"Citizcn" gives US Il communication
about bridges, We agree with him that
Lees Ford Is The place for u bridge, aud
several hundred dollars have been sub.
scribed by individuals to secure one there.
Our County Court ought to subscribe ut
least $1,000 for the same purpose. Also,
$1,000 to have another bridges ut some good
point lower down, Three thousand dol
lars for three good bridges across Elk river
would be Il very small sam for our people
To pay by way OF taxation, The bridges
are needed, and unless we take some ac-
tive steps In this direction wcmay expect
to hear the cry of hard times forever. The
gods help those who help themselves, and
the people OF Franklin county must help
themselves. Three bridges across lGlk
river would increase the value of property
all over the couhty fur more than it would
have to be taxed In order to build the
bridges. Ourlimited space this week de-
bars us from saying IN e1tenso all we would

Our Courthouse Is fast becoming an OBJ
icct of beauty inside. To the progressive
spirit of our County Court We feel indebt-
ted for the improvement. Hereafter
Courts will be held in the upper story. II
the lower story will be large rooms for
the County and Chalccry Court Clerk,
and two smaller rooms for the Circuit
Court Clerk and Register. Already sub
stautial willow mating has been placed
upon the floor and stairways, so that quiet
may be assured in chc administration OF
justice, so. called. Nice desks have been
provided for the lawyers and clerks, but
we see none for newspaper rcportcrs-an
omission which will be supplied some day
IN rmturO we hope. The spittoons we have
agreed to say nothing about. as better
ones will be secured. But we do seriously
object to the contracted space allowed the
Judge. Instead ola little Axe platform, Il
half-moOn stage Of larger dimensions
would have been more in keeping with
the general order OF things.
But we commend the action of the
County Court and the taste of the Com
mittee appointed to have the improve
ments made. The tier Of seats outside the
banisters, and the heretofore useless gal
lery, will accommodate more visitors than
could be accommodated under the former
arrangement. In tact, the whole improve
nent is CONNIE u fdM.
