Every en gagement calendar I have seen for the month looks like a speckled guinea egg. Two, three and four meetings a day, and October is no respect of Sunday. Sunday is completely taken up for the entire month with Homecomings, Anniver saries, Dedications. Sings receptions and whatnot! Have you ridden arouna uup lin to mc the highwater? It ia a sight. The water at the Northeast Cape Fear on High way 34 between Kenansville and Beulaviile is about waist deep in the fields around the river. Talking to J. C. Nethercutt of the highway department, he was telling me that the water is across the road in several places in the county, one of them being Sarecta. The bridge at Crowe Goshen near Calypso is washed out and also a bri dge West of Warsaw beyond the Block Plant going toward Faison. He said two bridges near Wallace are under water Several places that were mark ed High Water on Monday have cleared up, but Nethercutt said he could not tell how much more some of the streams wou ld rise. He had a report that in adjoining Sampson County a a bridge had been washed out oq highway 408 and one oit liigIN1 ? n? my daughter wrote to me from New Jersey last week saying that tbey were so happy because they were having some rain that day, and hoped it would rain for several days. She was having to go to an adjoining town to get drinking water and having to take her clothes there to wash them. She said they had not had any rain since June or July.
