The deepest snow in many years is covering the "round in Central Kentucky.. The weather is extreme ly cold, and forecasters give no hope of immediate lelief. Early Thurs day morning, snow began falling and did not cease until late Friday morn ing. It was necessary to make paths "with brooms and shovels be fore the people could make tl from, their residences to the street and to their places of business'. In many place', the snow was drifted to a depth of many feet, and early ped estrians were forced to wade almost knee-deep. Mayor J. A. Hughes had a sledge put to dragging the street? during the morning, and by noon, practically all inconvenience was ov ercome. Country people wqre al most cut off from the city. The citizens should make it a point to follow the example of the mer chants and have the snow cleaned away from in front of their resi dences as soon as possible, in order to prevent its packing and becoming hardened, which would necessarily make the clearing away a more dif ficult task. Dispatches state that while in Chica go the temperature ro-o to 8 degiee above zero and remained at G above, at 9 p. ra, elsewhere in the Middle--west and Northwest the- mercury' level stood from zero to 38 below The coldest points were in the Cana dian northwest.
