''R. F. d. No. A, Lake Crystal, Mimi,
April %, l9O5.-As the old saying is
that editors of newspapers are posted
on all matters that come before them,
therefore this question, and ! hope that
you will kindly answer it in The Free
Press for the good of the public at

county bridge that crosses the Blue
Earth river at LIE Hitler of $40 fine
for riding or driving faster than walk,
and to settle an argument please state
whether or not person is yet liable
to the fine of $40 if he rides or drives
faster than a walk over said bridge. At
the present time there is no notice on

The law relating to this matter is
very plain. No person can be fined for
riding or driving over a bridge faster
than walk unless notices prohibiting
such act are posted conspiciously at
each end of the bridge at the time the
offense was committed.

Mr Stewart was the unanimous selection cf the congregation. He has been in the ministry about six years and is graduate of Howard College and the Southern Baptist Theological semina- ".
 He made his first appearance before his congregation yesterday morning On account of the indictment weathr there was not representative con gregation present and the new pastor did not preach formally. He talked interestingly however, taking as text
 
 from Matthew i. 22.
 At 7:30 o'clock last night MT. Stewart was formally welcomed by his congre- ration. Rev. R. F. Dix presided. 4 special musical program was arranged for the occasion.
 s Rev. J. ". O'Eara. pastor of the Clay ton Street Baptist Church. spoke of the warmth of the welcome that he, as an old college mate and class mate, ex- tended to the new pastor.
 He was followed by Rev. B. L. Moore pastor of the. Perry Street Methodist Church, who spoke the welcome of the ministers of the other denominations ot Montgomery.
 Rev. Charles A. stakely. D. D.. pastor of the First Baptist Church. welcomed the new minister. as a member of the committee of Baptist ministers by whom the young preacher was ordain' ed.
 At the close of these addresses, MT Stewart responded with feeling and eloquence.
