heavy truck loaded with iron pipe, probably ten tons or over, nearly went through the middle span Two of the oak stringers between the iron cross braces gave way. The fact that the bridge IS Dlanked with heavy oak laid diagonallv was the only saving condition. Parties following in an au- tomobile say the bridge gave to the weight all along its length. Henry J. German, of Norwich was notified and was here in short order and with gang of men put on a temporary patch. Tuesday the state road bridge gang was here and repairs will be completed at once. The bridge will be given a thorough expert inspection in all it's parts. spans and trusses will be made safe.
 When the Quinebaug bridge was put in about D years ago, it was guaranteed to be ten ton structure It was built. as one of the committee of oxen and a load of hay No thought then of a state road with the tremendous night automobile truck traffic that the road and it's bridges must accommodate It was remark ed by one of the officials that while the bridge would be perfectly safe when they got through with it, that what was needed was a heavier bridge with double the carrying ca pacity.

 a liquor license. Traveling men, and other visitors to Jewett City are
 obliged to go to Norwich at night for lodging. The Aspinook hotel is not
 for public indiscriminate accommoda- I toin. It is believed by some who are possibly possessed of inside inforna- 1 tion that now GrisWold has voted in- l to the wet column again the hotel
 may be leased and opened again Whatever the future case may be, il is a deplorable condition for a town
 with the business and enterprise of
 Jewett City to be without a public
 hotel.

In Tampa there are said to be be-

Bible is resting upon map of the

tends below the map. In 1917 the w.

emphasis upon the usefulness Of the

for, as Baptists, they certainly stand
tor the open Bible; as missionary so
cieties they believe In taking the BIZ
