Tne LowerIsland question

The statement in our report of the pro
cetdings Of the Edgefeld Board Of Mayor
and Aldermen relative to the matter 10
issue between Mr.. Burns and that corpo.
ration, would seem to reflect on that gen
tlsman, in go far as il intimates DISPOSE
ton on his part 10 evade HE contract of
sale Of the lower island.
10 justice to him, his explanation OF the
conference between Mayor Glenn and him-
self ia due, and it is that upon notifi-
cation that check would be rendered and
that a Iitle-deed was desired, he referred
to the reservation of his right to use
gravel from the leland. Mayor Glenn
and he differed as to the memorandum of
contract relative to that particular, and
further action was delayed until the men,
Uranium should be inspected. Mr.. Burns
was surprised at the statement as publish
ed, and is unwilling to rest under such
an imputation. Neither in his dealings
with iudi Viduals or corporations does he
bear such character. The whole question
is simply a conflicting view as to the
terms Of the memorandum on which the
sale was to be perfected

The Much Talked of Bump" o.
Trinity Street.

Inc Mucn AAtAoU OF " pump" or
Trinity Street.
AT the meeting ofthe Edgefeld Board
in September, a mmittee was appointed
to investigate the state and condition of
what is known as the dump" or Trim
ity street. Alderman Guild, from that
committee, has given the natter some at
tentioD, and reports that as far back as
1856, when the Louisville and Nashville
railroad located their road, they purchased
this sixty feet of ground from DR.. Shelby,
for depot purposes that the road upwards
Of twelve years since, deposited the dirt on
said sixty feet, to be used az highway.
That afterwards they abandoned the de-
pot project on the Edgefeld ride of the
river, and crossed the Cumberland. That
said grounds 50 thrown up have since
been called Trinity street, and DR.. Shelby,
in his sale Of lots, left sixty feet for said
street, and said street has been need by
the public for upwards of twelve wears az
public highway, and therefore, by dedis
cation Of the same tor the public use,
said street is public. and The public
and the corporation have the right 10 hold
q deed on it as such, and the public inter4
est demands that the same shall be SO held
by the corporation for the use of the public
as sforts.d.
This opinion Of the ALDERMEN named
will be acceptable to the people of North
Edgefeld, who are loud in their demands
for such Improvements as will make
Trinity street the leading thoroughf4re be
tween North and South Edgefeld. Con.
Meeting as it does with Bell street, it Ger
tainly has all the advantages claimed fOr
1t, and this thoroughiars once established,
the next enterprise that would follow
would be the construction Of bird. e on
the old site, spanning the Cumberland OBJ
posile the Gallatin pike. These improve.
ments will naturally take place, aad it is
only question of time.

Chea,hnm,s Patent cate.

The most complete and conveniently
arranged design for a farm or lot gate
We have yet seen ia one for which a
patent has lately been issued TO our
worthy friend John Chesthsm, Esq, The
feature in this new gate invention which
will most commend it to the public favor
is the principle by which the act of
opening and shutting is governed, as it
makes either quite easily done without
the trouble Of getting out of q carrisge
or dismounting from horse to open or
close the gate. The whole plan is sim'
pie and neat, and only needs to be gen.
orally known to be generally adopted.
