Beginning shortly after noon on
last Tuesday evening, and contlnu-
ing throughout the night, the sever
est rain storm on record visited this
locality. Every branch and creek in
the country broke all previous record
both as to the rapidity of current
and of the rise. The gauge at Clln-
ton showed a fall Of four and one
halfinches in three hours, Tuesday
evening. The fall was equal here,
and much heavier during he night
than during the evening We believe,
Judging from the best means avail
able, that the ram fall IL this place,
during fourteen hours, exceeded
eight Inches.
Thompson's Creek, this week,
broke all previous records. The
volume of water passing at one time
almost equalled that of the Missis-
sipol River. In fact we have cross
ed that river when its volume did not
begin to equal that of Thompson's
Greek, on this occasion. The cur
rent was extremely swift. and car

Three of the Cumberland's tele
phone poles, which were supposed
to be SO securely set and anchored
as TO withstand any possible flood,

snapped like mere strings. 1t Is

A system of good turnpikes or
even of the modern well drained
and well kept dirt road, constructed
according TO scientific engineering
principles, would be worth more
than an extra barrel Of corn or a
fraction of a bale of cotton to the
acre, says the Springfield { Mo. } Re
publican. With easy and cheap
transportation every pound of
marketable value would be gathered
and sold, and not left to rot IN the
fields, as ls too often the case now.
Besides this, country life would be
made more attractive and the value
of real estate would advance.
