Thomasville, Oct. 23—No little inconvenience has been experienced here for the past three weeks on account of the main deep well of the town being out of condition, thus greatly curtailing the water supply. While repairing the machinery the first of the month, a safety clamp broke, and the entire pumping equipment, weighing several thousand pounds, fell into the well, which is 850 feet deep. It was necessary to send to Richmond to get the required machinery with which to fish for and recover the lost pump.
