The masonry work of The new bridge
at Far creek, East of town, is almost COM
pete This is TO be more massive structure
than most persons have any idea Of. On ac-
count of freshets prevalent in the creek in
wet seasons thtSridge has to be made much
longer than the actual width of the creek,
and it is necessary to 9 We it 4 greater eleVa-
ton than any other in the neighb0rhood.
Even with all this care taken there is great
doubt expressed as to whether or not il will
be paSsable during a heavy treShet.

AS an evidence of the desire of MeSsrS.
McLear X Kendall, the carriage builders of
Wilmington, to please their customers and
make their sales satisfactory, we note the
following: A few weeks ago, Mr.. John T..
Wilson, of this town, purchased from this
firm an eXtenSion-top carriage. After using
it Il short time, he concluded that the
springs We're little too light for the weight
lie had to put upon them, and, one day this
week, wrote the firm to that effect. On
Thursday, they sent Mr.. Hilbert the fore
man of their smith shops, down with the
necessary parts, and he in 4 very short time
removed the old and put in Il new set of
springs, adjusted to the unusual weight to
be carried in the vehicle, without any cost
whatever to Mr.. Wilson. Their promptneSs
in responding TO his request and their will
ingness to do all they could to make the
carriage satisfactory We're highly extoled
by him
