PRIyATEER.

rains of the past two weeks have had
Bethel branch up to the high water
mark for some time. We were prom
ised a bridge there last year, by Maj.

ed. though the bridge was never built.
Now some Of it has been hauled off
to build bridges elsewhere, some float
ed off, and little there yet. I think
if Mr.. Scale had occasion to cross
there when the water is running over
the seat of the buggy he surely would
have the bridge built.

crops. Among this class is Zeke Sax
ton. an industrious and honest colored
man. He settled in the woods some
wears back has built a nice house,
and is one of our best farmers, highly
respected by his White friends, and
whose note is worth one hundred
cents on the dollar. What is said OF
