COUNTY ROADS
There are some 120 miles of
county roads in IJarlon county
at this time which are supposed
lo be dragged after a bad spell of
weather. At this time these roads
are reported in pretty bad shape
and comparatively few of them
have been touched by the drags.
The parties who are supposed to
do this work have been named
by the county commissioners and
are to receive Sfl per mile for do
ing the work. It is certainly a
matter of importance to every
body that this work be done.
These roads very largely connect
the towns of the county and there
is hardly anyone who will not be
in some measure benefitted by
their being kept in order.
WAS HIT HARD.
Many thousands of dollars
worth of horses have died in Bar
ton county the past month from

no equity of distribution in the
case of Frank Nordman, who lives
four miles northwest of Heizer.
Up to last Wednesday he had
lost eight head of horses and there
were eight others reported sick. I
