The second snow etorm of the
winter feJd last Monday mom-
cpamriwiliig nhurt^y before
’sleek amf continuing
o'clock. The heaviest
woe just before daylight
when great broad Mm fill
the air and rapidly covered the
ground in Graham to a depth of
dbout eight inches, which m
oqual to one indh rainfall.
The fall was heavier in Gra-
ham than at any other point we
have heard from. At Dallas the
fail was two inches, at Wichita
: Falla, three inches and at Stam-
£ ford thiie inches. Some ofTthe
* snow which foil on the 10th was]
grtiXl on the ground when this
■now fell, a fact that has newer i
bean known here before. ; As we
go to prssw this snicvw has hear
ly ail xqelted and gone into the
eartfc, giving us the heat sefc-
ton in the ground we have had
for many a long month.
On Tuesday morning we ex-
perienced the coLdqet weather
ever reached here, llxe govern
meat thermometer at Judge G.
*W, Johnson's residence in North
Graham, registered twelve below
. Mro at daylight, and the one at
the Ddimea House registered ten
below. According to reports,
Graham was the coldest . place
in the.state that morning. A|
Fort Worth the thermometer
J^uod. at 6 degress abaae jj
the name hour the ones heh> reg-
istered twelve and ten below.
So far. no low of stock has
been reported, although the spell
baa been extremely herd on them

We have physical drill an<{
didactic work each day, with
lectures at night three times a
week. This place is so -hmrnuiao ■
that it requires a week .or* ten
days to find anything- How such
an array could be recruited out
of civil -life with so little fric-
tion is a wonder.
I have nothing <to qcunplain of
so far, but imagine the overseas
trip now being made by many
mroi here is disagreeable.
