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.
