1t does indeed seem a perilous proceeding.
to cross that bridge. The street cars have
long ago boon withdrawn from it, and it has
oeen lett TO pedestrians and to such vehicles
and animals as are taken by their owners
across the risky passage. It's curves are very
peculiar; and 1t has u shackling and sham

up It's mind whether to fall to pieces now, or
to wait till the completion of the new struc.

on duty recently remarked to one OF our cor.
respondents who risked his life in walking
across this venerable bridge, "'Taint no
more dangerous now thar 1t has been for 3
good while"
What the matter with tho bridge is, that it
is weak in the buck" just as a great many

Well, us everybody knows, the work on the

half a dozen bottles OF Browns lion Bittcrs
did the work for me. A year ago last SUM

this tonic, which was recommended by mi

this remedy is not only in Nashville but all
over the country; in fact we might say the
world.
