DeKalb County in 1914, 100 Years Ago-- Part 2: "Muzzle Their Exhausts"

December 1914, 100  years ago.

There is a new 8-inch crack in the Kirkland School bell.

"A lot of people are coughing, blowing their noses and sneezing these days, and people at public gatherings feel like suggesting the afflicted "muzzle their exhausts."

A cold wave hit Monday.  Suddenly, in 24 hours, the moderate weather went from 38 degrees to 9 below zero.  Last winter's cold did not hit until February.
