The bridge.

AS the Commissioners as well as all who
are compelled to cross the bridge over the
railroad cut are aware that il is liable to
fall at any time, and probably at some time
when il may cause the lives Of great ma
ny people. This bridge is dreaded by all
who are compelled to cross it, After the
Supreme Cour. decided that i. would have
to be built by the Commissioners, all con-
cludsd that the old bridge would be torn
away and new one put ip its place. AS
yet nothing has been done, and not much
prospects of anything being done. If the
Commissioners do not intend to build it lei
them say so, and the public will know wha,
to do. Our citizens are paying taxes tc
keep up tho bridges of the county, and
have helped to build all the bridges tha
adorn New Lexington, and if this one wal
there, they would have had q bridge loni
ago. l. this old sectional feeling to con
tinue? Ifso we may as well come down L
business and make sectional fight.

Of trade. lsaah Cains wishes to say that
his prices are not above the reputation Of

to his customers his prices are as low as the

Hard times and scarcely Of money may
influence his prices but interruptions com
petition cannot.
