Buildings After Transfer
"Miller's Row," a group of frame

necessary. It was pointed out that
during the last three years there has,

Weather Prophet Foresees
Changeable, Open Winter
J. W. Neff, the Relay, York County,,
weathei prophet, who has been be-fore
the public for some years on ac-count
of his forecasts for the winter,
has announced that we are to have a
mild winter this year.
He forecasts in this way:
"According to St. Michael's Day we
will have changeable winter weather.
The wind that day changed three
times, from north to south and then
to east.
"This indicates to me that when
winter starts it will be cold for a
few weeks and then we will have a
spell of warm weather.
"Their there's the hickory nuts and
acorns.
"This year there weren't any to
speak of, so we can expect an open
winter.
"Of course there will be cold again.
I believe we are going to have a lot
of mud this winter. The ground won't
stay frozen very long at a time.
"Winter is not here yet, however."
