man, I will stand by you! The mountains
may depart and the hills be removed, but

soul thinks the news is too good to be
true and can not believe it and looks up in
Gods face, God lifts His right hand and
takes an oath, an affidavit, saying: "As I
live. saith the Lord God, 1 have no pleas

Shall We have a Bridge.

A subject that has long laid dormant
and one that all are deeply interested
in, is the construction Of a substantial
bridge across the Cheyenne at or near
the mouth of Fall River. The necessi-
ty of such a construction has long been
apparent, the peculiar situation of the
county makes it an absolute necessity
in the near future. Our county is di-
vided its whole length from east to
west by an almost unfordable stream.
ut least it is the case three fourths of
the year. The time has been in the
sparsely settled condition of the county
that the necessity of a brigde was not
SO apparent. but nov the condition is
changed. The available lands are be-
ing rapidly occupied, when a few years
ago we could count the inhabitants up
on our fingers and now we count them
BY the hundreds and in two years more
we can count them by the thousands.
The county lies SO peculiar topograph-
ically speaking, that upon side the
farming lands lay and upon the other,
the forests with an unfordable river
between. The farmer must have fuel
and building material, the necessity for
free and unobstructed access to all
parts of the county is becoming more
apparent as time passes. Bridges will,
of a necessity, have to be built and that
is inevitable. let us commence now.
let US erect one IN the most essential
point, say, at or near the mouth Of
Fall River.
