-COvington. Iowa. is a doomed city.
It is situated on q bend of the Missouri
river, the banks of which are being eaten
away. The ground on which the Court
House stood year ago IS now covered
by many feet Of water. The cutting
away is done unevcnly. ON 4 recent
Sunday the current set in shore and
took off a strip Of land thirty feet wide
in d few hours. no IuVasiOus were
made for another week. when another
slice was cut of. Then half q dozen
buildings were moved back thirty feet
and the next day the land on which they
had stood was all gone. The residents
have tried to moor trees and logs to the
bank. in the hope of forming a barrier
for the flood. but the current IS so swift
and the water so deep that these at
temptS have failed.
