 -'sTeacher" writing from Moreland makes strong argument in this issue in behalf of the Teachers Normal pro- posed to be held in this county by Prof. Shinn in June if certain conditions are met.

 From Judge Bergman we get the information that the last pier for the Dover bridge will be completed before a great while and that all the iron for the bridge is here at the depot, and in very short time after the pier is completed the bridge will be finished and ready for use. This is the first bridge ever built in the county, and having been erected during his administration, the Judge very naturally takes great interest in it.. He is now in the midst of an active can yass, and will see as many of his con- stituents before the primaries as his of ficial duties will allow.
 We take pleasure in calling atten- ton of the public to the advertisement in this issue of the new law firm of Fowler X MckennOn, composed Of J. IT.. I Fowler of this place and A. 5. Mcken- non of Clarksyille. Both gentlemen are well known throughout the district and have host of friends. We bespeak for them liberal patronage. They have unequalled facilities for attending to business intrusted to them, and both are live, energetic business men, besides be- ing good lawyers. And it is said that when their libraries are consolidated it will amount in actual value to between $6000 and S7000 This certainly demon- strates the fact that they have not gone into the practice of law simply for their health or pleasure, but strictly for bus mess. Office at Bradley & Fowler's old stand.
