Fell 1849, Flows, Cabarrus Co., North Carolina. 
86 | Oct. 31, This fall is often known as Monroe, Cabarrus 
Davis Co. Monroe is, however, not in Cabarrus Co., 
and eighteen miles distant. As the fall took 
place near the present post-office of Flows, 
this seems to be a more suitable name by 
which to designate the fall than Monroe.
