Road Commissioner Stearns who looked after the County's interest in the matter is to be congratulated in the speedy manner in which the job was completed, and the thoroughness with which the work was done. That a bridge was badly needed can be best proven by the fact that between six and seven hundred motor-cars pass over it every Sun. day, and possibly 70 per cent of that number during week days when the) weather fs g?od.

CHEYNEY RESUMES PRACTISE "There's a new sign" said the man on the street to his friend, "N-e-u-r-o-p-a-t-h-y." Now what does that spell and what loes it mean?" "Neu-rop-a-thy is a kind of mechanical treatment to re lieve suffering. N It claims to regulate the blood supply through the nervous mechan isms, the theory being that the system is properly nourished and all the waste products re moved by circulation, health must follow." Dr. Cheyney is not unknown to the community, as she has been residing near Tryon for four years, but has only re cently decided to resume prac tise, and has opened an office over the Bank of Tryon. She has exceptional training, beginning as a district school teacher, and working her way through Swedish Gymnastics 1 at the Passe Gymnasium, Bos ton, where she was compelled to take their medical course in order to secure her diploma. For many years she did cor\ rective gymastic work in the College Settement, Philadel- - phia, and also in working girls clubs of that city. Feeling disatisfied with the limitations of both gymnastics and massage, she took up the study of Neuropathy. This she finds as: i?ts nature to return to normal action in a degree limited only by the patients' indiscretion. Dr. Cheyney left Philadel phia much regretted by her many patients, and Tryon is _ fortunate in having v such , a capable and earnest advocate to introduce Neuropathy here, and we hope that Dr. Cheyney will be liberally supported by
