The recent flood waters in Moccasin swamp, which washed away Holt’s Mill house and part of the dam, went on down stream three miles to the old Atkinson mill, which has a dirt dam about one-half mile long, and so much of this dam was washed away that it is doubtful where or not the repairs will ever be made. According to present indications, the repairs to bridges and roads from damage by the recent floods, will require many months’ work and at an enormous cost to the county. There is a large tree swinging to the under frame of the steel bridge at Baker’s mill over Little River. This tree was lodged in this position by the high waters and in the present condition endangers the long span of the bridge.
The street from center of town leading directly to the new school building has been opened, and although it is not completed, it is so that the school children can pass. The bridge has been completed, and the grading on the street will be finished within a few days.
