A Bridge
For General Traffic To Be Built
Across Big Sandy at Louisa.

A movement that seems to have
caught on" Immediately in public
favor has been started here and ey-
cry indication points to It's eonsumma
ton. The proposition is To build
a foot and wagon bridge across The
two FORKS of Big Sandy river, connect
ing Louisa with the Point and
with our West Virginia sister, Fort
Gay.
Two bridge companies had rep
resentatlves here and one sent It's
engineer this week to make pre-
llmInary survey.
Some Of our most conservative and
leyel-headed business men have al
ready proposed to take stock in the
enterprise. and It Is the opinion OF
all that the Investment would pay
from the start, and II would certainly
grow In earnings every year for all
time.
There is nothing within the reach
Of these people at the present time
that would prove to be better thing
for the investors or greater en-
terprise for the community II would
become the greatest factor In the de-
yelopment OF our resources, putting
at the disposal VI shippers the rail

making this an ideal location for lac.

very considerable degree also. Much
sickness is prevailing in many parts
OF the county, and this, too, kept
down the attendance and had its
share in causing smaller exhibit

IL must be admitted, too, that the
award Of a blue or red ribbon was
not a sufficient inducement for many.

small, is very impelling factor.

Louisa Boys Success.

Along with a good portrait the
Brooklin Eagle publishes the follow
ing about Rev F. f.. Shannon;
A unanimous invitation from the
official board of Grace NJ. E.. Church
eth avenue and St Johns Place. to
become its pastor has been received
and accepted by the Rev Frederick
Il. Shannon, of Harrisburg. Pa. Mr.
Shannon has preached there for sew
eral Sundays, having been at first
engaged for the month Of September
The invitation to Mr.. Shannon. ac-
cording to Methodist usage, is until
April next, when the New York East
Conference will meet in Waterbury,
Conn. But 1t is not at all improbable
that the wishes of this Influential
church will be complied with and Mr..
Shannon will secure his transfer from
the Pennsylvania Conference, to
which he belongs, into the New York
East Conference. It is a flattering
call coming to so young man from
so important charge and he is per-
haps the youngest man in Methodism
to have so strong a church.
Mr. Shannon is about 80 years old.
He is Kentuckian by birth. having
been born in the town of Louisa in
that State Mr. Shannonhas been for
some time the associate pastor of the
Rev, Dr. ] Wesley Hill, in Grace NJ.
e. Church. Harrisburg, Pa. He is
married and has one child. Mr..
Shannon succeeded the Rev. Or. John
E. Adams. who was again appointed
to presiding eldership after the de
mise of Rev. Dr. James Montgomery.
