The valley was visited by an unus-

night; in fact, the precipitation for a
few minutes partook much Of the ma
ture of a cloudburst. There was more
or less rain throughout the night, but
the deluge came between four and
five O'Clock Sunday morning. For
several minutes the water came down
in torrents, not like the usual rainfall,
but in sheets as ii it were flowing
from an immense reservoir. The
creeks and branches were soon out OF
their banks, fences were washed away
by the mad rush of waters, and the
roads were badly damaged. The rail-

From Near Arcadia Heights.

II has been quite a while since ! last
wrote q letter to the REGISTER, not
that l wished to be seemingly negli.
gent of my duty as q correspondent,
however. The fact 10 that l have
been very busy most OF the time and
part Of the time away from home.
Since school opened In September; il
has been necessary to leave home
early of mornings and return late in
the afternoon, and on Sundays l did
not feel like writing, with SO many
things to see after. But during all
this time the staunch old REGISTER
never did fail to arrive regularly each
week, for which We are, indeed, very
thankful.
Saturday night last We had the heav-
lest rain we have had since August,
1917; the fact il, it was q veritable
cloudburst, leaving devastation in its
wake, so to speak. Fences were swept
away in many places, and the ground
very badly washed. Fully three
fourths of the corn shocks Oil the "Old
dairy farm" were washed away, or
rendered practically worthless. The
drouth out here certainly is broken.
Mr.. Grover Fits has removed his
family 10 the Heights. They live with
Mr.. j. d. Vance, his fatiier-in-iaw.
j. I. Patterson has moved to the
Paul A. Whelahon property.
1t is with a profound feeling OF sor-
row that We hear of the death of Mr..
Adrian Steel of De Soto. De Soto is
certainly having a siege of the Span
ish influenza.
The teachers were and have been
for the past two weeks, forced to close
their schools on account of the Span.
ish influenza, and at this writing it Is
not definitely sknown just when they
vii! be permitted to their
work kagain. This makes it pretty
hard on the teachers, for they, like
all other people, have to live and can
not live without work. We under
stand that the Attorney General has
ruled that all teachers, whose schools
have been thus closed, shall be enti-
tied to full pay for the time thus lost,
Bat whether they will claim the time
remains to be seen.
1t appears now that the Huns are
getting just what they need. Nothing
but unconditional surrender should
and doubtless will be accepted.
