Tickey creek is higher than it
has ever been known in history.
The whole bottom was completely
overflowed. Great drifts of logs
floated down and tore away
bridges, destroyed corn and cot-
ton, and swept things as they
wont. Mr. McGraw lost one
horse, drowned. Mr. McElroy
had two mules in the pasture and
could not find them; it is suppos-
ed they were drowned, too.
The water rose two teet in Mr.
Earns' house, but done very little
damage. His field was complete-
ly baptized by the waves. It rose
so high in Mr. York's house that

house for safety.
The damage to farmers near
the creek has resulted in a lot of
disheartened people.

If I Can Live.
If I can live
To make some palu face brighter,
and to give
A second lustre to somo tear-
dimined eye,
Or e'en impart
One throb of comfort to an ach-

Or cheer some wayworn soul in
passing by:
If I can lend
A strong hand to the fallen, or
defend
Thought against a single en-
vious strain,
My life though bare,
Perhaps of much that aeemcrth
dear and fair
To ua on earth will not have
been in vain.
