WOULD SAVE . TWELVE MILES Enough, Money From Bridge Bonds to Enable Beaufort to Pay for its Part. That steps should be taken for the construction of a bridge aerose the river near Belhaven, is the suggestion made by Surry Parker one of Pinetown's leading citizens and well known throughout this section of the state. Mr. Parker believe* that this bridge would be of inestimable value and of jrrea' benefit'to Beaufort and adjoin in: counties. A. bridge acmes tlie river ueav Belhaven to a point in Hyde county on Greely Brinn's farm would promote the interest of everyone in this section to such an extent that it is hard' to undo* stand why it ha? not l?een built. l>e f? fe this/' stated Mr. Parker. "Them is money enough left from the nale of the bridge bond; of Heaifort county to enable thi t'ountv' to pay its part for thi I improvement 'without having t wrrnnrre for funds and there is n ffawbt of Hyde county raising it [ part of tiic money." j "This bridge." said Mr. Pnr t*?r. "would reduce the distance ' Swan Ouarter twelve miles ppd way. Twenty-four miles in round trip would 1*? almost I much benefit a* a railroad. It *'*on)d unite Hyde conn t v husineasl ?r? oonntv hnainc*4 more | ckisely and add value to each, un rhr?>?r?hr*of bv either." ^'Tt would be of incfttimrthlr j vflne to tb? present oeoplc of both (^rmntiea and to the genera II ion? to romn." "It ^vonld l^e of ?o much use.'' I <tate* Mr. Porker, "that every one would wonder how we have gotten along without it so many year*.'" Boy Scouts Entertained H ere Hosts at Party Thursday Night.
