The recent heavy rain storm in the
vicinity of Buck Grove did, consider
able damage to the low land. At VIM,
Stahler's place his entire hog pasture
was washed oyer, and he now possess
es considerable extra earth. The wash
carried away a great deal of fence
for him and did other damage. At
Frank Slater's the water was the high
est, by three feet it was ever known.
Much of the pasture land on the old
Jas. Tranter farm, now owned by
Henry Saggau, was covered with mud,
and the south field was washed con-
siderably.

farm, has force of men busy at work
making improvements all over the

water coming in so fast. They were
down 80 feet. Henry is installing

the well all the time instead of from
a reservoir. Hydrants will be placed
at different places in the feed yards,
in the barns, and in the house. With
this system he will have ample fire

the, plant say there is a great force in
the system. Plumbers were at work
making the installation in the house,
adding asbRth tQsthe other equipment.
