contract after November 10. So
if you want current to your
house in the near future it would
be a good idea Co see TvTr. W. M.

it with him before November 10,
The construction of this line is
an e p 0c h in the history of Newton
County and even though the con
has been slow and maybe
the rates and other conditions
may not be all we want them the
fact remains that nearly all of
rural Newton County has avail

period of time passes every farm !
in the county will be in reach of j
electric service.
Bear the fact in mind that The
Snapping Shoals Power and Light
Company is a farm Cooperative,
Any farmer who takes current
from the Corporation is entitled
to membership and this member
ship entitles him to a vote in the
election of directors and officers. I
So if you are interested in your
service and in the county join the
Association and be active in the
operation of the Company’s af
fairs.
It is our understanding that
Mr. V. C. Ellington and Col. R. P.
Campbell are in Washington this

30 additional miles of line. If
they get this practically all the

Weather Forecast For
November Is Announced
Heavy precipitation will play a
leading role in winter weather
this year according to R. D. Pas
chall, prominent weather prognost
icator.
Mr. Paschall’s forecast for No
vember follows in full:
“November should begin with
cold weather — probably freezing
in the southern states. Slightly
warmer on November 3 and 4
should lead to precipitation over
northern sections on the 6th
7th, with colder over the north
western states about November 8.
“General preciiptation about
November 10 should be followed
by colder over the eastern half of
ihe country on the 11th or 12th.
“Warmer about November 13
should be followed by general pre
cipitation between the 13th and
15th — followed by colder over the
eastern half of the country about
November 15th.
“Warmer on November 17 and
18 should be followed by general
and heavy precipitation around the
19th and 20th, with a rather severe
cold wave appearing over the
northwestern states about the 20.
“A fairly severe cold wave for
the season should follow this heavy
precipitatibn around November 22
or 23.
“More general precipitation be
tween November 26 and 29 should
lead to another cold wave on the
29th or 30th, and December should
begin with fair and cold. Heavy
precipitation should be a feature
of the entire winter.”
