HORRORS OF The FLOOD
As Experienced by the Wife Of Con-
gresham John ". Langley.

Mrs. Langley, wife of Congress
man John W. Langley, was visiting
at the home of Mr.. Langley's moth
er. at Spurlock. Floyd county, on
the night the terrible washOut was
visited on the people of the Up
per Middle creek and Licking riv-
er sections. and relates a most har-
rowing experience
THIS occurred on Sunday night,
June 26, which was the night OF
the cloudburst on Licking river
and Middle creek. There was not a
man about the Langley premises on
that night. who might have reliev-
ed the situation just she, her lit
tie daughter Katharine, the elder
Mrs. Langley and a servant girl. At
3 a. NJ. Mrs. Langley was awakened
bv her mOther-in-law coming to
her room and telling her they were
all about to be swept away. The
Langley home is in a valley, and
when she got out of her room clad
only in her night apparel, she saw
BY the flashes OF lightning that the
house was surrounded by water.
She rushed to the front door, Op-
ened it and was swept from her
feet by the wild rush of waters that
swept in at that instant. Retaining
remarkable presence of mind. she
scrambled to her feet, gave little
Katharine to the maid, grasped her
mother-in-law by the arm and head
ed for the barn, which was on a
promOntory above the house, and
swirling water coming near taking
them off their feet many times.
The house by this time being filled
to quite a depth. They reached
the barn and succeeded in bring
ing a horse and COW, belonging
u lut llOhl NAlN ~
low. Her own fine horse Kingston
followed trying to soOthe her by
rubbing her with his nose and
nickering knowingly just as though
he understood the situation. BY
the flashes of lightning they saw
all kinds of debris, houses, stores
horses, cattle and many other things
+ which showed that terrible havoc
had been wrought. And, worst oi
all they plainly saw the dead body
OF a little six-year-old child, which
was doubtless that of the missing
Gayheart child. The Langley home
was partially shaken from its foun-
dation, but was not swept away,
the furnishings we're all submerged
and everything left in bad condi-
tion. .....

Friction in School Matters.

Pikeville, Ky. July 22.--There
is considerable contention in re-
gard TO the public school. Prof. T.
NJ. Riddle and his assistant, who
had charge of the school the week
prior to the institute, and had been
hired by the Hatcher and PinsOn
wing OF the board of trustees, were
commanded by the other wing to
surrender the school to Mrs. r. W.
Elliott and her assistant. They
opened the session as usual this
morning, and Mrs Elliot and her
assistant also appeared on the scene
and endeavored to assume conrtol,
but soon gave up and left the
building, saying they would resort
to the law. Prof Riddle, who is
in charge. has had charge of the
public school here for many years,
and is doubtless the foremost schol-
ar in the county, with the excep-
ton Of his brother, Prof. J. l. Rid
die. Mrs Elliott, who would su-
percede him, is also possessed Of
rare scholarly attainments, and
this contention is to be regretted ex-
ceedingly.

an excellent presiding officer.
Though a young man he demonstrate

battle with an unerring hand and
landed the craft in safety though
for a moment it looked as though
there was going to be a storm of

Kentucky are likely to hear some
after from Mr.. Woods, other than,
to enjoy the honor of presiding oV-

A PLUNCER

The other day -. j. Gibbs OF
the San Luis Valley struck such a
bad lamb market at Kansas City
that he took the other side of the
fence and became a buyer. When
he got through he had bought
$500 lambs at the highest price
ever paid for feeders which was
$40. He forwarded the sheep to
Illinois, sheared them and then
put them on corn for short feed
when they will be chased off to
Chicago some day when the sched-
ule is right.-Field L. Farm.

When the wool buyers come
from the east in May and early
June they Will meet an independ-
ent class Of men, instead of the
poor sheep herders with whom
they had to deal a few years ago.
The buy ers formerly brought Bos-
ton and Philadelphia money and
agreed among themselves just how
much should be paid. This year
they will find that the agreement
will have to be made with the
growers, who have become more
independent by reason of the fact
that they can ship their wool to
some warehouse and draw the
money they need on it. The word
has gone out among the dealers
that the clip as whole will b.
lighter conditioned but not as good
staple as last year.-Field d Farm.
