The Epworth League and citizens of Marshall ville will accord most hospitable, ! eutertainment. I 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.
