In most parts Of England. especially

regarded as simply frivolous.
At n police court case heard in 1867
at Penzance town hall II came out In
evidence that the defendant had called
the complainant "a red haired Dane"
and this led to an assault. The strong
repugnance of Cornishmen to be dubbed
by this strange appellation is as strong
as ever.

LAST BRIDGE
To BE BUILT IN COUNTY THIS
YEAR COMPLETED.
viii Turn Attention TO
Crawling Woodville Road for
Ten Miles.

The sixth and last concrete bridge
built by McCracken county this year
will be given the finishing touches
Friday after six weeks of steady la
Dor. Thiso bridge spans Bryant's
ford on the Clark's river road and is
100 feet across. the longest concrete
bridge in the county.
County Road Supervisor Bert John
son, who has been personally super
intending the building of every
bridge, will then turn his attention
to the crawling OF the WOodville
road from the end OF the present
which extends seven and one
half miles out from the city. Gravel
will be spread for a distance of ten
miles and when the work is finished
there will be no further improve
ments this year.
Mr.. Johnson has a gang working
on the road at present and will rush
the Improvement as rapidly as posi-
Bile. He is pleased with the six new
concrete bridges. as well as all the
county residents. The bridges will
not necessitate repair as the old
wooden bridges did and will last foi
years to come.
