It is many, many years since the waters of
this county were so low as at the present
time. Seeii'ins of this county in which a '
s-arcity of water has heretoton been an-
known, are complaining of dry creeks and f
I..w wells. Never, at this rime of year, was
there such a general scarcity of water in this
county, and if 'he winter should close up
without a good earth-soaking rain to start
the springs and raise tlie rtek, it needs no
prophet to predict the sickness and suffering
that will come ass consvsjuence.

It is a curious fact, but true, that eonijiar
.I'ively tew people who have horses or cattle
stolen are ever able to descriiie them a. cu
rate'", even though they may have been in
tlie habit of driving and been arnniid the
horses every day. It is inability to describe
property that oftentimes prevents pn?r
steps being laSen to recover the pn.perty st.v
len. Thouifh borses may liave marks n
'heir lintbs it Ls seldom that their owners
can tell what limbs thev are on.
