we stand it, for the simple rea
son that we must stand it ant
cannot help ourselves. But le
us now stop to consider whether
we ought not give some money
when there is no flood than tt
suffer such great loss when g
flood occurs. AS to the things
about which we failed | will men,
tion that too little attention has
been given to keep our water
courses free from obstruction.
We have allowed drifts to accum-
mulate and islands to form and
growth of sprouts and trees to
come into being on those islands
and other places in and along
streams to Obstruct the free and
unobstructed flow of the water,
thus promoting the foundations
of the lands and residences I'M
the low parts. Nor is this ALL?
In the construction of our bridges
and levees the channel of the
streams has been narrowed, not
furnishing basins sufficient tv
hold and permit the flow of the
great volume of water produced
by long downpour OF rain. By
all these means, and others help
ing, the flooding waters can not
get away and devastation and
destruction result as a natural Sc
quence. The bridge crossing
Greenville creek at this place is
too short, thus providing an in
adequate funnel through which
the flooded current must pass or
find vent in some other way, and
as a remedy for this our bridge
ought to be heightened by at
least one span being added to it's
length and to heighten some
would add to it's sufficiency to al
low water to pass, % What is said
Of the conditions here will apply
to many other places throughout
the county and state. Everyone
knows that such improvements
will add very much to the cost of
repairs needed, but will it not be
economy in the end?
It is not the ordinary condi-
tions of the country that should
be provided for, but the extra
ordinary conditions that may |
come, nor do we know when they !

three small children to mourn
their loss. Funeral services were
conducted by Rev. J. WinkIer,
his pastor. His death leaves a
vacancy in our community which
will be hard to fill. The K. of
P.s, of which Order he was a
member, recited their impressive
ritual at his grave in our ceme-

to be rendered. Several floral
tributes were generously contrib

During last week it was dis
covered that the bridge crossing
Greenville creek, south of our
village, was unsafe by reason of
the north abutment having been
undermined by the mad rush of
water, and that a large part had
fallen down. The road has been
closed to travel by teams and ve-

and elicits no little discussion to
find who may be at fault for the
visitation. Some find it is God
sent for punishment for the wick

find that man has his part in it,
and is answerable for some share
in it. Without attempting to dis

to inquire who is responsible, but
take up the matter as to the best
way to repair the loss, and adopt
plans to prevent a recurrence of
the like again. Man has in his
shortsightedness planned the
means by which much of the re-
sulting destruction occurred.

WAGNER'S REVIEW
Closing Letter.

New York. July 2s.-In sympathy
with the strength in London, our mar
ket opened a. fair advances over Sat
urday's closing figures. II was not
long before buying orders which had
accumulated over the weekend made
their influence felt, with the result
that the market generally worked into
new ground on the movement.
There was considerable volume of
profit-taking noticeable throughout the
session and the market absorbed these
sales particularly well. Some little
attention was paid to slight advance
in corn prices, a result OF continued
drouth in some sections.
Tomorrow's steel statement is Gag
erly awaited, as is also some definite
procurement from Washington with
regard to the Mexican situation. Lit
tie money rates were quoted fraction
ally lower; sales OF copper metal We're
reported in fair volume. In the opin
ion of good judges, there was no
wholesale retirement Of short con-
tracts and In the absence of this,
weakening of the technical position,
the market should meet little resist
ance on its upward course.
