BAD DAMAGE BY STORMS
HEAVY RAINS WASH FIELDS =
TAKE OUT BRIDGES
VeritabIe Cloudbursts Carry Away 5
Bridges and Destroy Roads and
Freshly Set Tobacco Fields

This section has experiences eight
days of most extreme weather. Com
rhencing. Tuesday of last week the
mercury commenced to mount and I'M
til late Sunday night the weather was
as torrid as we ever want to see, while
crops fairly jumped from the ground.
Sunday night a heavy storm covered
this part of the state, and was follow
ed by most severe local thunderstorms
almost continuously until Wednesday
night. The electrical display was at
times terrifying, and the rainfall ex-
tremely heavy. Damage to soft fields.
tobacco patches, roads and bridges is
widespread and serious. Many fields
are deeply rutted and will have to be
entirely reset. Roads are rutted and
piled full of rock. Landslides have
occurred in many places, and five Of
our county bridges are reported out.
The Black Bottom bridge was carried
out and route No. II has been detoured
over the new patrol section commenc-
ing at the Burns Morrison hill, over
the ridge and down to the Flanagan
place. The central piers of the Ewers
bridge in Liberty south of Viola were
washed out. The 24-foot steel span
bridge across Black Bottom creek be-
low the Flanagan place was carried
away. A small bridge in Genoa was
destroyed. The road from here to vi
ola is impossible.
This is a hard blow to the patrolmen
who were commencing to get their
routes in superb condition. We might
remark that in making the trip from
Boscobel through Mt. Sterling to Viro-
qua after the storm Sunday night, the
best piece of highway we encountered
was from the hogback to this city.
