A Just Plea. Madison, R. F. D. 3. Madison Herald:—l notice in the Danbury Reporter a proposi tion to put a bridge across the dangerous and ugly Snow Creek, and I must say that Stokes coun ty is poor indeed or her county commissioners exceedingly penu rious not to have seen that a bridge has long been badly need ed across this creek at or near where it empties into Dan River. I will venture the assertion that there is not a man ever crosses at Davis' mill or at the river without taking his feet out of the stirrups with the idea not to be tangled up when his horse falls. It is impos sible to make a ford at either place and if there is a bridge need ed anywhere it is at one of theso fords. With a bridge at the mouth of the creek and a good road opened up the river direct to Danbury. the people of the eastern part of the county could get to the court house by a route two or three miles shorter and save climbing all those long hills between Snow Creek m and Danbury. Why are the Stokes commissioners so lag gard in public spirit, so blind to the upbuilding of their county? w. c. w.
