SEPTEMBER WEATHER

During the past month this vicinity enjoyed good weather, deplored bad weather and forgot to pay much attention to indifferent weather. There was one dust storm and one violent wind and rain storm. The temperature was mostly temperate but toward the month’s last syllable began to threaten the reign of King B.V.F. and in several isolated sections froze conversation – but not badly.
