Capricious April! It seems that every season of the year contributed a slice or weather to make Monday a day the like of which was never witnessed by any one in this vicinity. The cold was penetrating, making fires very neces sary; and then, April, to keep up her reputation for fickleness, had alter nately wind, rain, snow, sleet and sunshine, and sometimes all came at once. It was a queer sight to look out through snow and sleet and see the trees in full leaf and bushes cov ered with spring’s loveliest roses. The unusual weather wrought no se rious damage in this section —only to cotton. All cotton which had come up will have to be replanted. | Lost, Strayed or Stolen: (One small black Jersey male, witli horns.
