The sixth consecutive snow is fall
ing today and it is prophesied by one
of our colored friends that 13 snows
will fall before this sna is entirely

enough to prevent thawing and the

Berry Best, one of our local coal
dealers, states that he has received a
car load of slack coal that he will
sell out at actual cost to him, which
is $5.50 per ton, but you will have
to make your own deliveries. This is
done to relieve the suffering as far
as possible, and slack is better than
no coal at all. Mr. Best also stated
he had two cars of lump coal at
Brinkley, which he expected any day
the Rock Island would bring it, and
this he will sell at only five hundred
pounds to the family.

SHIPMENTS POSTPONED.
Because of the snow Saturday
which prevented the standard com
mittee from meeting, the shipment
will be postponed for another week,
thus giving the working units a
chance to finish the work begun.
While the snow is deep, it is not
impossible to get out and it is hoped
that every woman who has the inter
est of this work at heart will make
it a point to be on hand. Remember
the work room is well heated and
comfortable and, while it is summer
in the work room, it is winter in the
trenches.
