Lady visitors, was introduced by her to
her daughter, and also, and to his great
surprise. when he heard her name, to

An exchange says that an old citizen
OF Randolph visited Ashboro, N. O., last
week, for the first time since 1861. He
looked around wildly, saying he did OF

Heroic Conduct Of a Boy

The recent rains that caused the
:" big rise in the rivers'and creeks in
North Georgia flooded Rome and
washed away fences and Mill dams,
and caused two creeks near the town
Of Rockmart, in Polk county, to over
run their banks and sweep off all b BE-
fore the surging stream. The two
creeks united. Near the junction,
on the farm Of Colonel Seaborn, Jones,
was a small wooden house inhabited
by, Mrs! Moerer a'widowrladyraand
her children The house was situated
near the bank of the creek. In
rear, and. between the house and a
neighbor's, was an old slough,' made
by some former rise in the creeks,
but passtble ON NIL ordinary occasions.
The waterabove the confluence of
the two streams carriednaway Several
milldams, and came down in huge
wave at night. = The voice made'by
the mad, roaring, - foaming current
aroused Mrs. Moore. " On going to
the door, to" her establishment, she
found the water in the. yard, and 'sp-
parently rising with great rapidity.
Not palsing to think, but dreading
being carried away in tie house
down stream, she sought safety in
fight, But the slough was filed
with a stream Of water pouring down
with great velocity Over on the
other shore was the house Of p neigh
Dor. If she could reach that ,shs
would be- safe. II Her. Oldest boy, a.
lad of some thirteen OF. fourteen years
of age, being an expert SWIMMER,
