THE IRoN BRrDGE,-The iron bridge
over Tomlinson's Run, near Letart,
made by the Toledo Smith Bridge
Co., was received last Friday by
Commissioners Daugherty, Van Ma
ire and Roush. The cost Of the iron
work was $1,000, that of the stone
work $500. The people are well
pleased with their bridge and pro-
nounce it the best structure in tho
county. There is economy in build
ing iron bridges, and we hope to see
the county adopting them in all
cases in the future.

WILL THE EGGS ia TCII?

We notice in other papers the regu-
lar, annual statement that the grass
hopper eggs will not hatch. We take
no stock in the statements. Hereto
fore the facts have been that while mill
ions, for one reason and another, failed
ito hatch, there were millions of good
ones that did hatch.
Mr.. Dodge, of Round Lake, informs
us that several weeks ago he took up a
number Of cells ard put them in a bot.
tie which he hung up near the stove.
pipe. In about eight days the bottle
was alive with little hoppers, and on cx.
amining the cells he found that nearly
every egg had Matched. Some Of the lit.
tie rascals jumped out and got on the
windows, and there they remained fo1
days apparently freezing stiff every
night, but hopping around lively as soon
as the house was warmed up in the
morning.
We may depend upon another hatch
and had better prepare to fight them as
usual. And we can raise fair crop il
we are not again invaded by a horde OF
barbarian outsiders.

ABOUT GRAND PRAIRIE.

P. Stillwell, of Grand Prairie, sends
us letter saying that our correspond
ent is mistaken in saying that there are
no needy families in that town and that
farmers have enough grain for bread
and seed. Mr.. S. thinks there are not
six families in the town who have bread
and seed both, and not more than ten
families who have their bread, while he
knows of eleven families in his vicinity
who must lave aid or leave the town.
Of distributing relief here at Worthing-
ton. Mr.. S. says:
If there should be Committee there,
it would he like it was two years ago.
The poor nigh: 60 to Worthlngton for
relief, and spend Csc for 4 dinner or ST
for meals and nights lodging, and then
get soc worth Of relief. But we have
not got the Csc nor the 81. Mr.. Editor,
have sold my goods to the poor here
on time, and have sold myself short, and
can't do any more.
If Mr.. Stillwell will read the AID.
VANCE regularly, he will see that a
much better arrangement has been
made this winter than was made two
years ago. lie will see that the AD-
VANCE has protested against the old
system and the abuses which grew out
of it, and that now an arrangement has
been made by which the relief can he
had at the most convenient station.
Let the needy families in Grand Prair-
lie make their statements to the Super
visors of the town, and send them to
Capt. Mills, Commissioner of that Dis
trict, at Bigelow, or to the Governor,
and relief will be sent to them direct,
without the delay and the humiliation
of coming to Worthington to work their
cases through.
