EPITAME OF DOGWOOD The beauty that a dogwood tree can take on is more than
amply illustrated by the latest BCABC pick for Beauty Spot of the Week. The dogwood, at the
home of the H. M. Fletchers on Third Street in Jackson, majestically bathes the Fletcher home
in blossoming beauty each year. Photo by Jerry McLaurin.

minute.”

23 degrees in 24 hours on
March 31-to-April 1. It was 65
at 6 a m. on Wednesday and
42 on Thursday morning.
We had an unusally wet
March, with rain occurring
on 11 of the 31 days. Most of
the 10.25 inches of rain
recorded at Deer Trail Golf
Club fell in a six-day period
from the 12th through the
16th, when we recorded 7.3
inches. When March 9th is

included, a total of 8.15
inches fell in an eight-day
period.
The 10.25 inches in March
gave the County 16.76 for the
year. Last year at the same
time, rainfall here totaled
20.94.
The coldest day at Deer
Trail in 1976 was January
19th when the temperature
registered a shivering eight
degrees. On February 14
(Valentine’s Day) it was 80
degrees at 4 p.m.
An interesting note on the
1974 weather scene. The
temperature soared to 100
degrees on August 27, 1974
and it has not reached that
height since.
That’s it for now. We’ll
talk to you in May about the
April showers?
