('., April 4.?It snowed last night and this morning at <1 the ground was white, but ceased and pvas all soon incited. That was the (second snow that had fallen this 1 ;wcek. Is there any one living who- ' lever saw a more beautiful sight that 1 was beheld the other morning when 'the beautiful snow covered the earth ' some two inches deep and ail the : 1 roes so beautifully covered in its 1 beauty. I'each and pear trees in : a all bloom, covered in snow, was one ' f the most beautiful scenes I ever ' beheld. ] i There is a religious sect who be- ' jieves that the prophecies are fast ' being fulfilled and Christ's second ! homing is nigh at hand; that th< -iv. shall be wars and rumors o: waiw, and mighty earthquakes in th earth. : L\nd don't it say we will not know 1 winter from summer or somching to ' j hat effect. Well, we an having snow in April, and most of the world engaged in one of th<> mo *: deadly : wars the world ever witne.--el and other impoiuuil countnus ngui I ?lu? brink of war. There is England , trving to get o n- country into :? wai with Mexico and also in t'rv European war, hy flying the Am-noun llatv on her merchant ships, and it looks mighty like she is hiring American engineers, etc., and Americans to travel on those vessels knowing the danger that there is in being Mown up hy a mine or being destroyed l>y a submarine, and it American lives are lost, call Uncle Sam to protect her citizens and mavbe involve our nation in a great, conflict and cause thousands of our young men to fall on the lmttelfieiii >r (ill a watery grave. No, my dear readers, we don't want any war with any nation. Europe is in it and let. her tight it out as we did r?0 years ago. There are more ways to kili a cat than hy choking it to death with butter. I think we have men at the head of our nation who are doing all Jthat is possible to retain pe.v e with the world.

The fact that the office had ^ just received a new supply of stamps is the explanation for the loot being ,0 larjre* , , tc According to the best calculation that can be made the robbery occur- a( red about 1:30 o'clock this morning jmd there were three in the party*', if not more, and they were traveling by automobile. The town has had a night F: watchman on duty for some time, but last night he was sick and went home g! about 1 o'clock. Previous to his go- vl ing in he saw an automobile pass 8( slowly through- the main street, car- 2( f Vtrnn man \i'Vw\ cannuul in I to ?t looking carefully on both sides of the C( street. The car entered from the direction of Donalds and passed up OI street in the direction of Helton. This jr was undoubtedly a tour of inspection There were several who heard the explosion and the automobile as it passed out of town between 1 and 2 o'clock. An automobile carrying three men was also seen to pass through Helton about 2 o'clock. The robbers entered the offi'-e by the front window and knocked the ^ combination off the safe and with a al monkey wrench which had been pro- D cured from a blacksmith shop here f>( and which was left in the oflice. The 0 safe was covered with an old carpet a: which had been taken from the yard g of Pete Smith, where the wrench was procured. The two laprobes f( wore also used which were wet before t] the charge was set off. The glass of t; the windows and office fixtures shows (| no sign of a crack from the impact of the explosion. A large hole was blown through the door of the safe and the cash register was prized open. It was evidently the work of professionals and they did an exceedingly smooth job.
