The Grcenvillc NcW: of Yesterday
says ''Thc GTcanviils aud Anderson
commissioners will meet ut Piedmont
to-day to accept the new steel bridge
that has just been built across the Sa-
luaa river over the factory pond iimiiie-
diately above tho dam. The bridge
was built by tho Virginia Bridge com
pany, OF Roanoke, according to the
specifications of Cooper, tho best known
cost S4,41O, and Supervisor Spccgle
says it is worth more than the new
Pelzer bridge, whichcOst about S12,-
GOO. The new Piedmont bridge con
meets the two counties and the two
towns of Piedmont, and with u capacity
OF 100 pounds to tho square foot takes
the place Of the single track wooden
bridge. The new structure is built OH
cylinder piers, is 2S0 feet long and Is
feet wide. Tho cost of the bridge will
be divided evenly between the two

Progress is visible in every direction
we turn, be it in Il secular or religious
sense. 1t Is the first time i'll tho his
tory OF Anderson that the resident
Jews i'll our midst were numerically
strong enough to have observed the
t'vW iyitrs Festival, which commenced
Oh Friday evening last. On that sol
emn OCCASION all the members, forming
themselves into congregation, met ut
the residence Of Mr.. and Mrs. .. Gels
berg, where the service was conducted
in IL most becoming manner, followed
by another service on Saturday morn
ing, which was read i'll IL most impress
sivc manner in tho English language
by Mr.. julius ii. We'll, who us Il reader
cannot be cXcelled by the most trained
professional. Anderson is surely OH IL
high way OF prOgressivencs:: in having
gained such acquisitions, and We only
hope, TINT, ere many more years will
have passed away, VIC will sec hand
some temple erected i'll our midst. The
Day OF AtOnement, which commences
OH Sunday evening next, will be oh
served as strictly by all.
