FREE FERRIEs ACROSS CoosA.
Commissioners of Cherokee County Ar
 range for Establishment.

Centre, April 6.-tSpecial )--com- missioners Court convened here Mon day and will continue in session through the week. The question of establishing free ferries on the Coosa river. which flows directly through the county, has occupied the attention of the court almost exclusively, as a result of which the county now owns two ferries and negotiations in pro- gress for the purchase of others
 The action of the court was in re- sponse to a strong public sentiment. With the county free from debt and several thousand dollars lying idle in the treasury it was insisted that the surplus funds should be used in acauir- ing the ferries at the principal points on the river, and their operation by the county free to all its citizens.
 The commissioners purchased the franchise and equipment at Bradford's Ferry, three miles north of Centre. of H. B. Watts for three hundred dollars and at Tripp's ferry, five miles west of Centre, of R. NJ. Sewell, for four hundred dollars, and will operate these ferries after the first of May.
