Free Bridges.

Now that the free bridge question
is up and is taking shape to secure
the long desired object, some friends
have concluded that it will be
enough to free the Providence bridge
and favor bringing a pressure on the
City Board to take this action.
We should be opposed to that, not
that we are not in favor of freeing
this bridge, but we are opposed to
to making the city bear all of the
brunt. If we are going to have free
bridges, let us free them all, and
build more. We are opposed to
opening the gate on one side for one
set of people and keeping the other
sides fenced up. There is scarcely a
doubt that the city will free her
bridge if the comfy takes hold of
the other matter, freeing the upper
bridge or building another between
the two over Red river and spanning
the Cumberland also. There are
many reasons why this can be done,
and way to do it without huting
anybody or depressing the people by
taxation, and there are also reasons
why the city should not free the
Providence bridge unless this is
done.

Fine Tobacco.

Mr.. j. A. Bell last week received a
crop of tobacco, which per acre of
$500 hills, weighed 1897 pounds per
acre. This makes an average per
hill of nearly half pound, and was
sold at $40 per hundred.-A dairUWc

This is $lS9.7O per acre. See how
much better il is to make fine tobac-

bacco growers make less than half of
that amount per acre and sell it for
half that price per hundred, or about
$40 per acre.
