has been let by the Berryville Turn
pike Go. to Messrs. Thompson &
Ogden, the well known contractors
of this place. The bridge will be of
steel, fifty feet long, and will rest on
s1iid masonry abutments. Ii will
be fine piece of work. The ste~i
work on the bridge will cost 1928,
and the masonery will increase this
amount about $500. The turnpike
company, if it can secure any assist
ance from the counties of Frederick
and Clarke, will take steps toward
bridging the Opequon. Ia the

spent IN improving the pike. This
spirit of improvement is most com
mendable.

requests to publish obituary notices
that we find it necessary to make
small charge for the publication of
such notices. Hereafter, therefore,

is small sum, aud we hope our
friends will see the propriety of pay
