the River to Rise.

Macon, Ga, March 13.-Heayy rain
falls along the Ocmulgee river above
Macon are swelling the stream and to-
day it is rising rapidly and according
to Local Weather Observer Mitchell,
it may reach depth of 20 feet by to-

Eighteen feet is the danger line and
if that depth is exceeded by two feet
trouble may be expected along the
lowlands that skirt the Ocmuigee
banks below this city. Yesterday the
river was rising and this morning it
dropped little. At 10 O'Clock this
morning it began climbing again as
the tributaries above the city were
then pouring their swollen streams in
to the larger stream.
In the neighborhood of Griffin and
points east of that city the rainfall
has been unusually heavy and as soon
as the creeks carry the water to the
Ocmulgee it will begin rising rapidly.
