On The RuIlpaSture.

New Salem, Va, Mar 3.-On
last Friday morning the people
awoke to find the river changed to
a rushing torrent, sweeping every
thing before it. Doing considera-
bic damage to the farmers i'll this
section, also washing away the
road i'm some places making it al
most impossible.
The river was fully as high as
during the Johnstown flood 1889.

On last Friday morning Feb. q
"A gloom Of sadness spread rapid
~ through Our community on
learning that William NJ. Pullin
who had been sick for more than
two years with that dreaded disease
consumption was dead. Although
he had been in bad health for some
time. but not until about one week
before his death did we think his
end so near. He bore bis sickness
patiently and was fully prepared
for death when God gave the sum-
mons. His death is sad when We
think Of one like billie" just III
tae prime of life to be snalcaed
from among US, "But Gods vii
be done" He has left manv sweet
consultations behind him to all his
friends and loved ones. We know
he is free from all p4in and suffer
ing and has crossed over the river
to meet lis loved ones who have
gone on before. Saturday after
noon Il short service was held at
the home Of his mother by Rev. NJ
p. WeikIe, and afterwards his re-
mains were laid to rest in the Pull
Inns grave yard by the side Of his
father who preceded him not quite
one year ago. We extend to the
family our heartfelt sympathy in
this their sad affection.

Highland recorder. (Monterey, Highland County, Va.) 1877-1972, 1902-03-07

The terrible food which visited
this section on Saturday night last,
causing a general break up and let
90 of snow, ice and freeze, bias done
many things, but one in particular
is that it has brought to a sudden
close a controversy on roads between
the Bath county News and the
Highland Recorder. The News
contended that Bath county had
better roads than Highland. We
held to the ground that the Bath
editor did not have smoothe surface
enough in Bath county, especially
in the public roads, on which to
base such an assertion, and that
therefore Highland county could
show up more miles Of real good,
buggy-riding road than Bath. But,
as we started out to say, the hood
has settled it all. Highland has
no roads left and if brother Payne
don't come out square and say the
same thing about Bath the contro-
versy will be Oh again,
When we heard Of the great de-
struction to the roads of the coun-
ty, we had half an idea to try
brother Payne's advice and dream
about it a little, but We don't be-
lieve that would help matters
much. Our Board Of Super! iSors
are road men and know what good
roads can do for q county, and just
as we'll do they know what Lad
roads can do for a county. They
know too that those whom they
represent and who foot The bills
are favorable, almost to d man, WE
believe, to good roads, and we are
willing to leave the matter in thelI
hands, feeling that they will do the
best that they can under the cir
cum3tances.

Thinking perhaps a note from
