We are told that the bridge at
the mouth of Crooked creek, on
the Kanawha river road, although
recently repaired and strengthen
ed, is by no means safe for heavy
floads to cross it. A bridge should

Everybody wants the road taken
off the Fisher hill, and put on the

debt, and the people are burdened
with taxes. Expect we had better

hundred years, and will do very
well for year or two more, until
the people are relieved somewhat
from the present high taxation.

Prosperity Song.

If we remember rightly, a song
which ran something like the fol-

the poor working man to vote for
