A Gentleman from Waverly Tells
Of the Damage Done by

Last evening gentleman arrived from
Wayerly, Mo, a town situated near the
west line of Saline comfy and eight miles
south of the Chicago & Alton railroad. He
said:
"Waverly is in the center of the bes,
wheat and corn country in the state, and
the damage done in the river bottoms by
the foods has been fearful. Thousands OF
acres have been submerged. Farmers have
lost, in addition TO their growing crops,
large amounts of stock, including sheep,
hogs, mules and horses. 1t will be dificult
to reap the wheat located on the high
lands, as the ground has been completely
soaked. Anticipating the difficulty threat.
enine them, the farmers have telegraphed
to St. Louis for cradles to cut their grain,
and carload Of the agricultural imple-
ments demanded have already been ship
ped to them. Mr.. B. Thomas lost every.
thing he possessed, Including his house,
which was washed away. He found it nee
essary to remove his family to . place OF
safety in skif. Many Of the people liv.
ing in the vicinity of Waverly found it
necessary to escape to the bluffs without at.
tempting to save anything except the
clothes on their backs. If the water goes
down rapidly, the people declare il will he
impossible for them to live in the bottoms
during the remainder of the summer, owing
tn the stencil that will arise from water
soaked and decaved vegetation. Some of
them even declared they thought they
would be compelled to look to charitable
sources for assistance, as they had lost ev-
erything they possessed" Said the mar
rator to the reporter: at would be impcs-
sible for me to describe the suffering now
being endured BY the food sufferers in Sa-

Nearest His Heart.

Full tender beamed the light Of love down from his
manly face
As he pressed her to his bosom in feryent fond
embrace;
No cost of others happiness found place within his
thought;
The weakness Of lifes brittle thread no dim fore
bodings brought
But tenderer than the light Ct love, more brittle
than LIES thread,
The shrouds that wrapped two other hearts gave up
their withered dead;
For crumbng in his walstcoat, heir glowing future
dashed.
Two excellent Havanas were very badly mashed.
