The Bridge Commissioners, at their
meeting in this place Monday, decid-
ed not to rebuild the bridge over
Crooked Creek, on Kanawha road,
untilneXt Spring. The reason given
is that they could not get the stone
work done this fall, before freezing
weather set in, The bridge may
last till Spring, but it is doubtful.
The offer we made some time ago,
to send the paper to any man in the
county, one year, who was not now a
subscriber to the Register, to be paid for
when Tilden was elected President of
the United States; no Tilden, no pay,
expires with this issue. About 40
persons have taken advantage of this
offer We must say however, that
the Republicans are not so sanguine
of the election of Hayes rs to run the
risk of paying 81 toa Democratic pa

Mr.. Z. b. Thomas, has added Il re-
tail room to his Factory, where the
lover of the weed will find the
choicest brands of cigars, and smok-
ing and chewing tobacco, Give him
u call,
We understand that some of the
Bridge Commissioners in this county
are in the habit of letting out Bridge
contracts misunderstanding bids
This they cannot do under the law.
The law provides that all contracts
for public works shall be advertised,
either to be sold at auction, or for
sealed proposals, Mind that, now.
