low the suface. The oldest inhabitants.
| plumbers included, do not remember
| ever having before seen the earth in this
| latitude frozen ten inches below the sur
| face. Many pipes are still frozen ana
| there Is no telling when our citizens Will
be in the enjoyment Of their wonted sup
ply Of the aqueous element. En- PEASANT,
| il is a fortunate circumstance for the city
| that the two new steam pumps were put
| in the water works last year, otherwise
| the amount of water TO supply the vast
| age caused by the water that was Kept
| running TO keep the pipes open would
have been inadequate. True, the water
motor pumps have not been stopped. but
| they would not have supplied all OF the
| demand. Altogether. Lynchburg is thor
| oughly satisfied with one freeze and
would be satisfied to dispense with anoth
| er this winter.
