The Week.

OHIO River Valley; GEORGIA; UNITED States

The article reports social news related to the United States. Heavy snows and extreme cold weather throughout the Northwest, and heavy rains and floods in the Ohio Valley, have seriously interfered with all traffic and industry during the past week. Thus far the damage from the floods has not been so great as might have been apprehended, but their full effects have not yet been felt. The celebration of the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of Georgia, which began on Monday at Savannah, would be interesting merely as the commemoration of an historical event, but is far more so from the fact that during the latter part of the third half-century since her birth Georgia has undergone what might be described as a second birth.
