The water was, we are informed,
nearly foot deep across Pocotaligo
causeway last Saturday. Nothing but
the bridges was to be seen, and in
some places some of the boards. on
them were floating. One very exas-
perated citizen came in town and
tackled county commissioner Horton
about the dam, we mean the causeway
dam, and wanted to get up crowd to
90 down and cut the railroad cause
way. 1t is said that this railroad
causeway is one Of the causes Of the
water backing and injuring the cause
way; but, on the other hand, we have
been told that the railroad causeway
has the same number of waterways as
the old causeway, and that they are WI
der. We presume county commissions
Horton will take care ofthe causeway
It has been an unusually and extraor,
dinarily wet season, and this probably
is the cause of the trouble.

think we have something worthy Of be-
ing exhibited to the critical to convince
them that there is prosperity within Claren-

improving in tho works of our hands, and
the works of our heads. Ii this be so, it
becomes us to show that what we claim is
so.
Some of the farmers have some specimen
of fine growth suitable to be put on exhibl-
ton; some have stock of some kind of fine
breed and development it would be well to
show.
Some one in the family perhaps can make
tidy, or do some neat needle work, that
will show skill of some kind. Let US have
all such things there.
Some mechanic can deyisea piece Of work
exhibiting proficiency in lis line.
The Fair begins the l4th Of Sept. in Sum-

good showing, to have something there OF
