tonight at the Stokes plantation in
Bolivar county, seven miles south of
the Perthshire break, four miles below

add to the distress of the people of

last break is situated SO that the water
flowing through it, added to that of
the Perthshire creyasse; will inundate
ali immense territory and will soon
