T.S. Ragsdale's Shortcut Took Longer Because of Snow, Jan. 31, 1922

Saw Two Feet of Snow

Last week, Mr. T.S. Ragsdale took a trip to the western part of Virginia to visit one of his sons in school there who was sick. Returning he reached Richmond Friday and to save time as he thought, decided to come by way f the Seaboard railroad to Raleigh and thence on the Southern to get to Selma. At Norlina his train took a siding and an extra engine had to be used to get it back on the main line track. At Henderson four engines were required to bring the train through the great snow which had fallen in that section. There the snow was two feet or more deep. Mr. Ragsdale arrived home Saturday morning instead of Friday night as he had expected.
