In fact, it is claimed by some of the wise ones who gaze nt the outward signs of the approaching though Invisible winter, that the rec ords for many years will be ecliiMed. Much of the evidence at hand fore telling the hard winter conies from the Indians In the Huckelberry dis tract. Several travelers returning from the hills report that the red men point to many indications in Nature to prove their claims. Notable among the so-called proofs are the follojiiig observations by the Indians: . - The leaves began to fall early this monthV! v, There are yet green pine burrs on thetrees, and these have not fallen. The ripe burrs are filled with nuts. The beavers In the mountain sec tion are leaving the beds of the creeks and are building their homes high up on the banks of the streams. The badgers, which generally stay In the woods during the winters. If they are mild, are going into the mountain valleys. These and many other signs, it Is claimed, point to a severe winter. An Inevitable sign, It Is claimed, of early and hard rains, Is the flight of wild ducks at this season of the year. For several weeks thej birds have been flying southward. It is stated that for this to occur so early In the year Is unprecedented. To cinch the matter for the weath er prophets that a hard winter is on the way, several of the local farmers point to the fact that turkeys which have been killed recently all have a dark colored breastbo;.. This is an old superstition which comes from New Kngland nnd in which many have great faith. It is claimed that when the Thanks giving bird has a light colored breast bone mild weether Is sure to prevail, but when that part of the fowls XOTH'K I'Olt PROPOSALS !
