Eskimos and Foot Ball Players.

The Brown University team being
photographed and hung up to look at,
recently created considerable COM
ment, favorable and otherwise, from in.
nocent passers by But perhaps the
most cutting of the many comments
ventured by those who have viewed
the photographs was that made last
Saturday afternoon by young woman
evidently just from the suburbs to do
some shopping in the city of Provi-
dence. A group of three, including
the parsonage just mentioned, was just
passing, when one of her companions
spied the photograph in the window
and stopped to take look at it. The
aforesaid lassie from the suburbs gazed
hastily at the Brown boys physiogno-
mics and exclaimed: SO, come along,
Them's nothin' but Eskimos."

Kentuck at the Opera House.

Kentuck is first class legitimate
play we'll worthy to form an evenings
entertainment at any theatre in the
country. 1t will certainly rank with
the best of American plays in plot
and action, in language, situations,
picturesqueness and individuality of
characterization. The play is from
the pen of J. J. McCloskey, and was
suggested by facts presented to him
by well known society lady Of Louis
vile. The principal scenes are laid,
in Fayette county and the drama is
founded on arivalry between two Ken
lucky aristocratic families. At the
Opera House, Friday, Nov. goth.

A PROPOSITION.
To the County Commissioners and to the
Public Generally.

"The Road Question" has agitated
the public mind for some time, and
many extreme views have been pub
lished i'll reference thereto. But the
question of good roads is not of local
significance alone. 1t is applicable
to the universal or general benefit.
But there is question of more i'm
mediate importance than the road
question, and that is the question OF
bridges. The material of which our
bridges have formerly been built has
disappeared and the old wooden
structures are rotten and ready to
crumble, and many not safe for public
use the question arises, how shall we
replace them1 Since the second
growth of timber is both expensive,
undesirable, and uncomfortable, only
temporary bridges can be constructed
from it at enormous expense. Stone
arch bridges are permanent bridges,
but they cost a good deal Of money.
Benton township has built several
within thC Paot iSW ySdiS, Dut W IC-
place all the old bridges with stone
arches in rapid succession is beyond
our financial ability. Hence the
proposition here offered, is, that the
county appropriate annually not less
than three hundred (S3oo) dollars 10
each township in the county for the
construction of permanent bridges
with the proviso that the townships
furnish an equal amount for the same
purpose, viz: the construction of per-
manent bridges, until the whole coun.
ty is safely and permanently bridged.
And those townships first accomplish.
ing the object in view, and all others
succeeding, to use the annual county
appropriation with a like township
fund, over and above the necessary
road repair taxes, to be used for the
permanent improvement of public
roads.
All persons interested in the above
questions, whether in harmony or in
| opposition to the views herein given,
| will confer public favor by express
ing them in the columns of the Col
umbia county newspapers. Let the
Bridge and Road Questions be Agita
ted.
