work was begun Wednesday on the
new bridge over Cane creek west of
town. The old bridge, it will be re-
called, was among the many i'm the
county washed away by the flood some
weeks ago. The new structure will be
entirely of reinforced concrete, and will
oe so constructed as to withstand any
KIND of freshet. The work is being done
under the supervision of the coun-
W engineer, Mr.. Requarth, who drew
the plans and specifications.
Lancaster is to be congratulated on
the start thus made to construct perma-
nent bridges across her streams, for
one OF the county's heaviest expenses is
the building and rebuilding of numer-
Gus wooden bridges every year.

Snake IN Cotton.

There were lively times at Mr.. II. j.
Flynn's gin, in the New Cut section.
ior lew minutes one day this week.
AS basket of cotton was thrown up
on the gin breast a large snake, said to
nave been a rattler, leisurely crawled
out OF the cotton, sat up and took notice
OF his strange surroundings. In the
meantime the several hands about the
premises were falling over one another
seeking places of safety. Finally one
OIL the party mustered up enough cour-
age to slip up and catch his snakeship
by the tail and pop his head off. The
man who filed the basket in the cotton
house is still trembling over the narrow
escape he had while engaged in the act.
