RIVER OVER BANK
ON THE EAST SIDE
AND STILL RISING
MUCH DRlFTWOOD AFLoAT AND
NEGROES GATHERING IT IN
ABUNDANTLY. -
FALLS and RISES AGAIN
Many Sightseers Line the Banks and
Stand on the Bridge--Not Likely to
Get High Enough to Cause Any Sc
rious Trouble.

Duck river is on it's second rise
from the rainfall of Sunday night,
and at noon today was 81 feet and
rising
After reaching almost to 30 feet on
the guage Monday night the river
started to fall during the afternoon.
After falling several inches 1t be-
gan rising again, and this morning is
making another record.
Shortly after o'clock the water
began pouring into the basin of the
field on the east bank below the
acld, first running through at the
low place just above the tennis court,
For almost an hour it was an inter-
esting sight to see the water going
through there at such a swift pace.
The field rapidly filed and as the wa
ter went over at other places along
the bank the river level was soon
reached.
The water across the Nashville
pike is more than two feet deep at
jackson spring, but is still being
crossed, and it is not likely that 1t
will get beyond fording.
In the vicinity on this side OF the
river the negroes are gathering In
driftwood rapidly and many have al
ready RATED enough to last good
portion of the summer for cooking
purposes. The principal character Of
drift has been cedar logs, cedar rails,
planks and fencing.
1t will require three feet more for
the water to in any way interfere at
the rower house, and this is not ex-
Dscted. j. .,.f
Backwater has gone up Helms
Branch as far as the old tan yard
property, almost to Eighth street.
Tho rise on Monday morning was
occasioned by the local rainfall, while
that during the night was evidently
caused by the rainfall in MARSHALL
and Bedford counties. Many of the
creeks in these two counties were al-
most as high as they were during the
high water Of 1902, when all Middle
Tennessee was SO badly damaged and
the bridge across Duck, river was
Threatened and was only saved from
destruction by the fact that the bulk
OF the current went across the bend
through Riverside instead OF coming
against the bridge.
1t is thought the river will possibly
reach 80 or 80 feet. This will be the
highest for several years, but viii
still be 10 feet less than the 1902
rise, that went to 81 feet.

FIFTY YEARS
IN BUSINESS
NO one IN MAURY COUNTY ELL.
GiBLE TO MEMBERSHIP IN
THE ORGANIZATION.

The movement to have a meeting
and perfect an organization of men
who have been in business fifty years
and Fore at the same place, develops
the fact that there are none in Co
lumbia. nor Maury county as matters
that.
A. samuels, J. P. Street and John
B. Ashton perhaps come nearer the
mark than any others. They have all
been here and engaged In business
longer than any other firms, each
having been in business in Columbia
forty-five years or more.
They have seen many changes In
firms and in the general appearance
Of the town.
