/ Valuable bottom farms that had not
, been Overtowed during the memory Of
man were now swept by the raging
. torrents. and fences and soil carried
away and channels and cutters washed

/ Notwithstanding their losses. the farm
ers in Reynolds county are rebuilding
their fences rapidly and blowing their
corn. Oats are looking well There Il

Mr.. /. J. Gioya1Oni had narrow
escape from death by drowning, while
fishing with party Of friends at Iron
Mountain on Friday last. While row
ing n Il boat he suddenly became IN
conscious. tODpled over and fell in the
water. The only other occupant of the
boat was Walter Fisher. who made
grab for Mr. GiOvanOni and in so doing
the boat was overturned. Mr.. Fisher,
however. succeeded in grasping Mr..
GiOvanoni around the collar and by
dint OF energy. succeeded in making
his way TO the bank about twenty feet
distant. There. by grasping project
ing bush. he managed to keep himself
and burden above water until some OF
the other parties in the crowd came to
his assistance II was fully five min
Utes after reaching the land before Mr..
Giovanoni regained consciousness. but
short time thereafter he was fIlly
recovered. The attack was probably
,uperinduced by the sun which was
very warm that day. The water where
the boat capsized and all the way to
the bank was fully eight feet deep. and
had it not been that Mr.. Fisher was
good swimmer. and possessed of Il cool
head. the result would most probably
have been fatal.

house Monday evening. DR.. 1eaman /
Is one OF the most eloquent men in the .
