OUR FLAG

Do you know what our flag
means to you?
Did you ever stop to think what
we all have to do?
Give up home and friends for
the red, white and blue.
And stand by our flag and our
country so true.
Do we not all share in the free
dom of it?
So we, young and old. must do
all we can to help it;
Some give all they have, even
their best.
All for their flag without Uncle
Sans request.
Some give up friends and even
life.
And march to the tune of the
drum and the fife.
So we must work at home. if
we do not fight
For the land Of the free and the
home of the right.

TWO INCHES AND
HALF RAINFALL
Yesterdays Downp0ur One of the
Heaviest Ever Experienced in
This Section.

Nearly two and half inches Of rain
fell yesterday afternoon in about an
hour in Greenwood, flooding many OF
the water drains and washing yards
and streets. On East Market where
the concrete has been laid preparatory
to paving with asphalt a veritable lake
extended for blocks and the kids Of
the vicinity enjoyed .wading to the
fullest.
The actual rainfall amounted to
2.39 inches. The rain was accompani-
ed by vivid lightning and heavy thun-
der. The electric light, telegraph and
telephone lines suffered some from
the electrical storm. Little wind was
noticed but at the approach of the
cloud it appeared that much wind
wind would accompany it. Enough
blew however to level one of the big
smoke stacks at the GENERALIZATION
Lumber Co., which will delay work
for a couple of days.
The crot situation as result of the
rain of yesterday and other days pre-
vious is not so promising, though it
it probable little damage will result
if hot dry weather follows. Indica-
tionis are however, that the wet spell
will continue.
