The span is 10 feet and the width of the
roadway IS feet The abutments are of
cut limestone blocks, from Linwood's
quarry, Lexington, Highland County The
masonry was done by Geo. Brooksbank
and Son, Hillsboro, and is a beautiful
specimen of work. The iron work is from
the Canton, o., Iron Bridge Co.'s works,
and costs $24 per foot, put up. The bridge
will cost when finished, including stone
work, something over $4,000, which is less
than the cost of the iron bridge OF 100 feet
span on the Chillicothe road, at the foot of
Fayette street. And besides being cheap
er. it is much better bridge.
= Mr.. Geo Dahl expects to get moved
into his elegant new dwelling house on East
street within few days, when Prof Hirst
will move into the dwelling Mr.. D. now
occupies, Mr.. R. Simkins will transfer his
family and household goods to the house
vacated by Prof H, and J. C. King and
j ohm Irons, Esq, will establish themselves
in his present place of abode. Then JAS
| HoTbrook takes up his residence in the
house emptied by Mr.. Irons. And if all
this handling of household furniture
and taking down and putting up Of stoves
is accomplished without "jawing'' or the
use of any emphatic adjective, then we
don't know anything about housekeeping.
