Of vino.
Husbandry was an unaccustomed
pursuit to this soldier. and his efforts
to guide the mules and hold the plow
in the furrow resulted in zigzag and
serpentine rows.
General Macarthur went out to iu-
spect the work.
"see here" said he to the soldier,
what do you mean by that kind OF
business?" pointing to the crazy fur
rows.

Large Crowd Viewed the Duck.

| All day Sunday large crowds of in
terested spectators thronged the banks
OF the river and watched the angry
waters. Special interest was taken in
the bridge, where efforts were being
carried on to clear away the drift that
continually lodged against the struc-
ture and threatened its safety. At the
middle pier large mass of drift col
lected, and several charges of dynamite
were placed in the debris and set off
an experiment that proved partly
successful in dislodging the drift.
+. Twenty Houses Flooded.
The back waters of Duck River ex-
tended up Helms branch to Burn S
Spring, and within that territory
more than twenty houses were flooded.
Several of the small houses along the
branch have been moved from their
foundation, and in others the water
is up to the roofs McClanahan s tan
yard was completely flooded, the
water rising to the caves of the build
ing. There il good deal of ma
chinery in the building, and the
damage will doubtless be quite severe
At Mt. Lebanon Colored Baptist
church on East eighth street, the
water filled the cellar and came within
an inch or two of the floor Some OF
the occupants of the house on East
Eighth street had to be taken out in
canoes Saturday afternoon.
Over at Riverside a vacant store
house belonging to Horace Rainey was
washed from its foundation across
the pike. The water rose several
feet in Fraser's grocery. but Mr..
Fraser, having realized his danger
had moved most of his
stock where it could not be injured.
Mr.. Fraser's residence was also
flooded. and the water got over the
stills in A. L. Blocker's brick
residence.

A Medicine That Will
Cure Cases of Catarrh
Of Long Standing De-
serves a Very Hig n
Place in the Annals Of
Medical Discovery.
Such a Medicine is
Peruna.

THOUSANDS of testimonials are
pouring in every day of old cases
Of chronic catarrh that have re-
sisted all treatment for years, being
promptly and permanently cured by
Peruna.
These reports do not all come from
obscure places, signed by obscure peo-
ple. A large proportion of these letters
are written by men and women prom1-
nent in business and professional cir
Giles and many of them well known from
ocean to ocean.
Colonel John Franklin Waters occu-
pies q prominent position among the
leading trial lawyers of Chicago. lie
has probably obtained more verdicts
against corporations in suits for personal
injuries than any man OF his age IN the
United States, and during his practice
of over fifteen years he has not lost
single case in the Supreme Courts OF
Illinois and Missouri. He is a hard
worker and has the energy OF four men.
For a number of years he had been
afflicted with chronic catarrh and hav-
ing recently been thoroughly cured OF
his old affection, an interview was OBJ
tanned with him by one of our reporters
in which he gave the following state
ment to the public:
(, CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug. 6. 1900.

pleasure to testify to the merits OF

Peruna none had the desired effect.

IAMsPoRr w1rHsTooD THE DEUCE

the iron bridge at this place presented /
grand and somewhat fearful view. Al
far as the eye could see up stream and
down there was great waste of water
with fringe of tree tops waving back
ward and forward along either side.
Great logs and driftwood come plung
ing down, and up the river this side
OF the mill could be seen the roofs of
several small houses which had come
down on the waters from near Ashton s
Mill. An angry flood more than a
fourth of mile swept by with
irresistible force. Thousands of people
visited the river banks Saturday and
Sunday and from all sides could
be heard the remark, 81 never saw
Duck river SO high before" Men ex-
perienceu in the river changes and
moods say this is the worst flood they
have ever seen. Beyond the bridge prob
ably 90 yards beyond Frazier's store
raging current swept across the
pike. The people of Riverside were
completely isolated and could only reach
Columbia by boat.
Ashton's Mill.
Up the river to beyond Ashtons mill,
with the exception of few yards at
Riverside, the pike was completely
covered. The water rose to 40
inches in the second floor of Ash
ton Bros. lower mill building
The boiler and engine was completely
covered.

1t became evident at the pumping
Friday night that the plant
was in danger. Water reached the
