We have reports Of terrific
rain storm in tho Oconee Creek Sec
ton Monday afternoon last. 1t Is
said that crops and lands were very
badly washed. The rain was a veri-
table downpour, the dark cloud from
which 1T came travelling northwest
ward at rapid rate, Sthen meeting
a reverse current Of wind as it near
cd the mountains, coming back over
the section and deluging 1t with an
even harder rain than when it made
its first visit. 1T is not thought that
general damage was done exec
such as will result where the worst
land washes occurred.
