Tlie Iron Bridge.
Since the bidding off of the Free Iron
Bridge to he erected across the Etowah
river, at Judge Donaldson’s ferry, on la t
August, by the "King Iron Bridge Co.”
of Cleveland, Ohio, much anxiety bus
prevailed over Cherokee to see it com
pleted. The lumber arrived some time
since, and on last Monday and
evening* the iron reached this place,
so it inuy lie expected that work will mioii
begin, when it shall be rualird to com
pletion, probably by the next aeaaion of
our Superior Court, which meeta the 4th
Monday in next month. It would have
In-cn finished according to contract, by
the 25th of December last, but that the
great demand in iron caused a considera
ble delay, and then the advance of near
or quite a hundred per cent in iron caused
the contractors to await tbo fluctuation
in the market which has failed to lesaon
tlie coat. The county should consider
lieraclt fortunate as the contractors arc
certain r>f losing a great deal on this
bridge, if it be built according to con
tract, which they are bound to do, but
by it they will establish a reputation by
which they will gain the friendly esteem
of all, not only of thia county, but in all
Northern Georgia. Aa the putting up of
the bridge progreaaea our readers will be
kept familiar.
