;-ohos co-a ain


inches. Some rain.
Some other means should be devils
ed of maintaining the road between
the two bridges between here and
Arcadia. The waters Sunday washed
it away just like they did last August.
The repairs come too high to be made
every few months And then the in
ference with traffic is annoying and
expensive.
The Frisco bridge across the Merrimac
river has been put out of commission
by the high waters and all Frisco
trains go into st. Louis over the Iron
Mountain from HORNE. There is APP
prehensioh in regard to the Iron
Mountain bridge over the Merrimac.
If it should go down we surely would
be without train service.

it would be unwise to jeopardize the
lives of pupils by continuing the
school. The school there is consider
ably crowded and the danger of con-
tagion would therefore be increased
