Columbia County Citizen: Alligator
lake, or "the Big lake." the largest in this
section, is lower than known for a long
time, three-fOurths of its area being now
but an expanse Of muck. This is of the
richest quality, and enough OF it Is there to
run capacious fertilizer factory for many
years. Hundreds of acres OF lake bottom
are now dry land. About the edges are
| thousands Of pearly shelled mussels. The
| subsistence of the water has been gradual,
SO that there has been no destruction Of fish
| except crowding. A few more months like
the three years just past will leave the great
lake entirely dry, save for the sinks.
