Last Saturday afternoon a sec
tion of the bridge across Big In
dian creek collapsed with a wagon
loaded with cotton. Just as a
four-horse wagon belonging to
Mr. L. F. Cater, loaded with six
bales of cotton, had reached the
middle of the bridge coming to
ward town, a part of the lower
side gave way, precipitating the
mules, driver, wagon and cotton
into the creek below, a fall of sev
en or eight feet. The driver and
two of the mules were consider
ably bruised, and though over
turned, the wagon was only slight
ly injured. The bridge was under
contract to be rebuilt, and the
cotraptor had been notified that
the timber was here ready.
Strange to say, the north half of
the section that gave way, stands
apparently intact. Immediately
after the accident Clerk Brunson
posted the bridge, warning all per
sons that if , they crossed the
bridge, it must be at their own
risk.
That bridge was erected about
8 years ago, but was repaired
about two years ago under the su
pervision of Mr. Cater, he being
at that time chairman of of the
board of County Commissioners.
It was reported in the Home
Journal last week that the 1901
fall term of Perry Public School
would open Monday, September
16th. The work on the building
was not completed, however, and
on Saturday afternoon the board
decided to postpone the opening
to next Monday, September 23rd.
While the delay is regretted, it
could not be avoided. The term
will close December, 23rd, in all
probability, with only one week
of holiday before the beginining
qf the 1902 Spring term.;
When the School opens next
Monday everything will be in good
shape, and it is hoped all pupils
will enter the school on the first
day of the term.
It is known, that there will be
boarding pupils here who have
never before attended this school,
and it is hoped the school year be
ginning next Monday will be the
most progressive and satisfactory
we have ever known.
Certain it is that the teachers
are worthy and well qualified, and
determined to work zealously for
the best interests of the pupils
and the school/
The school is deserved^ popu
lar, and witli the building now in
good shape, comfortable and con
venient, the peoj)le' in thorough;
co-operation, there is no .reason
why they should not be. steady
improvement in every particular.
