Once in Twenty Four Years –

On last Wednesday, 13th March 1867, a heavy snow storm visited this section, and covered the ground to the depth of an inch. At night ice formed to the thickness of 2-1/2 inches. This is the first time such a spell of weather has visited Hardeman so late in the season since 1843, on which occasion snow fell sufficient to cover the ground.
