NEW STEEL BRIDGE.
The court directed that new stee
and concrete bridge be built at Suttor
Ford at or near where the old bridge
now stands and that warrant be drawn
for same payable in two years bearing
Isix per cent interest. Judge Burnett,
K. A. Powell and L. s. Randolph were
named as the committee to receive bids
and look after construction of same.
Sheriff G. W. Toney rendered his
Quarterly bill for boarding prisoners,
turnkeyes, etc. The court thought his
bill was not correct because he had
charged for boarding a prisoner that
had not been in Jail for some time.
Sheriff Toney contended that since the
prisoner had not been formally dis
charged he was entitled to make the
charge for board. The court directed
that Judge Burnett and Clerk Hedge
Goth go over the account with Sheriff
Toney and that the Judge draw war
rant for the proper amount. At a pre-
vlous term the court had authorized
the sheriff to charge sixty cents day
for boarding prisoners while at work.
That order was reScinded by the court
at this term.
An appropriation of $75 was made
for repairing the bridge near Parham' 8
store.

pairing this road.

LIME CRUSHER.
The county judge was directed to
make deed to the Tennessee Central
abroad to rlght-ot-way through the
ounty property at Crab Orchard, so
he railroad could lay track to the
ounty lime crusher. The deed is to {
ontain a proviso that when the right
f-way ceases to be used for the pul-
ose designated the land decided shall
evert to the county. 1t will be re-
rendered that some months ago the
ounty bought few acres on which
here is an abundance of lime stone for
he purpose of crushing lime for the
armers. The committee IN charge of
ne crusher has been trying to get the
abroad to lay the track so that rock h
lay be crushed, but it seems the rail- n
lad people declined to lay the track n
nd put in the switch frog until this p
eed was made. 1t Is probable the =
witch will be put in at an early date n
nd the crusher started. 1t has been n
anding idle for many weeks.
