There are few snow-drifts remaining in
shady places along the roads and keep them
very muddy. Several pieces of road were not
open for travel until after the middle of last

upper end OF the county at certain times in the
year, as the taxable basis is too small to keep
the 200 miles of roads in the 9th and 9TH dis
tricts in anything like good shape.
Wheat and rye fields were covered with snow
