Those of us who have cherished "hard -feelings" , against February, who have thought' it a cold, heart- less month and have heft glad that there was no more of it; are having to change our ininds this yeat, The sarcastic explanation of the ab- breviation Feb, as• meaning "Freeze Everybody,"; d 0 0 5 0% t seem to flt, February has at last shown that it has a heart, January, oh"which wo have learned to depend to. bring us a thaw and a few mild days, blew• in and blew out this year without a sign of softening, each day,colder than the last and it took February a few days to pull herself 'together and decidt to break a record and bring. on a series of soft spells, As a natter of fact the months have been sort of mis- placed since August last. We bad September weather in August, Octob- er weather in -September, and'so on i h tothe' resent. It is to e' right p 1 hoped that something will happen to break the spell before going 'too far for; while nobody objects to having Mar-. ch weather in February; or April rcii weather in l4Ia we do not want to have September woather in- aug- ust again and October weather in ;Selitentber. "Anyway, the mild weather we've had during the past couple of weeks, while it has spoiled the sleighing in a good many, plaees, rias done much to case up the feel situation. (Since the above was written it hastknz up" batt „and fast, Feb, ist not to be depended on.) 'IOCI{EY _&GAIN The first game or the Town Hockey Leaue was playedon Wednesday ev- ening - euing of last week when the 1C.0 T team won from the 1'aattane Cieb ul a•sed a of 6-4. The Pastime team was made up for' the most part of 'old players, who knew the game, and they: per, baps imagined that a' victory over the "IClds" would be easy. But one lthings never can tell how he -a• e t cs g to going, The game was a bit rough. Kitty was the stat of the C. G. I, team and Illiliott did good work for the Pastemexs.

The second game' or the town lea- gue was played, oft in the link last night and is said by some who wit- nessed it to have been the fastest• game played In Clinton this season, The Doher:tys played the Pastime Club, the score standing at 7-4 in favor of the pian» nictitate, Ai the end of the, first quartet the . score stood 8-2 in favor of the Doherty team. By . the endof the mixt rho lesstitne.rs had palled tip and the same stood 4; all but during the last petliel the poles letterss-and iblisbers had scored three mote goals and •thus "polished oft" their onpeucuts.

Libby, the genial and Popular manager of the Clinton Knit- ting Co., has purchased the hand- some residence of Mrs. Janes Twit- chell on Rattenbury 'street. The purchase of a place of residence seems to- indicate. that i11r, and ili'rs. Libby intend making their permanent home here and their many friends are very glad that this is so. The house in question is one of the most com- fortable and in town a tv d is admirably situated and Mt. -Libby Is to be con- gratulated upon his purchase. 'i'lte only regret is. that 1t probable means that Ilirs. Twitchell and her estim- able family will leave the town in which they have resided so long. As one after another of her family has removed from town, however, Mrs. Twitehcll has been. contemplating taking up residence elsewhere for some little time.
