Disastrous Drought in the Valley

The great drought which has prevail
ed through the Shenandoah Valley
since early last summer continues, and
the situation daily grows more serious.
1t is said that rain mas never been
needed so badly as at the present time,
and in some sections streams have
vanished that we're never before known

lower than can be remembered in
sixty or seventy years, and spring.

fore since the Valley was first settled.
At Luray the town would be without
water were it not for the continuous
Nelp given by the Norfolk & Western
Railway, which pumps directly into the
mains. day and night. AT Woodstock
the electric power, which IS derived
from plant on the Shenandoah, is
about gone, current being furnished
only few hours each day. In Stras-
burg the water is so low that folks
are asked to be careful about the wat
er they use in washing their faces and
brushing their teeth. All through the
middle and Southern section of the
Valley there is suffering and distress
'rnm the drought, which is said to be
unprecedented. We should be very
thankful that Jefferson county has had
such a seasonable summer and fall.
