Heavy Rain Storms in Rockbridge

Heavy rain storms prevailed In
Rockbridge several days last week
and in many parts OF the county the
public roads are considerably dam
aged. High water in South River
from the storms Of Saturday washed
away some of the under supports OF
the railroad bridge at that point,
and the Baltimore and Ohio train
met the Chesapeake and Ohio at
that place and transferred passen-
gers and mail. On examination by
the inspector it was decid ed that the
bridge was not unsafe and trains
have since been running without
interruption.
North River was very high but
did not get over the road at Eas,
Lexington. Many OF the smaller
streams of the county rose very
high and destroyed fencing and
small bridges. In some sections o
the county the downpour Saturday
was so heavy that fields were con
siderably washed.
The rain began shortly befor'
noon Friday and in the Afternoon
considerable rain fell. Saturda,
afternoon the heaviest storm brok
and for several hours in the after
noon and at night the water fell /
torrents. Sunday afternoon anott
err storm arose, accompanied by ha
which fell for a short time. Th
stones were small, however, and N
damage resulted. The temperatur
dropped and Sunday night, Monda
and Tuesday witnessed cool weather
