VERY (SPRING-LIKE IN BENTON. Ground Hog Day Samples of Weath er Elsewhere. The weather was . so delightful yesterday that it was the subject of more comment than is usual. Al though the outside atmosphere was somewhat chilly, in the show wind ow of a business house, in which the sun shone brightly, the ther mometer registered 1 16 degrees. Larks were singing merrily in the outskirts of town, and everything seemed quite spring-like. Wednesday was 3round Hog day, but that doesn' t mean much to us since there are no ground hogs here. Besides, even if there were, it is likely he would indulge in habits similar to other animals in this climate. That is to say, if he should emerge from his hole and find the sun shining he would not, like the Eastern ground hog, immediately return and hibernate for an extended period. On the contrary, he would probably re main out and absorb all the winter sunshine possible. That is the rule here among things enjoying as much freedom of action as the ground hog would be presumed to have. , Apropos of the delightful day Frank Francisco was yesterday ex hibiting some photographs taken at Fayette, Iowa recently. They showed the snow to be drifted or piled up almost to the second stor ies of brick buildings. Here are a few samples of weather as reported in Friday's.
