rHE HARrFoRD BR1DaE.

We believe that the object In every
public Improvement should be so to
manage and conduct the same, that
the greatest benefits should result to
the community at large.
But has this been done in the locat-
ing OF the above named bridge? We
certainly think not, and in making
this statement, we are satisfied that
we concur in the opinion of the mass
of the citizens of Jackson township,
and majority of the people of Hart
ford.
1t is the wish of the people of jack
son township, that the bridge should
have been located at the Dudly ford,
on the main travelled road for the last
twenty years, the route being the
most direct, convenient, and requiring
less expense to complete the approach
es to the same.
While the bridge over the Neosho,
on the county line, near the mill, will
incur an additional and burdensome
expense upon the tax payers of the
county, the location being in decid-
eddy out of the way place, the route
very incenvenient to the people OF
Jackson township, and requiring a
vast amount of work and labor to
make the approaches to the bridge.
In the latter case the locating OF
the bridge at the present site, has
been done manly to accommodate
two individuals, Brogon and Tayler,
and is detrimental to the interests OF
the community at large, and while
we would prefer to regard it otherwise,
we cannot but think it very question
able in any county official making
use of his official position to promote
his own private interests, and entire
Iy disregarding the interests of the
public in general.
We believe that many of our clti-
zens who have patronized Hartford
by the way of work, will readily
concur with US in reference to the
connections of our views of the 10
cation OF the bridge, and that their
interests have also been entirely ignor-
ed in the matter of its location.
That preference for the location OF
the bridge should have Teen given to
the Dudly ford no one will doubt,
who has knowledge of the two diff
erent localities named.
These facts are submitted for the
consideration of all concerned in the
proper location of the bridge, and IL
the matter was left to the vote Of the
two townships mostly interested, we
think our views in reference to the
CITIZEN.

Jordnn.s Jsuelrx Store

This establishment is as largely stock ed
with elegant and attractive jewelry as If
1t were holiday tinAes, and Mr.. Jordan in
forms US that business has been SO far
this year much better than he expected.
He keeps large stock because buyers
here want q full variety to select from,
and he sells at moderate prices because
his facilities enable him to purchase from
first hands, and the cost of getting jewell
~ out to Kansas is but little more than to
st. Louis or Chicago. Other expenses
being less here than in large cities, it
follows that q jeweler who knows how to
buy and has the necessary capital to han
die, can sell goods In Emporia at figures
which renders It entirely useless for peo-
| to go to eastern cities for anything they
may want in that line.
Mr.. Jordan has a great variety of gold
ana silver watches, chains, rings, pins,
precious stones, bracelets, charms and
other ornaments, and designs. silver ware,
clocks, spectacles &C., and invites all to
call at his store and examine and price
his goods He gives much attention to
repairing, and keeps skIlruI workman
constantly employed.
Jordan's jswelry store is one of the
best establishments In this part of Kan
sas, and we recommend all who wish any
thing in the line Of jewelry to give it q
