COVINGTON, GA. FRIDAY, MAY,81, 1906.
NEW BRIDGES
TO BE BUILT.
There i. a Sentiment In Favor of
Steel Bridge, Instead of Tho.e
of Wooden Comdruction.
The problem of the county’s
bridges is a matter which the
Board of Commissioners will have
to consider. There are five bridges
which will have to be built arew,
Island Shoals, Water’s, Flat
Shoals, Henderson’s, and the one
near Almon. To build these
bridges of a substantial nature will
requie a large sum. Then Wood’s
bridge, recently finished, is yet
unpaid for and the manner of rais
in the money will have to be de
cided upon by the Commissioners,
Raising it by a bond issue has
been suggested instead of by di
rect taxtion.
There is also a sentiment in fa
vor of steel bridges instead of thoso
of wooden construction. A steel
bridge if properly constructed and
kept painted for its protection
will last indefinitely, and a coun¬
ty whose bridges have been con¬
structed of steel has it bridge
question settled. The difference
in the cost of wooden and steel
bridges is only ub'out $400 or $600,
and this fact may cause the Board
of Commissioners to decide in fa¬
vor of steel construction.
The new Board of Commission
ers will go into office with not only
the bridge question before them,
but also the keeping the r aids in
proper condition. Some of the
roads have not, on account of in¬
adequate force, been work u d in
twelve months, and are steadily
growing worse. The new Board,
however, will likely increase tin*
working force and put the roads in
fine condition.
Fine summer millinery and lots
of it at Cook’s now. Also a great
variety of cheap hats, ready trim
ed and ready to wear.
Rogers & Knox.
It is announced that Col. Janies
F. Rogers and Col. Jamie Knox
have formed a partnership for the
practice of law. These are two able
attorneys and will no doubt make
a success in the practice.
Col. Rogers is well known as
one of the ablest attorneys in this
county, Col. Knox is the son of
Mrs. Rogers and a young man who
is capable of handling the business
of his clients to their advantage.
Until recently Col. Knox prac
ticed his profession in Florida.

The Norman Buggy Co.
The Norman Buggy Co., have
recently increased the capacity of
ihcir buggy and wagon manufact¬
ory, and are now turning out
twice the number of buggies as
heretofore. Mr. Norman, the man¬
ager, tells us that this was done in
order to supply the growing de¬
mand for the Norman Buggy
throughout this section. He says
that the capacity of the shop is
now enough to furnish the large
trade of this popular firm.
