Of country roads of the season. The snow
began falling about 10 O'Clock on Saturday
and so furiously did it drive down through
out the day that by nightfall 8 to 10 inches
had been added to the immense body of snow
already on the ground. Clearing weather
with high winds followed, and during Sun
day and Sunday night the snow was piled up
on the hill roads in a way to fulfil to the let

over that route since Saturday. The block
ade on the Jacksonville line was nearly as
elfectual Wednesday noon bringing the first
mail from that point since Saturday. Re-
ports from all sections of the county show
that all the hill roads were rendered entirely
impossible for the time being. The narrow
