However, it is a mighty g- id time to buy a sup)ply before it goes still higher. Fresh flour constantly rne ceivedl. T. J. HAvs, Successor to lays & uMa. SUPT. JOHNSTONB RESIGNS.

Th: SOUTHERN HARD HIT. Trestle Washed Away ty High Water In the Middle Tiger-Through Trains by - Newberry. There were very heavy rains in the Piedmont section of South Carolina on Monday and Tuesday, and at Tuesday noon there was something akin to a cloud-burst over the Middle Tiger river, between Spartanhurg and Greenville, washing away the trestle of the Atlanta and Charlotte Air Line. In consequence traffle along the Southern was very much delayed for twelve or fifteen hours. The trains caught at Spartan burg were moved down to Alston, and thence up the Columbia and Greenville division to Greenville, and from Green ville on to Atlanta. The trip around by Alston was a Ldetour of some 200 miles to get 30 miles from the starting point. The Southern has suffered a number of other accidents during the past few (lays, and it was reported from Char lotte this week that there were two attempts to wreck its trains near Char lotte, which were discovered just in time to save the trains. On Tuesday, just before the Middle Tiger bridge went, there was an acci dent in Virginia which delayed traffic along the main line considerably. All mail from Washington was cut off from Greenville and points further South for several hours. SPECIAL NOTICES. G.OOD MEALS---Chas. W.
