was swept away and the hearts of our
people would have rejoiced if the dan
gerous dam would have gone with it.
There is no place in the county that
needs bridge worse than this, used
every hour in the day and often of
the night. Nothing to keep the
stranger from going over the dam
but a rcd about high enough to assist
in getting the horse over faster. Yet
some Of the one man power say they
don't want bridge; they got along
this far they can get along still; but
you can ignore this until perhaps you
should be a candidate for some office,
how easily you could adjust your eye
glass and come into our corner, and
preach bridge for all5 that's in it.
Then, ] say to the County Court,
throw aside this one man power, take
a careful look at the matter, then see
if the people of this end should suffer
this inconvenience simply because
one man living ten miles from it can't
see it as We do. Then, gentlemen of
the Court. before the close of another
year, let us see good substantial
bridge across our creek,
