:. For the third time since Janu-

flowed her banks, the present
overflow being the most disas-

not as large crops of wheat as u.s.
ual put out in the bottoms but
from the Iowa line to the mouth
of the Charlton, great damage
was done to as fine prospect for
a large crop of wheat, if not de-
stroyed altogether, as ever grew
on anybodys' land anywhere.
The lower part of all creeks
were overfowed and while the
flooding in both creeks and rivers
has not been so great as at for
mer times, the overflow has been
such as to cause destruction
for the third time in succession.
At the present writing the
water is falling in all streams
aud much of the land which was
planted to wheat and the cror
destroyed, will be put in corn,

drum There will be patriotic Memorial Day exercises at

Worst Needed Bridge

1t can hardly be that a bridge
any where in the country is
worse needed than one across
the big ditch between this city
and Salisbury. For some time
it has been too short at both ends
and now its legs are undoubtedly
too short and disaster is inevita-
BILE if it not replaced with a new
one.
There is not a road in the coun-
try more travelled than is this
highway and should the bridge
tumble in, fortudately when there
was no one crossing, it is a
Long way to Tipperary" and
Timbuctu, from either east or
west.
1t is earnestly hoped that the
County Court will not only give
the matter serious consideration
but do what appears imperative
in the matter, if disaster is to be
averted or at least, trade and
travellers alike diverted from both
Salisbury and the county seat.

High School Notes

A feeling of loneliness has
come over nearly all our students
and some of the teachers, occa-
stoned by the fact that all the
schools in the county have clos
ed and this one still at it.
Miss Nell White made her
first appearance Monday at
school since she took down"
with a fever. She was visitor.
The class in ornithology had a
fine demonstration by a robin
last week. The bird was build
ing a nest. A string it intended
to use in the construction got
tangled with one foot and and a
limb. The bird toppled off the
limb and hung by the string.
Discovered and efforts to gain its
perpendicular on the limb scien-
tifcally considered. One of the
class, supposedly a boy, climbed
the tree and cut off the limb.
Robin taken to basement, treat
ed to a libation and ablution and
liberated.
Daily Dotson missed school
last week on account of business
and Will Arlington part of this
