There was frost in Worth County in May 1878. The May 9th, 1928 edition of the Worth County Tribune had this and other entries in its “Looking Back” files.
The occasional cold northwest winds within the last two weeks have blighted much of the fruit. A light frost Saturday and Sunday mornings.

Billy Davidson of Smithton met with quite an accident last week. His hired hand was working his team to a harrow, when they became entangled and one of the horse’s legs was broken twice, and one of the teeth of the harrow was thrust through one of the horse’s legs near the fetlock joint. Trying to extricate them, the harrow fell on Billy’s left foot, just back of his toes, and it made a ragged gash. We saw Billy in town the following Monday, and he was getting about pretty well.
