4 Fine Bridge.

One of the best steel bridges in the
county has just been built across Iiv-
ingston creek. two miles from Dycus-
burg, on the Eddyvillc and Dycus.
burg road. The creek is the dividing
line between Crittenden and Lyon
counties, and the bridge was paid ioi
jointly by the two counties, Critteh-
den paying $500 and Lyon $1,000.
Messrs. Cassidy and Nozier, commits
sioners on the part of Crittenden
were in town Monday 10 report to the
county court. Two immense ubut-
ments of solid masonry we're first
built, one on each side of the creek
and each beginning on a solid rock
an rising to a height of - feet, on
these abutments rests the span of steel
network, 100 feet long, the whole for
ming a structure that will stand for
many years. The masonry was put
up by Pat Sliney, and nothing more
is needed TO prove that he not only
unde stands the business, but does it
in a way that is credit to the craft,
and the commissioners who employed
him. Ii is superb piece of work
The bridge was put up by the King
Iron Bridge Go. of Ohio, which COM

gave him the lash. The bronco

Johns scruples on this point took the
rooster out of the sack and went to
his chicken house, ostensibly for the
purpose of making the change, but
delivered the same goods. Seeing
that John failed to return it is safe to
say the Objectionable bird was worked
off ON him.

The Drummer a Genial Fellow.

The drummer is an educator, and
you are mistaken if you think educa-
ton comes from books. If you place
man in common sphere of society,
however refined he may be in his bree-
ding, he is bound to dcteriorate.
Travel is an educator and therefore
the converse of my remarks holds
good. There are many men on the
road I venture to say who are educa-
ted polished gentleman much of which
finish they have acquired by being
thrown into contact with the world
and by visiting new scenes continually.
Thus it is that the drummer is a wei
come guest at every town, for not only
does he bring his good humor with
him as invaribly as he does his sample
case, but he has always fund of in
formation concerning the places he
has visited and the people he has met,
his rides ON steamboats,, cars, and
stages and that is source of delight
to hosts. The generosity of the drum
mer is proverbial, [ have heard of him
extending the helping hand to the
widow and orphan in distress and to
his fellow traveller as well, and when
the collection plate goes around in
church on Sunday the drummer in
the congregation is by no means the
smallest contributor and they are al
ways welcome to ride on my one horse
Stage after paying their fare. Res
pectfully your Mr.. Drummer.

FUNERAL GRAFTON j..

Major A. B. Treece delivered the
following funeral grafton at the grave
of Alexander McGregor, which was
not received in time for publication
last week:
My friends, one by one they go.
Another old landmark has passed be-
yond the river and gone to try the
realities Of an unknown region. One
who assisted in blazing the trail
through this section many years ago;
one whose existence, to some extent,
has been " a life on the oceans
wave;" one who has plowed the rag
ing deep rather than the soil; one
also, who buckled on his armor when
his country was in peril and battled
for the preservation of this nation.
But he has fought his last battle and
no earthly sound can awake him from
his eternal slumber. 1t is true, he
died far from bonnie Scotland, the
land of his birth; it is true he died
far from dear relatives, but it is also
true that he died among friends and
former comrades. We now lay to
rest all that is mortal of our dear old
friend, Alexander McGregor, and say
farewell! farewell for aye!
