We understand that the recent
rains have washed out the ford at the
mouth of Hickory Creek worse than
ever before, rendering it quite dan
gerous, even at al ordinary stage of
water. An effort will probably be
made at the April term of the County
Court for an appropriation to at least
assist in building a bridge at that
point. A good many citizens have
signified their willingness to sub
scribe literally to the work, provided
the County Court will render some
assistance. The county should do
the work without any assistance from
private citizens, but if they will not
do this, We hope they will at least
undertake the work in connection
with the citizens.
