most destructive flood here Saturday

twenty years and perhaps fifty OF
more. This creek was one foot higher

water In May and only four miles

very little at daylight, but the rain
fell so fast that by nine o'clock the
water was at the highest and some
of the families ate their breakfast by
lamp light. between six and seven
o'block it was so dark. Your reporter
has been here twenty years and never
saw anotbing like il in that time,
and people who have been here three
times twenty years say they never
saw any thing like it. 1t would be
| useless to try To estimate the dam
age, but it would be .safe to say that
at least two hvndred panels OF fence
was washed out in the first mile
