Lincolnville school had a good
attendance the first day. And
still there is more to follow"
We had quite a rain on the
night of the IA and the morning
of the IS. 1t was figured there
were from four to six inches of
rain fell. Rock creek was about
ten feet high at the crossing just
south of here. Some people
camping on the creek below the
Big Jack had to put their feet on
higher ground, and at that they
had some of their cooking uten-
sile and a cook stove washed
away, and some chickens, and
one lady had all her dishes wash
ed away.
Mr.. Jarman had his horse out
in the pasture and also had Mr..
Walkers horse in the pasture.
The horses took a notion to cross
the creek and come to the barn.
Mr.. Jarman's horse came across
one stream which was in the corn
field, and Mr.. Jarman sent his
boy around by the bridge and got
him out. Mr.. Jarman went TO
the creek, and then he saw one
of Mr.. Walkers horses out in
the swollen stream, washed up
against some shrubbery. He
stoned it to the other side and
kept it there till the creek went
down enough for Mr.. Lawly to
coon the cable that was stretched
across the creek and cut the wire
fence and let the animal out into
another pasture. She had been
milling about in the water for
three hours. The little bay
horse of Mr.. Walkers was let
out of the pasture below the
flood gate and it is supposed
that he was washed under the
flood gate into the other pasture.
He came out with only one
scratch under his jaw, which took
four stitches to sew up.
A. Walker attended Mr.. Felix
Dardeune's funeral Friday.
Carder Bros. are sporting a

The corn crop is awfully good
in this locality, but the water

SOME of our new houses have

What are the good citizens of
our community thinking of, al
lowing such a place as that build
ing where the lower sash of the
windows are being painted, SO
that people can't see in and see
what is going on inside? We
can see enough from the outside
that we know it should be inves-
tigated. We don't want such a
nuisance as that. right along
where our children have to pass
by going to and from school.
Let the good citizens get busy. |
