Over one hundred loads of rock were hauled and used at the bridge, and this is also excellent piece of work. They are now at work on Salisbury and Charlotte road an the be tween M. A. Emerson's and G. C Goodman's. This is the place where they have so loDg been needed. Here again the neigh bors were asked to build a bridge across the Boston branoh, which will be a great help to the com munity. This job is near com pletion and cannot be excelled. We will add that Capt. Benfield is the right man in the right place.
