tbe Sunny South:
Tbe cold weather which began a
week ago last Thursday night and
continued till tbe final part of Ibis
week hot had no parallel in tbia
country for tbe post twenty-flve
yearn. It was proceeded by heavy
tall* of snow, nnd on Thursday
night the thermometer began stead
ily to drop til) tbe mercury marked j
below zero. At midnight, on Fri- i
day the thermometer dropped to j
3j° below zero, and at eight o’clock j
on Saturday morning a thermome- j
tar banging to a tree in tbe north ,
end of town marked 24°, although
others fn the city ranged as low os
88°. On Friday ni ght plants froze
in rooms where a blszine fire was
kept up in the stove*, and it was
with difficulty that one could keep
warm in Dcd even with n fire in the
room nnd extra covering on the
bed. The trains from the north on
the main line of the Illinois Cen
tral road were stuck in the snow
drill*, and for two days no mail
Inins arrived at Clinton. The same
condition ot affairs existed on the
Springfield division of the Central,
nnd for two days no mails came
from tlmt direction. Three engines
were stuck in the anow drift near j
Guthrie, and it was not till late on i
Saturday night tlmt the road was -
opened and the trains were aole to |
get out. For three days Clinton ;
was cut off from Chicago entirely j
by the mail route, and neither let- ■ Wt

did their letters, and it did seem j
as though there was to be an intel
lectual famine. A train of thirty
car* of stock got snowed in on the
Wabash road, near Chicago, on
Friday evening, and all that night
the cattle and lioga were compelled
to stand in the cars to suffer from
cold and hunger. A number of
cattle were found frozen dead tlic
next morning.nnd others had lobe
killed to put them out of their
misery. Last Friday night, and
indued all the days included in that
storm, will long be remembered.

Winter is hcru at last, and has
come to stay. January, Febunry
and March are always our coldest
months, and April is as cold as
And therein lies the secret ol
Atlanta’s wonderful growth and
prosperity. Unity of action will
do more to build up n city than ag
gregated wealth. Capital ia good,
bat energy, enterprise nnd lmr
mony among a people arc belter
aad brill accomplish greater results.
This tbe age of colossal enter
prise. Just on tho heels of the dis
patch stating tlmt the Denver nnd
Rio Grnnde Railway Compauy Imd
filed a fifty million doll-r mortgage
ia favor of tbe Union Trust Com
pany, comes the news that the
BafiiUo, New York and Fliiladcl
phis Railroad has given the Fideli
ty Insurance Trust and Safe De
posit Company a mortgage for
twenty-five million dollars.-Albany

Yet, and it will also be an ngc
of col ossa 1 failures. Mortgages
may be an evidence of wealth and
enterprise, but they aro poor evi
dences of prosperity.
