M eavy Damage Caused e
By Rustling Waters. r
The heavy rains of Sunday night e
t caused the dam at Mr. E. J. George's a
' oond, near town, to break, turning j e
8 i loose the immense volume 01 water c
o which came down the stream with a n
e mighty roar and with such force that
a the brick wall to the card room of the
Y Lexington Manufacturing Company
n could not withstand its power. The f
a damage to the mill property was great, I
a the loss amounting to several hundred c
' dollars. The mill was forced to sus- c
5 pend operations Monday. i
a Mr. George's loss will also reach up
into the hundreds. Mr. H. Dibble a
? George, who was asleep in the mill, d
S did not know of the break until the c
L dam was washed away. Mr. George t
will be able to run his mill within a t
' short time. c
