ith the lires cf the Murdoch Mu
tual telephone company which are
ready strung along that thorough
fare and this would make it neces
sary for tne power line to deflect a
mile north and then come back again
but by agreement it has been ar
ranged that the telephone company
shall change a portion of their lines
and make another section metalic.
thus eliminating the trouble, and
the power company will stand for
the added expense.

ANNIVERSARY OF STORK
From Saturday's Laily
The first anniversary of the severe
storm and flood at Louisville was ob
served today and to many the mem
ory of this terrible trying period is
very vivid and real. The loss to the
town of Louisville was irreparable
and one whole famil3r was wiped out
of existence and the property loss
ran up into thousands of dollars and
while the city of Louisvie rallied
in fine shape from the terrible dis
aster there are still evidences to be
found of it. The intense rain of last
night was a very striking reminder
of the flood time to the residents of
this portion of the county and they
j count it fortunate that the storm did
j little damage.
