After ibe eveDlDg of tbe 22 of August we
not hear the whistle of a locomotive till
n xt Sunday, and that came from a matei
train on the otber sidf of the steel brldg?;
where It had been across Rocky River c
eral miles below here. It can be well Im
Ined the condition that we were In, no n<
from the election t 11 tbe last of the we
then what we did bear was so tnfagre and
far from being authentic, that it wai
questionable as to wbat reliance was to
placed in it. Tben the Rail Rosd^ le> d
to this p'ace, by which brought our sorp

ful as to where our supplies, which at tbe

Frld.iy nlgbt another big rain washed
a part of the trestle across a creek bf low h<
which Is to ba hoped will only temporal
prevent trains from running from Anden
to McCormlck. It Is needless to underti
to tell of the damage to crops on the Sav

tire crops of corn and cotton and are it
bad fix.
