The County Commissioners
have decided to build bridge at
Beich's Ford. This has been a
long disputed question, many
claiming that this bridge was not
necessary as there was bridge
on the Baltimore pike and one
at the Junction, and but few peo-
pie to use it if it is built. Others
contend that it should be built
and is greatly needed. The cost
will be twelve thousand dollars,
a big slice for the tax payers to
make up.

in Superior Court.

torney, M. G. Edwards, has entered
suit in Terrell superior court for the
amount of 81 200 against E. ]. Mathews,
j. S. Thomas and John Anderson, all
colored, whom he claims, through ma
licious prosecution, damaged him to
this extent. The defendants are rep,
resented by J. G. Parks.
Brooks claims that his incarceration

dis Baptist church, came about through
false charges made by the above par
ties, which were not sustained by the
grand jury in November.
The case is exciting no little inter-
est among Dawson'5 colored popula-
ton. The outcome of the litigation
