Queer. isn't it? - People are always accusing newspapers of lying. But the papers print news as they hear it.

I We understand that one of the pil lars at Curtis bridge has given : away to a certain extent, which will make it unsafe to cross if it does not receive the the proper attention.1 Better look af ter this "a stitch in time saves nine.' 1 The Chronicle heard the 1 same report, but upon - inquiry was convinced that it was all a mistake. As soon as . the matter was. recalled to our at tention by the News,, we sug gested a committee of in vesti gation, as the bridge is county property, and the county would be liable in case of damages received by any one, should the county officials not take the prober precautions. Accoi dingly the . Chairmau of "the board of Corns.' was waited upon and the the matter sug: gested to him.' He seemed to think it would be the 1 proper step, but we do not know that the matter has been " attended to. In' the mean time, the bridge has been visited by a number of citizens and ex amined, and also examined by several travelers, and. nothing at all found wrong with the bridge so far as they can see. There is a small crack in one of the pillars which" has been there over since the buitding of the pillar, and that's all there is true in the report, so far as we can- learn." But in justice to the' county and"''"' the people interested, the' investigation committee should lose no time I in examining the matter, and if necessary in, order' to put an end to such false reports, they might daub a little cement in that crack. " i - Ve understand that this re port has" been privately: scatter-, ed ail through pa'rtsfr of this county and Ashe, as a . warning to those who would - probably visit this town with their pro duce, and we thank Bro Rob ertson for re-calling our atten tion to it, 'so that we have the opportunity of correcting the erroneous report. - It is regretted that we, are unable to puhiish a report of an investigating coiumittee " duly authorized by the county au thorities, owing to negligence on somebody's, part. ; Let the Church Stick to its Divine ,. Mission. Patron nd G leaner. . - Those who were expecting the Methodist 4 "Conference, recently held ' at Durham, " to take part in the fight against State ; schools have been dis appointed . Bishopf Wilson who presided over that body, in j. an address, said: "I am opposed to the church having 'anything to dor with legislation or witb secular" matters. Let the, church stick to its divine mission. : Mistakes and Marriages. ; Mr Editor: you please pub lish that Mr. Iisaac Church, ' of Jobs Cabin was not married to Miss Nellie Greene, of ;Gap Creek; also Squire - Yates, of Gap-' Creek, was : not mar ried to ilf iss Rhoda Churchy .of Jobs Cabin; although .
