SNOW BLOCKADE

Following the twelve-inch snow
fall on Tuesday night and Wednes-
day of last week, it was swirled about
and piled up in drifts by the high
wind that ragged the next day. Roads
were badly drifted in all sections
and large forces OF men have been
shoveling for days to get them open,
it being necessary in innumerable
places to take to the fields In order
to find way around.
Our rural mail carriers have had
their troubles getting over their
routes with the mail, but conditions
of travel are gradually assuming a
normal aspect.
1t was the winters heaviest
snow,-a real old-timer, and the
blocked roads nearly tied up busi-
ness. Digging out was pastime
that occupied all hands for several
days.
The big snow plow made several
trips over this division OF the
Pennsylvania railroad, Wednesday
night and Thursday, keeping the
road open to travel, and most trains
were able to get through on nearly
schedule time.

DWELLING DESTROYED BY
FIRE

The dwelling on the farm OF
Frank Ansaleish. near Barksdale,
Cecil county, was destroyed by fire
late Sunday afternoon, together
with most of the contents.
Elkton firemen responded to the
alarm, but the drifted condition of
the roads delayed their arrival at
the scene and they could do little
owing to lack of water supply.
The fire is supposed to have been
caused by a defective fiue. Neigh
bors aided the family in getting
some of the funiture out, but most
of the contents were destroyed.
The loss was about $4,000.
