Damages by the High Waters.
| Catawhn river in its recent ramj
pajje severed one of the main eon
I iicclitl<r links between the North
and South by washing away a seej
tion of the Amerieati Telephone
land Telegraph Company's lines
I which cross the stteam at a p int
near this place. It was a trying
time for the telephone company,
for they kept a tfano of workmen
| at the river for about a w- ek. and
many were the exciting experiences
they had in endeavoring to
^et at least one temporary wire
; across the ra^inj^ stream. A boat
load of tools was lost and there
were many narrow escapes from

Rock Mill's (New Paper.
The Journal, Rock Mill's new
paper, made its appearance on last
Saturday and henceforth, for an
extended period we hope, will
come out t wice a week. The paper
is all home production and is well
equipped for the business. The
first issue is very creditable and
an enterprising spirit is reflected
throughout its columns which inspires
us with the idea that the
next out', and the next again, \vi I
be better. There is rootu in Rock
Mill for two papers and the town
will profit incalculably by the
competition.
