RECENT HEAVY RAINS
DAMAGE ROADS
Although this section- has been
unuasually dry during the sum
mer months, some portions of
the county have recently suffer
ed from the effcots of the heavy
rains.
Last Friday night something
like a ^loud-lurst visited this
county and in the Lakemont sec
tion did considerable damage to
the roads and bridges as well as
to the Tallulah Falls Railway.
The dam at the Dixie Camp foi
Boys gave way and overflowed
the lands adjacent to the Stone-
pile Creek the waters reaching
such proportions as to iift and
float the covered bridge between
Wiley and Lakemont.
The bridge floated down a-
gainst the railroad trestle and
swept out two of the bents which
necesitated some repairs before
the train could go over. The
pasenger train was at Cornelia
and the freight train was up the
road and neither could past ove
until Mondayi
Clayton had no mail from Fri
day until Monday when the tres
tle had teen repaired and the
train could come over it.
Traffic on the public road has
been detoured around by the Old
Tiger church and will be until
a new bridge can be erected.
The roads in that section suf
fered badly on account of wash-
out-andthe State Highway De
partments. who maintains the
road, are working a crew of sev
eral hands and will soon have
the road in good condition.
The rains were hetyvv all over
this section of the country but no
other place that we have heard
of suffered like the Lakemont
section.

BAPTIST MODERATOR
MAKES APPEAL FOR
ASSOCIATION
Dear Editor of the Tribune:-
• Allow me space this week
in the Tribune to call the atten
tion of the Baptist churches of
the Rabun County Association,
that our next session will be
held witli the Wolf fork Baptist
Church, October 16--18th.
Look up your minutes, of last
year and see if you are not
Chairman of some committee,
and if so, try and have your re
port ready to present at the
Association.
Let each pastor begin now to
appoint delegates, and ariange ,
to pay your part for the printing
of the minutes. It is a shame
that two or three churches in the *
Association have to almost pay
for the printing of the minutes.
Let’s go to the Association feel
ing that we have done our part
in a good spirit.
Another very important matter
that we should not neglect, aricT*
that is. every Church ii| the As
sociation. should make an earnest
effort to raise every cent of the
balance of your pledge on the
75 Million Chmpaign. This is
the last year, and the time ex-..
pirss November the 30th.
I am mailing out. to Church
clerks blank letters to the Asso- '
ciatiOn, wfciofrT hope vrt1f ‘
used by every church in the As
sociation. Let no church fail to
be represented. —
