SETTLED WEATHER BRINGS
RELIEF FROM HIGH WATER

With the return of settled and colder
weather the threatening conditions
that were menace from overfiowing
steams in the county have passed
away, and things have resumed their
normal aspect. The streams in the
city and county, that took a sudden
notion to get out of their beds, have
retired again and pulled the cover over
them like all self-respecting streams
should. There was no considerable
property loss in the city on account OF
the high water, but the rising streams
made life miserable for the dwelle:s
in the lowlands for short time.
In the county the loss was greater
than in the city-fencing, fodder
shocks, houses and crops in many In
stances being carried away by the wa
tiers. Mr.. J. Harry Clay was one OF
the heaviest losers, about twenty acres
OF hemp on his land, valued at about
$4,000, being washed away.
The snow blockade on the county
roads has also been removed, and the
resumption of travel between the city
and the blockaded neighbOrhoods of
the county has restored the balance.
The major portion of the credit for
getting travel open to the public on
the pixies in this county is due to
County Judge Charles A Mcmillan,
who, as soon as it was possible for the
teams to do any work of the kind, sent
out the county teams with STOW plow5
over all the roads, clearing them for
traffic. Owing to the fact that the
equipment was necessarily limited
only the main roads were cleared at
first, but the others soon followed, AMI
the people of the county were enabled
to resume travel to and from their
homes, where they had been virtually
held prisoners.
Judge Mcmillan has always been an
active worker in the interest of the
roads in this county. and his prompt
action in relieving the blockade was
very thoughtful one. and one 10
which he is entitled to the fullest
credit AS far as has been reported
Judge Mcmillan was the only County
Judge in the State to take action oil
this kind on his own initiative. and ii
is needless to say that he has had
warm thanks of the residents of both
the city and county.
