party was seriously, though, not dan

two are in Jail, one or two fined, and
n or more have absconded. The
difficulty originated we a woman,
n not a very pretty one at that. 1t
ls needless to say the prayer meeting
broke up, for at least that night. as the
lighting occurred in the house, and all
spectators Immediately fled through
doors, windows and every means of
egress available. More trouble is an.

THE BRIDGE QUESTION
Unsettled and but Little Probability of a
Bridge.

Bridge.
Last Monday was the day aztec
on which to discuss the question o.
building one or more bridges by the
county. A pretty full attendance OF
magistrates was had, and a large mum
Der of citizens Of the county were pres
ent to express themselves for or against
the proposition.
Esquire j. NJ. Grisham, Chairman of
the County Court presided, and the
question was brought before the court.
The first proposition was to build three
bridges, all Of them to span Nola-
chucky River; this was defeated, and
a motion was made to erect two, which
was also voted down, but the propo.
sit'on to build one bridge was carried.
After considerable discussion it was
decided to postpone selection of a site
until the April term of court.
For what reason the matter was
postponed no one ear explain. Last
Monday was the one proper time to
have settled it all, so far as the loca.
ton is concerned. Had that been done
dds could have been invited and con-
tracts awarded at the April term of
court, and the work fastened several
months. The action taken is a dis.
appointment to the friends of improve.
ment, and is one more clog hung about
the neck OF progress that is so much
needed in our county.
The following companies were repre-
sented; King Bridge Co., of Cleveland,
o., by G. G. Steward; Atlanta Bridge
Co., by G.. II. Crafts; New Columbus
Bridge Co., Columbus, o., by NJ. Cope
q Sons; Wrought Iron Bridge Co.,
Canton, O., by s. T. Morrison; Con-
verse Bridge Co., Chattanooga, Tenn,
by - Wood; Pennsylvania Bridge
Co., Beaver Falls, Pa, by j. Il. Whit.
ney.
The companies represented are all
good, reliable concerns, and the one re-
ceiving the award may feel compli.
me'ted, and will give the people of the
county a substantial job of work.
A great deal Of interest was shown
on the part of the people present, and
much enthusiasm has been created
during the past few weeks since the
matter has been under consideration,
and it is a healthful sign to see our
people awakening to the need of inter-
nal improvements. To no one person
is more credit due for this feeling than
to r. w. Curtis, who has been diligent
in working up the sentiment that has
at last given itself expression.
We regret to learn that many people
living in the north and west sides of
the county are very determined in their
opposition to bridging the Nolachucky
at any point. This is all wrong. Those
persons asking for a bridge are emit.
tied to as much consideration from the
County Court as any ones from any
other part of the county. They are
taxpayers, and pay their share of all
expenditures made in. the county. Such
a manifestation Of selfshness is not
creditable to any people:
