Sad Death Of Miss Kate Johnson.

Miss Kate johnson, aged 30
years, daughter of the late Mr..
John johnson, a well-known citi-
zen of Sheppard's Ford, died in
the Emergency Hospital, Wash
ington ID. c., last Wednesday
afternoon. The remains were

evening, and the funeral was held
from the Baptist Church at 2 o. clock
Friday afternoon, Rev. Julian
Broaddus officiating. Interment
was in Green Hill Cemetery. She
is survived by three brothers and
one sister.
Miss johnson had been a suffer-
er for the past four or five wears.
but the true nature of the ailment
was not known.
About two weeks ago DIR. A. p.
Osborne was called to see her. and
he Immediately diagnosed the case
as a tumOr, and suggested an inn
mediate operation. She was taken
to the hospital and the operation
was begun last Wednesday after
noon, but had to be abandoned at
once, as it was found impossible
TO remove the growth because of
Its great size. The hemorrhage
was profuse, and the patient died
within a few moments. After
death 1t was found that the growth
was carcomatOus cancer in nature
and weighed between 40 and 80
pounds. The operation was con-
Quoted by DR.. w. p. Carr, assist
eel by Drs. White. Smith and
Osborne. The surgeons state that
the growth is one of the largest
they have ever seen in their enter
prise practice. The growth was
very vascular.
While we regret exceedingly to
chronicle the death of this young
lady, the surgeons are unanimous
in saying that even without the
operation, death would have oc-
CURED within few months.

The Bridge Case.

The Board of Supervisors met
last Saturday. and heard arguments
by the counsel opposing the bridges
and listened u statements by Mr..
Philip Kennedy, the civil engineer
who was secured by the opposi-
ton to MAIZE estimates of cost of
the proposed bridges Mr.. Ken
nedy Is an adherent of the bridge
idea. but says he does not believe
good and substantial structures
can be- erected for 10000. He
admits that Colonel Mars origi-
nal plans ore all right. and SAYS he
Is in favor of spending $40. 900 for
good bridges, in preference to put
ting up questionable structures N
any price.
We have an idea that the present
Board of Supervisors preferc to
wait until their term expires. 80
that the responsibility will be
upon the new Board.
We have no authority for that
statement. but it looks that way to
close observer.
The new Board will be bound by-
the previous action of the old Board
but we suppose that doe,n { count.
The new Board was undoubtedly
elected on a Bridge platform. and
we will soon heve the opportunity
to seeing what they will do. \

We believe a year hence the
bridges will span the Shenandoah

We were laughed at then. But
