CoNTENDING FACTIoNs.-The Board of
County Commissioners convened yesterday,
and were called upon by two large delega
lions in regard to locating new bridge.
Last month the commissioners visited the
vicinity of Stull's Ford and LcGore's, and
after looking around came to the conclusion
that new bridge was needed in that local
ity. Since then delegations from each point
have continually called upon the commits
sioners urging them TO build the bridge at
both places. The two delegations yesterday
represented people Of each vicinity. Those
in favor of Stulrs Ford say that new bridge
can be erected there at a cost of not more
than $4,000 while an expenditure of &c.,
900 must be made for the same structure
across the stream at Legore's.
The latter people claim that there will be
no difference in the cost of building the
bridge whichever location is determined
upon. About 300 people reside in each
locality, and the contcstng locations for the
bridge IRE less than one mile apart. The
Commissioners say that the factions must
get together and agree on site .-Nees

opponent that little interest attached to the

thoroughbred mares who followed. There were
only three entered and the judges without hest

contest for first place was quickly relegated to
