WHAT WILL YOU DO WHEN A BIG RAIN COMES?

The Iroquois river is considerable higher* at the present time than It has been at any time since last spring. It has backed out over the low lands to a considerable depth.—Brook Reporter. 1 Up here, brother, where the Iroquois has been dredged, it has not gotten out of the channel cut by the dredge, until now, this winter, and perhaps if the river were dredged down in your locality there would not be so much trouble with high water. If the little showers of last week caused the river to get out of its banks with you, just wait until we have a genuine big rain and see what the deluge of water that the dredged Iroquois will pour down upon you will do. Better anchor down the Reporter office, Bro? Stonehill, to be on the safe side.
