Still Rising —Heavy Rains
Reported from Above
White and Black rivers have
been on the rampage for several
days and the water is over all the
low lands in the bottoms.
The farmers are heavy loose is
all along the rivers and it is re
ported that several head of stock
of various kinds have been drown
ed in the overflow. The rivers
are higher than they have been
'-ince ISPS. Yesterday morning
the water could be plainly seen
from town, and a rise of one foot
more will put the water under all
the buildings on the south of
town.
Kain fell steadily all night Wed
nesday, and heavy rainfall is re
ported from nearly all points up
the river. At daylight yesterday
morning it was reported from
Batesville that White river was
falling slowly. Reports from above
indicate that Black is still ris
ing, but later reports from (iuion
indicate that White is falling. At
noon yesterday it was reported
that White had fallen six feet at j
that place, but was then on a stand j
and there were rumors of another
rise coming. White was on a |
stand yesterday (Thursday) even
ing at ()il Trough.

o’clock Wednesday morning.
lie was passing their store on
his usual rounds and noticed a
small blaze flash up on the it Wide.
He broke open tin; door and went
in and found that the lire had
started among a large quantity of
matches which had been stored
away.
It is supposed that the lire was
caused by tire mice cutting the
matches, as the boxes had been
gnawed in several places and there
was no one in the building and all
the doors and windows were se
curely locked.
The damage was slight, the
greatest loss being from having to
break the door down to get in.

MOORE AND THOMPSON WINNERS
Sims Leads the Ticket—Oldfield
Loses the County—Fulkerson
and Jeffery Winners.
When The Journal went to press
at 9:30 last night the inications
were that Little had carried the
state for governor; and Berry for
senator. Fulkerson carried every
county in the district except Jack
son. The indications are that Jef
fery is elected by a large majority
although the reports are that Er
win carried Lawrence, and Casey
carried Independence. The race
for. state senator was probably ono
of the closest ever run in this dis
trict, but the last reports from
Stone county indicated the elec
tion of Edmondson by a very
small majority. Reports show
that Brundidge carried almost ev
ery county by an overwhelming
majority.
Following is the total vote for
the entire county, except Relief
township, which could not be got
ten at the time of going to press.
