Snow Storm - The snow storm the first of the week was the worst experienced in this section so early in the winter, or rather late in the fall, in many years. It is said that along the Atlantic coast it was nearly as bad as the fierce storm of 1888. Railroad traffic and telephone communication was greatly hampered and on some roads, as was in the case of the D. L.& W. over the Pocono mountains, snowplows were required to clear the tracks. In Montrose the first train over the Lehigh Valley did not reach here Monday until about 2 p.m., owing to the snow drifts, and returning reached Tunkhannock at about 4 o'clock. The roads through the surrounding country were many of them blocked with snow, necessitating shoveling in order to get through. The temperature, on Wednesday, registered 17 degrees above zero at 7 a.m. At Silver Lake, the mail carrier, A. Foster, had to come through fields part of the way from Laurel Lake on account of snow drifts on Monday. The direct road to Binghamton also had to be shoveled out. This is quite an unusual experience this early in November.

Jackson - To Miss Matie Curtis belongs the proud distinction of being the first lady of Jackson to exercise the right of suffrage.

We noted at the polls Charles Hazen, aged 89, A. B. Larrabee and Alvin W. Barrett, 87, and Orin Mattison, 84. Messrs. Barrett and Larrabee have voted for 16 Presidential candidates, beginning with Wm. H. Harrison in 1840, a period of 64 years, and Mr. Barrett has voted at every State election during this period. He is the father of Hon. A. C. Barrett, re-elected to the Pennsylvania legislature. All the above voted for Freeman in 1856. Mr. Matteson is a G. A. R. man and the oldest member of the Myron French Post, here.
