The Flood.

One of the highest waters in
this town since 1884, was that
which is just reoeding this Thurs
day morning as we write.
It came into town early Satur-
day evening last, and continued to
rise until Thursday morning, when
it commenced to recede. 1t reach.
ed the SO feet mark.
All the lower end of town from
the court house square down wac
flooded, and all business houses
and dwellings flooded with from
7 TO 10 feet of water.
A good deal of damage was done
but not what has been the result
heretofore, because people had
learned by experience to prepare
for this flood.
Our merchants are not very
heavy sufferers, because they NOV
ed their goods early, but still the
loss to them is considerable in
damage to goods and loss of sales
Probably the heaviest looser in
our town is the Mountain State
Brick and Tile Works, whose
losses are estimated at between
$4,000 and $1,000.
Our people were able to take
care of all the needy food sufferers
and which they did willingly.
