FLOWERSVILLE

Charleston, Feb. 1- The coldest wave of the season struck here Friday, The temperatures being fifty-five Friday afternoon and Sunday night it was eight above zero. We have heard the astronomers say that since the great earth quakes that we were 360 miles south, and we sure did feel that way last week for we could sit around the house with out fire and with the doors open till late bed-time, But since the cold wave has struck us we feel like we are 360 miles north.
