ROADS STILL IN A BAD SHAPE.
Neither Central Nor Seaboard Can
Run Through.

Both the Seaboard and Central Bail
roads are knocked out by the floods,
and neither line can now operate
through trains on this division. The
Central cuts out at Oglethorpe on the
south and Montezuma on the north
side of Flint River, and not even q
transfer can be made.
The Seaboard runs through to some
point near Hurtsboro, Ala. and trans.
fers passengers for Montgomery.
The Central is hardest hit, it would
seem, by the loss of portion of its
river trestle and 1873 feet of embank.
ment at Flint River, and it will be a
day or two yet ere trains run through.

La Gr1ppe Quickly Cured.

TRACK is BURIED BY
WIDE REACH OF RIVER,
MOntezuma Seemed Modern Venice
Yesterday.
SPREAD TO TWO CITIES.
Stores Inundated and Great Property
Loss Sustained Stocks of Goods
Submerged and Ruined County
Bridge is Swept Away Like Chaff.

While Americus suffered somewhat t
from the recent flood the loss here is
not to be compared with that at Mon
tezuma, our neighbor twenty miles
away, where the muddy waters OF
Flint river have spread out for two
miles, inundating the city and leaving
destruction in it's wake.
The situation there yesterday and
on Sunday was deplorable
The mad waters from the river a
mile away had backed into the city,
inundating the business portion and
doing great damage. the water being
several feet in depth on Main street.
Stores and easements were flooded
and stocks of goods ruined wherever
the muddy torrent touched them. 1t
was anything than "a day of rest" and
people worked to save their property
from loss. Laborers worked IN water
waist deep to save goods in the stores.
Five and six dollars day was paid
negroes who would thus work.
Mr.. A. G. Duncan, of Americus, has
large dry goods store on the main
street in Montezuma. The water
stood two feet deep in his store, but
the stock was saved without damage.
Others were less fortunate and will
lose heavily by the food.
Boats were brought into requisition
and the little Georgia city looked like
modern Venice as the people rode in
batteaux, gondola like, up and down
the streets. A boat line to Oglethorpe
was established and all travel between
the two cities yesterday was by boat.
One dollar each way was the mod
est (?) price of passage.
The entire distance between the two
towns, two miles, was one sea of mud
dy water in the centre of which, like
an angry monster of the deep, ran the
swift current of Flint River.
The new bridge built by the county
was dashed into toothpicks, not yes
tige of it remaining. The trestIe of
the Central Railroad was under water,
while long stretches of embankment
were carried away, leaving the rails
and crosstie swinging in mldair
hopeless wreck.
Many thrilling escapes were made
by parties who crossed the river IN
boats.
A travelling man in Americus yes
terdsy said that he paid ''gondolier"
So for round trip. The boat lost an
oar lock in midstream and came near
being dashed to pieces.
Attempts to work upon the railroad
bridge and embankments yesterday
amounted to little. Bags of sand
thrown into the crevasse were hurled
out by the current as if they were but
chaff Ii may be two or three days
yet ere trains can cross over.
It is the worst experience Montezu-
ma has ever known from food stand
point. No trains have passed there
since Saturday,

A GREAT DELAY IN THE MAILS,
AmerIcus Is Inconvenienced By the
Washouts.

Americus has received but little mail
since Saturday, owing to the washouts
on railroads in this section of the state
and the discontinuance of mail trains.
None of the Oentral's trains from Ma
con and Atlanta could be operated to
Anericus Yesterday on Sunday, and
ell mail from these cities, as well as
the northern and eastern mails, were
thus shut out. It is hoped that trans
fers may be made at the Flint River
bridge today, or Selse the mails sent
round by Columbus or Savannah.

Great Memories,

Otto Schultze, stenographer, wrote
In the Brandenburg Schulblatt that
Bismarck had a wonderful memory.
"When he had delivered q two hours
speech and looked over our shorthand
reports the next day, he remembered
every expression he had used exactly
and did not forget them for years"
The novelist Spielhagen once told

spoken by casual acquaintances, to-
gether with their gestures and the cut
