The two days of continued rain
last week gave us a large creek.
It looked for a while that we
were fast approaching destruc
tion. Our people who lived near
the creek moved up for higher
quaters. We are giad to note
that the water did not do any se
rious damage to our land, only
removed some of our fencing,
and that can be replaced without
much expense.

the death of one of our best cit
izens, Mr. W. M. Smith, who
was well-known by everybody in

there was not a one of us thought
the end was so near until the
.news was heard that he was
.gone. He was taken suddenly
with pneumonia fever, and being
iin very delicate health, without
-constitution, the end soon came.
He was seventy-four years of
age and a member of the Christ
ian church, and every day of his
life he lived up to bis profession,
and when we know how a person
lives, that is sufficient evidence
that .he lias gone to his reward
'He leaves a wife, two chil
dren and one brother, with a
large train of connection and
friends to weep oyer his depart
ure. The funeral service was
conducted by Rev. G. W. Pang
burn, of the Methodist church,
and his remains were interred in
