CINQNNATL 



The Flood. 



The main topic of conversation on 

 every side is the flood of the Ohio 

 river. It is the worst flood we have, 

 had in over twenty years and to de- 

 scribe tlie damage done and the suffer- 

 ing it has caused would be next to im- 

 possible. It would appear now that the 

 worst is over, as the water is at a 

 standstill, and with the cold snap that 

 has come upon us it is likely to start 

 going down. Three florists' places are 

 under water and considerable damage 

 has been done. They are all located 

 along the Mill creek valley and thus in 

 the flooded district. They are Wolfe, 

 Glins and Herline. Of course, the truck 

 gardens along this valley are all under 

 water, and the owners will suffer seri- 

 ous loss. Thousands of people are home- 

 less, on account of the water making 

 their homes unsafe, and are being cared 

 for by the city and various charitable 

 organizations. It is hoped now that 

 the end is in sight and that in a few 

 days the river will have gone down be- 

 low the danger point. 



In spite of all the conditions against 

 it, the business is holding up well. 

 Train service is irregular and shipping 

 business is being handled at a great 

 disadvantage. But even with this, there 

 IS a pretty good supply of blooms in 

 the market and they are moving out at 

 good prices. 



Various Note*. 



E. G. Gillett, J. A. Peterson, W. K. 

 Partridge, B. Witterstaetter and Ed

 convention at Toronto. They joined the

 quite ill, but is improving. 



C. J. Ohmer. 



Du Quoin, III.— F. W. Gross, of the

 requiring attention. He says there is a 

 good opportunity here for a florist.
