HEM OF etUES ID BE TRIDAY DIGUE IDE CONSERVATION 9E TALLULAH FALLS The heavy and incessant rains of last week caused all the streams of the county to overflow. The bridge over Littlo river be tween Baldwin and Putnam coun ties was washed away and a number of bridges over smaller streams in county either gave way or were dam aged. The Oconee river reached the high est mark attained since the great freshet of eighty-seven, and became a vast body of water. Communica tion with the east side of the river was practically cut off, and only a few crossed to the bridge in boats. The roadway recently built was cov ered with water, but stood the test, and only the surface was injured. The great body of water presented an attractive sight, and our people flocked to the river’s edge all day Saturday’ and Sunday to view it. Fishing Creek also overspread the adjoining low lands. The freshet of 1912 will long be re membered. REVIVAL SEDUCES ENDED SUNDAY NIGHT A Large Number Expressed De termination to Lead Chris tian Lives. MaJ.
