The Olden Time Ajair.
The spring of 1849 began about
the last ten days of February.
During March it began to look as
if frost and ice would never be
seen again. The boys laid aside
their jeans clothes and shoes and
began to wade and go in washing
before the month closed. About
the first week in Aoril farmers
began to replant and cultivate
their corn. April came in as hot
as July. By the *10th English
i peas were in full bloom and the
early kinds nearly large enough
for the tables. The forests were
green and the petals of fruit
blooms had all disappeared and
the trees were loaded with young
fruit. Early wheat was in boot
and in many fields the heads
were showing. Saturday cold
breezes began to come in from
the North and. during the night
heavy clouds rolled up. When
people arose Sunday morning,
April 15, 1849, the first thing
was to hunt their heavy clothing.
Then winter fires were built. The
clouds got darker and heavier j
and by 8 o'clock the snow was
j falling rapidly. It continued five
I to six hours. It melted fast, as
the ground was warm, nut the
general opinion was that six inches
fell. The forest trees were
bent by the heavy snow that
lodged on the gre^n leaves. It
cleared off during the afternoon
and the next morning the ground
was frozen hard and there was
ice where water was standing
water. Corn, garden vegetables,
cotton and fruit were killed. Our
recollection is that a half whe&t
crop was made and that corn and
cotton were planted over and a
good crop was made. The foliage
tnat was killed was renewed in
part. There were r?o weather
I records in those days, there may
j not have been a dozen thermomi
eters in the country.?Carolina
