ANOTHER SESSION.
Our County Ccinmissloiiers UiiaMe to
Detide the Bridge Question and ITill
Held Anol'HT Electing
Friday.
For several months the people
out in the Rocky River neigh
borhood of the county have been
interested in the work of the
county commissioners and would
have their representatives here
on the first Monday. Months
ago it was in regard to the pro
posed now road out there, and
now it is the bridge question.
All of Monday afternoon was
consumed by tho different argu
ments put forth for and against
the placing of the new iron
bridge across the river at Black's
.mill as had first been doclded,
elso put half of it across the
rU'cr at Pharr's mill and the
other part of it across the river
where the proposed now road
i i ... j i r-ni '
woma crofjs Liio rurer. i nero is
strong contention on both sides,
and it would bo fortunate indeed
if the parties could amicably
agree to some movement rather
than have sonle say ' that if it is
not decided in their favor "Ihey
will fight it until the last."
Mr. C C Morrison, who is a
specialist on this kind of work,
visited the places on the river
Monday morning and made his
report as to the different po
sitions that afternoon. He is
not partial to any position but
only gives them the facts of the
case.
Deeming it necessary to have ,
some more aaia on tne question
before deciding finally, the com
missioners adjourned to meet
Friday again to hear the matter.
Loose Miller-Jailed.
Lonse Miller, one of the ne
groes who last Saturday one
week ago stole some things from
the Cannon & Fetzer Co. store
and has sincOj been hiding from
the officers, has been found and
now lies in jail awaiting a sen
tence at the next term of court.
He was caught Monday night in
No. 3 township by Mr. Watt
Smith, to whom the warrant was
sent that day. Mr. Smith tied
his negro on a mule and brought
him here yet that night, getting
hero abqut 1 o'clock in the morn-
mg.
To Have an Additional Mission Worker.
At a ma-tin;- of the officers of
the First iva.hterian church
Monday night it was decided
that an additional miss'en worker
bo added hero in the field. This
is thcfieh! now in charge of
llv. Cochran Preston. It is not
definitely decided as to who the
additional minister will be but;
the step means that tho Cannon
vihe and Fo, est Hill Presby
terian churches will each have
services morning and night.
