Streams Swollen
With IL Inches
Rain After Snow

If the first week is any in
dicator. 1862 may be quite a
year for weather.
From January l, 1862 to Janu-
airy z, Weatherman E. F. Strip
lin has reported this assortment
at his Farmville station:
Seven inches of snow; 2.35 in
ches of precipitation; winds up
to 40 miles per hour. and a look
for something to happen read
ing of 1855 on his barometer.
The rain, that of Saturday,
which fell continuously through
out the day and internationally
through a good portion of the
night, exceeded one and a half
inches :. Ia to be exact as
the Weatherman's instruments
indicated.
Night Winds
At 10 pm. Saturday, Strip
lin took a 1855 reading on his
barometer, and Immediately
calculated that something would
have to fill the void created by
that low pressure situation. At
1l:15 pm, the winds started,
and the weatherman estimated
the most severe of the gusts at
40 m.p.h. He said he had not
had any reports of any damage
from the winds, however.
The IL inches of rain, falling
in relatively mild temperatures,
came on top Of the soggy condi-
tons resulting from the melting
! Of the seven-inch snow Of New
Years Day. St1iplin said the
water equivalent Of that snow
is slightly in excess of half
inch at IS.

Thus within a week, the year
has brought 235 inches Of precip-
itation. That's quite a lot con-
sidering that December, 1861.

The two dams in the Muddy

Buckingham county. They will
be built about ten miles north

700 were placed by the employ
naent service.
The employment office here
serves the counties of Amelia,
Buckingham, Cumberland. Char
lotte. Lunenburg. Nottoway and
Prince Edward.
The basis for Martins predic-.
ton Of better year in 1862 is
the scheduled opening of new
furniture plant in Blackstone the
hiring of additional workers at
the Levi-Straus plant there. and
the opening of the large W. T.
Grant Company store in Farm
vile.
It was similar expansion in
industry and mercantile business
that made 1860 a better year
than just ended. In 1860 new
plant was opened at Kenbridge
and Safeway Stores. Inc, went
into operation in FarnWille.
The number of claims for I'M
employed insurance increased
III 1861. A total Of 2,154 claims
were filed at the office. That
compares with 1894 claim, for
1860.
Having some affect on the
area employment picture we're

plants, Farmville Dress Com
