Watauga Democrat Rcbert C. Rivers, Editob ano Proprietor THURSDAYMd.? 30, 1 901.; Tfc Btrlnff Waters. To re i d t f the devasta :': tion. death and ruin cansed ly th floods of last week is itimply appalling. The follow inir dispatch from Marion N. X'., in full of horrors: Marion. N C.Miy 24.-Ro ports just in from Bakers rill say that twenty houses and several Iive6were lost by the storm. Following is the list of the owners of hoaxes destroyed by-the storm in Bnkersville: E. Morgan; GibbGreen, H. Patterson, M. Buchannan, 3am Turner, Bill Green, Jim Green, Nora Anderson, Ber ry Steward, Prof. Britt, Qnin ton Moore, C. Silver, Mrs. Lizzie Howe, B. H. Young. Henry Poteat, John Gndger, Baptist church. -These hoaseSjtogether with ' household effects, were wept away by flood. A great many others were badly dam 4iged. Sam. Turner lost a trunk containing one thousand dol Jars. A large number of people had taken refuge in the Bap tist rhurrh. They barely es caped before it washed away. -Quinton Moore and son were drowned. In Loafer's Glory, a small settlement near Bakersville, " L. Forbes, Beaton & Wilson, Charley Steward, Colburtson ' -and D. McKinney lost houses and store rooms together with their contents. Every house in Magnetic City, a good feized village in Mitchell county, was washed away. Twenty houses were des troyed at Roan Mountain . Station. Hi 1 r eight large stores -on Big Hock Oetk were wash ed away. Huntsdale, with 15 miles of railroad near there was en tirely destroyed. ifohn McKinney was drown d. Unknown man killed by 1ide nar Loafer's Glory. Aboiit sixty-five houses in 3lzubethton, Tenn., jnsta ross the line from Mitchell onoty, -were destroyed. The iron bridge acr jbs Joe Jtiver at Spruce Pine wax cashed away. Later news from this Me : f)'welf) county show dam nge to be mneh greater than 'first reported. It is believed now that it will reach three . .hundred thousand dollars. People are doing the best they can to repare their loss es, but great suffering will fnl : ; low it, so many have lost their only means of making ! a living. All the public loads here are impassable and in most places are destroyed. T Thorntonjfarm near Bridge " Water was damaged twenty thousand dollars. The only m e a n s of .communicating with the outside world is by telegraph No mails have reached here since Tuesday. We hnvn't even been able to : get a newspaper of any kind. Trains will probably reach heie Saturday or Sunday. While Watauga has suffer ed materially in the loss of crops, dainHgo to highways, eic, It is nothing to com pare with the foregoing nW lwoe and jiCNtruciion. Poh 'v.Wj fiif worst dHtmie done id the county was along the Watauga river, and we are told that Billy Mast, D. F. it. F. and W.;B. Baird aietbe worst losers. The losses on Nw Kiver arecomparatively smnll. .Jr .. Johnson county. Tenn., is was almost ruined. Crops, railroad, mill property, brid ges, etc., were swept awaj on the bosom of the surging wa ters. The iron bridge at But It. elected at a cost of near ly ten thousaud dollars, is a thing of the past. It issaid that it will be months before the trains will again reach Miiy Mead, fco terrible was the destruction to the line of road. The railroad from Cranber ry to Johnson City, we learn iBsodamaged that it will take weeks for the trains to again reach the bead of the road. It is thought that the regu lar schedule of trains will be put on the Lenoir roud with in the next week as the track, trestles, etc., that were swept away are being replaced ns rapidly as possible. All the information we can get. so far, from the Yqdkin is to the effect that the river lacked two feet or more of be ing as his-h as in the previ ous fresh, bnt thtt awful ha v oc was wrought to the grow ing crops, and bottom lands along its course. We are told also that the railroad traffic at the WUkesboroughs was not interfered with by the high water. Eastern and Central Caro lina, and many of the towns and cities in Tennessee were great sufferers and it would take all of our limited space to tell of one-fourth the hor rors of this unprecedented flood. A New Jersey man who, by the way, is a shining light of the society for prevention of cruelty to animals, was arres ted recently for beating his wife. He pleaded justification alleging that she had given him a cold dinner, and seem ed utterly outraged when he was sent to jail for the of fense. This was in New Jer sey, you know. The latest comes from adis tinguished republican, who asserts that "The Cuban de sire for independence is a gen uine case of nervous disease.' That's about what George III said of the American colo nies. Senator 'Quay says that he i4 going to retire. That fact would cause rejoicing, if he hiid not tied such a long string to it. If you have "neuralgia, Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil will feed .the nerve that is cry ing for food it is hungry and set your whole body going again, in away to satisfy nerve and brain from your usual food. That is cure. If you are nervous and irri table, you may only need more fat to cushion your nerves you are probably thin and Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil will give you the fat, to be gin with. : . . Cure, so " far as it goes. Full cure is getting the fat, you need from usuaffood, and Scott's -Emulsion will help you L- ' r J, if yvn hayp t t. if, tend' for ire Maple, -. n;.i.i.'iv ;. ft?. :: MKjtriM: too.' , .VT'v: WXK.- Cbcmfets.

Till man was in for a long term,' and McLaurin's term would not have expired lor two years yet. Mr. Schwabb admits that Americans have to pay more for their steel in order to per mit the Trust to sell abroad cheaply enough to contiol the market. This is very nice for the Trust, of course, but how a boar, the American con suraer? . Where does he come in? Meanwhile there isgood an thority for thenssertionthat a single ship yard has $ 25, 000,000 worth of contracts for building ships on hand more than it can handle for years. Yet the subsidy bill did not pass. Charleston resents any sug gestion that its fair will not be ready to open by 1 Decern ber the 1 the date set for the commencement. If it is, it is said, Charleston will have broken the record for exposi tions. A western murderer onder sentence of death bus been kept alive for some six or eight years by means of the machinery of the courts. Is it any wonder that we should hire occasional lynchings? The republican idea of re ciprocity, as exemplified by the, action of the Senate, is that the foreign powers give ns their markets and then we should reciprocate by giving them the marble hen rt.

Thankful OrlUa Ilurd lives In the beautiful Tillage of Brighton, Uvlngiton Co., Mich. TbiB enerable and highly respected lady was burn la the year 1812, the year of the great war, In Hebron. Washington Co New fork. She came to Michigan la im the year of Tippecanoe and Tyler, too." All ber faculties are excellently presenred, and possessing a rery re. tenure memory, her mind la full rf Interesting reminiscences of her early life, of the early days of the State of Michigan and the Interesting and t narkable people ahe has met. and the stirring events of which she was a wit Bess. But nothing In her varied and manifold recollections are more mar teloos and worthy of attention than are ber experiences iu the use of JOHNSTON'S SABSAPABILLA, Mrs. Hard Inherited a tendmty and pre disposition to scrofula, that terribly destructive blood taint which has cursed and is cursing the lives or thousands and marking thousands more as vlo Urns of the death angel. Transmitted from generation to srneraUon, It i found la neary every family in one form or another. It may tuuke Ita ejv pearance In dreadful running sores, la unsightly swellings In the neck or goitre, or In eruptions of vartrd forma. Attacking the mucous membrane, tt nay be known as catarrh In the head, or developing In the lungs It may be, and often Is, the prime cause of consumption. Speaking of her case, Mrs. nurd says: I was troubled for many rears with a bad skin disease.-: My arms and Hmba would break out In a moss of ores, discharging yellow matter. My neck began to swell and became very unsightly In appearance. My body was covered with scrofulous eruptions My eyes were also greatly Inflamed and weakened, and they pained me very much. My blood was In a very bad condition and, my herd ached severely at frequent Intervals, and I had no appetite. I bad sores also In my ears. I was In a miserable condition, I bad. tried every remedy that bad been recom mended, and doctor after doctor had failed. One of the (est physicians in. the state told me I must die of scrofulous consumption, as Internal abcessea were beginning to form. I at length was told of Dr. Johnston, of Detroit, and bis famous Sarsaparllla. I tried a bottle, more as an experiment than any thing else, as I bad no faith In It, and greatly to my agreeable surprise, I began to grow better. Ton can be surf 1 kept on taking It I took great many bottles. But I steadily Improved until I became entirely weft. All the sores healed up, all the bad symptoms disappeared. I gained perfect health and I have never been troubled with scrofula since. Of coarse an old lady of 83 years Is not a young woman, but I have had remarkably good health, since then, and I firmly believe that JOHNSTON'S SABSAPABILLA la the greatest Mood purifier and the best medicine In the wide world, both for scrofula and as a spring medicine." This remarkably Interesting old lady did) not lok to be more than sixty, and she repeated several times, MI believe my life was saved by JOHNSTON'S SABSAPABILLA." rowraa iw xxa,i7av 001 MoMz At Farthing, Boooe, N. 0.
