Wheeling creek gave an exhibition
of its distinctive powers when on a
rampage) last week. Just west of
Leatherwood and near the mouth of
Woods run. there is quite a bend in
the creek While the torrent was at its
worst sort Of whirlpool formed at a
point where an old sycamore tree stood.
In fact, it has been a landmark for
nearly a century. This solitary and
ancient representative of what might
have been a great forest, was right in
the vortex of the angry eddy, and it
didn't take long to gouge out the earth
which protected its deep and massive
roots. When the water subsidized the
noble tree had disappeared and in lieu
OF it was hole in the creek bank large
enough to hide small dwelling.
