Hartford Road Items.-The temporary
| bridge over Herring run at Halls Springs was
used for the first time on Friday, July 18th.
1t was built by Mr.. Fox, the contractor, and is
strong enough to answer all purposes.
Mr. E. Van Reuth, who lives on the Hartford
road near Lauraville has very intelligent
Newfoundland dog that does some funny tricks
Every morning the paper carrier leaves paper
on top of Mr.. Philip Grebb's fence and he goes
over, captures it and takes it home to his
master. The dog was once taught to bring i'll
paper and seeing the carrier deposit this one
| for Mr.. Grebb, no doubt thought it was his
masters and that it was all right for him to
bring it into the house.
This road, since the late rains, is in worse
| condition than it ever was before, and the COM
pany should put more men to work to get in
! condition for travel again. AS small force as
is worked on it is about as good as none.
The fair and festival for the benefit of Eutaw
M. p. Church will be held in the house former
| ly known as Halls Springs hotel, August 9th,
! 7th and 8th. A pleasant time is anticipated.
An extra car will run on the Halls springs
line, leaving barley Park at 7:3O and returning
| leave at 1890
People along the pike hope that when the
turnpike company completes its permanent
bridge over Herring run that the railway COM
pany will also build one and continue its track
at least one mile further up the road. This
would be q great convenience to the people and
coulu not neIp proving paying Investment 10

Liquor-selling still flourshes on Sunday on
the lower end Of this road.
Messrs. George Sack & Son have the contract
for rebuilding the bridge over Herring run on
the Belair road, and they had already COM
menced work on it when the flood of Wednes-
day morning came and carried away all the
trestling that they had put up. The water was
so high there that people could not cross the
run and those going to and from the city were

A family who lives not a great way from
Lauraville have caused a good deal of talk
lately. During the week they go about beg
ging and on Sundays they have a high old
time drinking beer, entertaining company, &c.
1t is not charity to give to people of this char
acter.
Last Sunday nine colored women were bap-
tised in Mr.. Larkin Reads mill-dam.
The rain of last Tuesday night and early
Wednesday morning caused another flood in
Herring run and the water was within one foot
| of the new temporary bridge at Hall Springs.
A number of logs and trees lodged against it
and Mr.. Fox only saved it by hooking horses
to them and pulling them away. Il.
