The hardest snow storm ever known
here, visited this section 4 week ago,
and since then we have been cut OF
from the outside world by the snow
blockade, all roads and lanes being
drifted full, stopping all travel and
business OF all kiDSs; but some ener-
getic ones are determined not to be
shut off entirely, and have broken the
roads from neighbor to neighbor, and
several turned out one day last week
and broke the road from here to the
State road, so we can get to Wadena
to get supplies, which, by the way,
began to get rather scarce here.
Mr.. futile has his mill ready for
operation now and has large supply
OF logs on hand.
Miss Haywood will start for her
home some time this week to engage
in business with her father.
AS ':1ncog" has referred to me for
my experience in raising Amber cane
will briefly state it. Last season l
planted about one-half acre on good
soil and in good season, and after it
came up and got about large enough
for the first hoeing, Il very heavy rain
came on. and it being on a side hill,
the rain>washed the soil from the hill
and entirely; covered up all the cane
so deep that it never made it's appear
ance again. Then took my team and
dragged the ground over and planted
it to beans and raised from the piece
about six bashels of nice beans, which
I traded to Messrs. Staples & Lovelace
for syrup, mot Amber cane syrup)and
] think l made money in the opera
