Snow or rain is the predic tion for tonight and Saturday.

The women of the city were busy this forenoon sweeping the snow off sidewalks around homes, as the men folks on leaving this morning for their work were so overcome with surprise at the sight of the snow and Christmas anticipation that they never noticed the necessity of wield ing shovels and brooms?
