Matrimeny.
 Matrimony is like freemasonry-no one knows the secret until he is initiat- ed. It is like an eel trap-very easy to get into, but hard to get out of. It is in its first stage like 1 wind that fans the flame of love, but too much fan ming blows it all out. It is'everything contradictory, sweet or bitter, just as it is taken. In short it is- Like 2 giari1E light Placed in Window on e summers night. Alluring sll the insects of the air To come and singe their pretty winglets Those who are out butt heads against the / pane; Those who are in butt ts get out again.

WEST END BRIDGE
IS IN BAD SHAPE
Built BY Realty Company,
County Court Has Not
Accepted 1t.

The refusal Of the Marion county
court to take over the concrete bridge
built On the Country Club road by the
West End Improvement company has
caused grave doubts among the public
as to the safety Of that structure. q.
B. Moore, engineer Of the company,
announced today that the Atlantic
Bitulithic company would begin the
work Of repairing the floor Of the
structure within q few days. Mr.. Ten.
ney Of the Atlantic company was In
rairmont last week inspecting the
bridge and agreed to place a new coat
ing OF the surface material on the
bridge as soon as possible. This new
surface Is calculated to raise the floor
oflthe structure SO that the water will
drain away and not stand In the mid
die OF the bridge to soak through and
, weaken the concrete as 1t has here
tofore.
The bridge is an excellent illustra.
ton OF the old adage Never look a
gift horse In the mouth" and WIS built
by Andrew Nicholich and Company for
the West End Improvement company.
According to the members OF the coun.
~ court when the bond Issue for i'm
proved roads In Fairmont district was
foated the estimate for improving the
original road that wound around the
hill through this section was about
$4,000. The road desired by the West
End Improvement company which
would necessitate the construction Of
the bridge although making the road
atraightert and shorter was estimated
10 cost in the neighborhood OF $780,,
600. The court, however, accepted the
proposition OF the real estate company
to accept the $4,000 and themselves
to pay the added cost of building the
new road. Whoever is responsible for
designing the bridge seems to, be OF
publicity. Neither the county court,
the county engineers who inspected
the work, CLANCY and Armstrong. nor
Mr.. Moore could remember the de-
Bigners name.
The concrete for some reason Is
cracking and falling away from the re-
enforcement in many places and the
top floor slab has cracked entirely
across the bridge in one place. The
structure has settled between the col
INNS that support 1t and this has caus.
ed the Sbalustrade to crack In num-
Der Of places. The supporting col
umns themselves have cracked at tho
junction Of the members that are sup
posed to hold them solid and from be-
meath the bridge large pieces of con.
crete have fallen away from the grid
ers that carry the floor. The passing
of an ordinary wagon and two horses
across the structure causes 1t to VI
brate like a temporary wooden bridge.
The concrete In many places has be-
come so soft that It can easily be dug
out with a pocket knife.
Engineer E. B. Moore was unable to
state today whether additional rein.
forcements would be added to the
bridge or not. The county court say
that the structure must be approved
by their engineers before they will &C.
eept It.
