the proceedings of the County Court,

grant of right of way from the county,
over its roads anywhere within half a

ThaR bridge.

1t is stated on good authority that
not less than SIS 900 has already been
spent in surveying surroundings, etc,
for bridge across the river at this
point, and that most of the work was
done at night to avoid Interruptions
from passing boats as well as for the
sake of ssI recy. A favored few
have been permitted to see the
structure on paper, and give a vague
id a of it from memory. The central
span is to be 500 feet long, and the
cantilever system to be used Under
the law the structure is to be sixty
five feet above the water. 1t will be
no such bridge as that over the East

The valley Road.

The feat accomplished by the man
agemeut OF the Louisville, New
Orleans and Texas Railroad during
the high water in the Mississippi val
lev entities it to the highest praise.
The running of the trains was not
nearly so much delayed as on many
of the roads in the mountainous dis
tricts. The Valley planters, under the
lead of Percy 4 Co., and the Louis
vile, New Orleans and Texas railroad,
under the lead of Edwards & Co ,
make strong team TO keep the
Mississippi river within bounds.
