Mr. Jule B. Fortune, Shelby postmaster many years ago and candidate for congress in this district, no doubt longs for the Sunny South. He is now living at Hubbard Woods, a suburb of Chicago, Ill., and in renewing his paper and that of two relatives he writes:
“Here is our snow record for the past winter. First snow October 9, 1925. Last snow melted April 25th, 1926, six months and 23 days from the time the first snow fell. During this time we had 27 different snows and snow was seen on the ground for more than five months. Though Spring is a month behind, thanks to the good God of nature, the grass is green and the leaves on the trees ae growing one time more. The temperature was 40 above at 6 a.m. this morning.”
