh and vicinity says: Fair to night, warmer. Increasing cloudiness, warmer Wednesday. The high barometer nnd cold wave are now central over the southeast sec tion of the country. The area of cold est weather occupies North Carolina and eastern Tennessee, with the coldest weather In the entire United States. The lowest temperatures were, Knox ville 10 below zero, Charlotte 4 below and Raleigh below. The records for North Carolina are probably the lowest ever experienced in the State. Fair weather -nrevails generally, ex cept increasing cloudiness in the West with some rain on the coast of Texas and a little snow In the upper Missis sippi valley. The temperature has moderated considerably In the central alley and West. REMEMBER HOYT'S.

JUST LIKE RALEIGH. Warrnton Record.

Everything seems to have an upward tendency. Chickens are even roosting high, while twenty dollar gold pieces are out of sight." ANOTHER 'HOYT SUCCESS. .' St.-.in-' n New York Thursday.

" will be presented, will be enough to call out an audience that will thoroughly test the seating capaci ty of our popular playhouse. Play wright Hoyt has written and produced a score or more of comedy successes, but from all reports the one that has made him the most dollars and placed him more prominently before the pub lic as a successful author is "A Stran ger in New York." Since this clear comedy was original ly presented it has undergone many changes, and many improvements have been made, and It is claimed by Mr. Hoyt's friends that in "A Stranger in New York," as now constructed, this popular playwright has never Bhovvn a more thorough - knowledge of novel -features. Ridiculously funny scenes and situations stand out, now more boldly than ever. The corrirtany will Include . Mr. John D. Gilbert the eminent come-, dlan, and many other well-known ar-" tists, numbering thirty-two people. The production i handsomely, staged. -. ' 4 r' 5 J l 7 W BID TKTT
