DALTON.

The greatest flood that has ever been
known in Dalton and vicinity occurred
yesterday. The rapid thaw OF snow
the past few days filed the creeks
which flow through this place up 10 the
top of it's Eatnks by an early hour yes
rerday morning, Soon after daybreak
rain hegan to fall and the remaining
snow quickly melted and torrents of
water rushed down the hillsides SWELL
ing the flow OF the creek so that by
10 o'clock it had overfloWed its banks
AS me minutes passed by the water
continued to rise so that by noon all
the lowlands along the creek were in
undated and buildings situated on
these parts and surrounded with water
We're in imminent danger of being swept
away. People living in one or two
dwellings thus situated quickly moved
out. Theiwater continued to rise until
about $3.50 o'clock when it began to
recede and in the course of an hour it
mad fallen about two feet. The new
stone bridge which was built last fall
at cost of 81 200 and which was the
pride of the town, is now in ruins as
the result of the flood. People were
standing on the bridge watching the
Water rush underneath it and the de-
bris which was being carried along
When suddenly one side of the bridge
gave way and fell into the angry tor
rents below. Moment by moment por-
tions of the roof of the arch cayed in
and the bridge hoon became impossible
until finally communication between
the two sides of the borough were prac-
tically cut off. The water main which
was laid in the bridge at the time 1t
was built was without support when
the arch fell There being indications
that ii would break the water was
turned off and the east side of the
borough was without supply of water
w. IL. smith had II wagon standing
near his barn and it was swept down
the creek and broken into many pieces.
At the rear of Miss Kennedy's place
more than twenty feet of earth was
washed away doing considerable dam
age to their lot. Down ON the turn
pike toward Glenburn the water ran
over the road to a depth of two feet and
more so that travel had to be suspend
ed Great fear was entertained all
the afternoon that the dam of the
Glenburn pond would break but at .
O'Clock 1t was standing apparently
firm, although Il large quantity of Ice
was blocked up against It, From re-
ports great damage has been done TO
roads and bridges in the outlying dis
triCts.
Mrs, Waty Carpenter, of Wallsville,
will celebrate her eighty-seventh
birthday On March 6. All of her
friends and relatives are invited to par
tiClpate in the event.
A quarterly meeting was held in the
Six Principle Baptist church on Sat
urday and Sunday. ON Saturday even
ing an English tea was served in the
rasonage by Rev. and Mrs. Caterer.

JERMYN AND MAYFiELD.

The heavy freshet of the past three
days has done considerable damage in
this vicinity, the most serious, perhaps,
being the flooding of the Glenwood
shaft, which has only been in operation
the past two months, after an idleness
of seven months, caused by the freshet
of last May. The water was several
feet up the shaft last evening. During
the day the big buckets, each holding
about 1000 gallons, which We're used ut
the former flooding, We're again put in
operation, and will be worked day and
night until the water is out.
At Mayfield. scores of houses had
their cellars flooded and the damage
done by the same cause at T. NJ. Hart S
and J. ]. Places stores by the ruin of
stock. will amount to several hundred
dollars.
At Jermyn, the Ontario and Western
railroad track is badly washed and on
Saturday fears We're entertained that
the iron bridge north of the depot would
be washed away. the abutments being
in imminent danger. A force of men
We're put at work during the afternoon
and succeeded in averting the danger
by deposting large stones in the river
near the abutments. The river at this
point where a sharp bend occurs, again
divided itself, a portion of the water
taking Il straight course and flooding
the cellars of Burgess Pendered and his
neighborS, and then passing under
meath the Ontario and Western tracks,
again took its natural channel in the
river.
During Saturday night, the water in
the river and both creeks abated con-
siderably, but the heavy rain, which
lasted almost all day yesterday, caused
another rise and at 6 o'clock last even
ing the river was as high as at any
time during the past three days. Con-
siderable damage has been done to the
bridges and culverts, which have been
partly swept away.
Elmer Henwood, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Couch, of Second street, died at
midnight Saturday. after Il weeks ill
ness of pneumonia. Deceased was ID
years of age, and his death, which is q
hard blow to his parents, is deplored
by number of his companions. The
funeral will take place tomorrow after
noon. Services will be held at the house
by Rev. NJ. d, Fuller, pastor of the
Methodist Episcopal church.

Prof. G.. A. Macon, president of the
Macon j Andrews system of colleges, is
in the city this week delivering a series
of lectures. This Is one of the finest sys-
TENS of schools in the United States
Profs. Macon 4 Andrews are to be com
phmented on their splendid success.
Every year they send out hundreds Of
young men as independent bread winners
Their graduates are filling the highest
position of trust and honor: they have
been unable to supply the demand for
their students. This is due to the high
plane on which this system of business
colleges Is conductcd; thes use no "catch
penny" methods TO attract business, but
simply advertise what they do and do
what they advertise, hence their excellent
success. The city of Meridian and this
entire section of the country are to be
congratulated on having such highly edu-
Gated and accomplished gentlemen in
thier midst. No longer is il necessary TO
send our boys and girls 10 New England
for a thorough business education, but
We have the very best facilities AT cur

splendid system Of colleges and the

says. These schools are all Profs- Ma
