No Bridge This Year.

Supervisors N. NJ. Miguel, of Ha-
zelton, and F. NJ. Burbridge, of
Delaware county, were here last
Thursday to confer regarding the
new bridge to be built on the coun-
ty line road east of town. The iron
work for the bridge has been order
ed and everything is ready if Jack
Frost would defer his visits until
the structure is completed. But
owing to a recent forecast by Foster
the weather prophet, that colder
weather is headed this way, which
would put the cement workers out
of business on the concrete abut.
ments, the bridge will not be begun
this fall. On the return of spring
there will be something doing on
the county line and in the mean
time the old structure is thought
by these gentlemen to be safe for
everything but traction engines-La-

A farmer in an adjoining county,
enticed by a handsome picture and
a beautiful word painting, purchased
a mattress from cataiog supply
house recently. 1t was advertised
as a finest curled hair creation of
feathery softness" and he looked
forward to a winter of solid comfort
and enjoyment. The first night he
slept on the mattress he was awakened
by severe pain in his back, and
discovered something hard under
him; he dug Into the mattress and
brought forth an old boot. He also
found the mattress was stuffed with
a sort of pulp made from old rags
and pieces of sweat pads. In re-
lating the incident he said he could
stand being swindled but it did
make him sore to be kicked in the
ribs as reminder of the way he
had been gold bricked.-Lamon t
