ICE, SNOW AND DAMAGE.

ing. sleeting and snowing, and kept np
Sunday night. When Monday morning
dawned the trees were heavily loaded
‘'with ice and the ground covered with
snow and ice. Telephone wires in great
number. as well a: electrical wires,
went to the ground. The electric cars
between Marietta and Atlanta went
dead and did not run on account of the
damage done to their trolley wires.

park, on the streets and throughout the
town, wei 2 unable to hold up under the
weight of ice and went erashing to the
ground.
The streets of Marietta Monday, with
broken limbs of trees and tangled tele
phone wires, looked like a cyclone had
been along.

owing to the telegraph and telephone
poles being down all along the line.
The obstructions were such that they
had to be moved to pass.
The Journal office building was ficod
ed with water. Our job presses, news
paper press, paper cutter, much wooden
type and paper stock were soaked with
water and badly damaged. We used
paper boards to turn the water, but it
was insufficient to proteet. It was
Tuesday before we could turn out any
job work We found our newspaper
press in bad fix, wet and rusty. The
yym;an was ruined, and we had to take
it off and put on a new one. After a
deal of extra work and delay we’ve
managed to get the paper out. :
