On last Thursday evening just
at dusk the old carriage factory
west of the railroad departed this
life with a great crashing of falling
of timbers. Thus perishes another
land mark of Bolivar. This build
ing was erected in 1857 and was
used by Messrs. Paul and Waywick
as carriage factory.
The enormous rainfall of the
present week has proven disasterous
to some of the levies and bridges of
the county. The levee on the Boil
ivar and WhiteVille road at Hull's
mill was considerably damaged.
The bridge at Franklin's mill,
on the Bolivar and Brownsville road
and another on the Denmark and
Bolivar road, the last two being
near Cloverport were washed from
their mornings. About 25 or 80 feet
of the lower Cloverport levee was
destroyed. Nothing less than iron
bridges could withstand the swollen
streams in their turbulent onward
flow.
j. Newsom, Esq, who resides
near Cedar Chapel, informed us
that kettle which will hold Is gal

from the clouds. We are glad to
state that the western portion of the
4th district was not washed away,
however.
