A BROTHER of the interested par
ties has called on US to say that onr
Clayton correspondent in his letter last
week did Jack Darrell a great inius-
tlce IN saying that he cut Il darkev's
head with a billiard cue, and that Jack
was nowhere near Clayton, but instead
that it was his brother James who
caused the blood to flow. He wishes
TINS statement made in the interest of
justice. Our correspondent fell into
the very natural error from the fact
that Jack had become rather notorious
Tor his bar-rOom feats, but it is gratifv-
lug to know that he is leading a more
commendable life There is no need
OF o! either OF them getting in the papers
If they keep out OF scrapes.
The DeiGWdredH corrccts us on the
subject of the new bridge over jones'
creek, near Dover. Ii says there has
been no contract awarded to II. J. En-
right, the fact being that his bid, So
O2|, was the lowest for the advertised
specifications, which the Lew Court
has not yet acted on, "but," saws the
editor, the bridge will be a good one"
IL ought to be good one, if the origi-
nal proposals are still acted ON, but the
sentinel, which was responsible for the
other statement, says that the commit
tee deem that a thirty-foot roadway is
wide enough, with two arches. which
would save from 81 900 to 81 500 over
the original proposition of 40 feet and
three arches.
