Heavy Rain Past
Three Days Causes
Farm, Road Damage

Heavy rain during the pas.
three days have resulted in water
sogged conditions in the bottom
sections of Lexington and sur
rounding communities. Roads in
rural areas were reported washed
out rendering them impossible or
near-impassable. According to
W. r. Sullivan, approximately six
and one-half inches of precipita-
ton has been recorded for this
area since Tuesday.
Wednesdays total Of 5.65 inches
was the largest amount of rain
to fall within the three-day per-
iod. On Tuesday 90 inches was
recorded, and on Thursday before
daybreak, an additional so. Flat
roofs were suffering, yielding
leakage.
No wind damage was reported,
but fresh soil which had been
plowed up was washed off, in
many cases with fertilizer which
had already been applied. Creek
banks in many cases caved off
during the heavy, steady on
slaught of rain.
Creeks are down in this sec
ton of the county, Agent Sulli-
van reported, though in the
Tqhula-Howard area water is
still high.
A steel bridge on the Coxburg-
Eden road 212 miles from the
Holmes line in Yazoo county was
washed away by the heavy
floods of rain. Heavy damage
was also reported in Attala
county.
Water was also over the Lex
Durant road near Cat

an easy business. called up Glen
Flanagan and asked him to drop
over TO my office and within two
hours Glen was over. explained
about this most worthy cause and
before / could finish, Flanagan
stopped me and said, IN fight
anyone for such a benefit"
Glen Flanagan will meet Oliver
