The Lridge across the James River at
Lick Run in this county, is nearing
completion and will be ready for public
use about the 1st of January. SO we are
informed by Mr.. J. H. Reaburn, county

1t is an iron bridge and is a little over
500 feet in length, with two spans. The
stone work is already finished and
it is thought the whole structure will be
completed by the beginning of the year.
The bridge was necessity to many Of
the people i'll that section and will prove
of great convenience to a large number
of the citizens of the northern section of
the county lncasjle Herald.
The completion of the above bridge
will supply q long belt want, giving the
citizens of the Southern portion of Ale
ghany county a greatly desired conve>
nlence. Such Improvements add mates
tally to the growth Of communities, and
exhibit commendable enterprise.

make this a day Of thanksgiving for them
by reason of your gifts for their pleasure,
your words for their encouragement.
your prayers for their uplifting. And
may He, who is a God of love, fill our

Let us not strive, then, with the single
purpose of eXcelling in q financial way,
I but let us endeavor to so mold the char
acter Of our city that when she is meas
ured aside from the hum of business and
viewed from the standpoint of moral and
spiritual culture we can still say: 81 be-
long to no mean city" To our individual
selves, as we look back over the past we
see how few of our most sanguiue eXpecta-
tlons have been realized; how few of our
cherished plans have been carried to COM
pletion. Yonder is the debris of youths
brightest air castles. There hangs the
faded garland of budding hopes that never
blosSomed. Yonder the grave where
cherished dreams lie buried, and, sad
dest of all, yonder plain strewn with lost
opportunities. All, bitter and hopeless
/ indeed would be this life, were it not for
/ that faith which sees in all these things
the wise and loving dispensations OF a
sovereign God. And could we lift the
veil and see, not through glass darkly,
but face TO face, and behold the pattern Of
each life complete which God is weaving
Tor us, each recurring day would be to us
a joyful thanksgiving, even though He
lead US through dark valleys and over
bleak and barren hills.
GOD IN various ways, dark to us it may
seem, is carrying on the great work of
preparing His children for their heavenly
mansions, and when at last they shall en-
ter the door, dark on this side, but on the
other radiant and light, and look back on
the mystery of life, there will not have
been burden they have born, a tear they
have shed, thorny path they have trod-
den, Il sOrroWmiXed cup they have
quaned, or an experience they have had,
that has not in some infinitely wise and
mysterious way been connected with
their translation and emancipation.
Kind friends, in this faith and hope let
us chcertulIy surrender our destiny to
Him VINO rriieth all things we'll, and re-
joIce that there is an omnipotent God, who
is casting the shuttle for Us and weaving
out OF oar thwarted plans and withered
hopes, our losses, our sorrows, our tears
and pains, robe OF glory and immor-
tality.
OTHER ADDRESSES.
Rev. 7. c. George followed with an adj
