DAMAGE FROM FIRE IN 1935 SMALL Only 22 fire alarms were answ- ered by the city tire department in 1935, the records reveal. Of this number only 5 were a complete loss and 1 was a 50 per cent loss. The other fires were quickly brought unger control and little damage done. This is a fine record for Mil- lcdgeville and Chief Broome com plimented the people of the city and Uty» fire department. He urged further care and precau tion to reduce this figure in 1936. All of the first losses were small dwellings and tliero was not a major catastrophe.

He presented Mr. Tom Cook, county agent of Hall county, and recommended his election. The board held a special meeting Wed nesday morning, but voted to delay the election of another farm agent until it was determined what farm program the Federal Government would inaugurate. With the death of the AAA the commissioners believed the need of a farm agent not so great and unless the Federal Gov ernment inaugurates a new program the commissioners will probably dis pense with a farm agent for this county. The matter has been left open by the commissioners and ac tion *ill not come to p final decis ion until later. The commissioners by resolution unamiously adopted and introduced by Dr. O. F. Moran, named the new paved road from the store otf O. M. Ennis to Allen’s Invalid Home, “The Dr. H. D. Allen Memorial Highway.” This road is now under construc tion and will be completed late in the spring. Dr. Moran pointed out that the late Dr. Alien had been one of the county's most beloved and rAtffctandfmg riti/jen^ and that the new paved road led to the institu tion founded and established by him. He said he thought it quite proper that this read be made a memorial to this beloved physi cian. The commissioners held meetings Monday. Tuesdhy afid Wednesday of this week, the business of the new years requiring much time. The board has alreadv re-elected all officers for the coming year.

Seidel's rapid musical and artistic growth may be attributed to the fact that he is totally absorbed in his work. His love for music is innate, and he is never happier than when studying and playing on his instru ment. His repertoire is comprehen sive in scope, yet he is forever searching the works of the old and new masters to bring to his audi ences beautiful music.

Since the first of January, in the first six days of the new year over three inches of rain has fallen. The river reached a high mark Monday when it measured 25.21 feet. The river fell Tuesday and measured 24.33 feet but was rising again Wednesday and will probably reach a new height. Danger to traffic on the road lend ing to Milledgeville from across the river was eleminaled last spring when the new Oconee river bridge was opened, the span having been built above any possible high wa ter mark. The river has spread oufe. into the low lands and is a raging torrent, with the creeks and streams leading into the river backed up and flooding out cf their banks into ad joining farm lands. The damage done by the highwaters has been slight. The river is on its first flood In several years. For the past four years the weather man has recorded a shortage of rain fall. Last year was an especially dry year and wells that dried up in the summer have never been in use since. The heavy rains which have fallen since the first of the year are expected to be of great aid and have been scre- lv needed, the only objection being that nobody wants ail the rain at The roads and bridges haven been damaged to some extend traveling of.’ the paved roads .has 'bees Im possible.
