According to the observation of those
■whose misfortune requires them to use
the so-called bridge, it hae been to the
bad for a matter of twelve months. It
may have been less, but, anyway, It Is
a long time.
So long a time, In fact, that the resi

beyond, who have to use the bridge,
are wroth; nay, almost peevlah. They

ask. "When will the said Southern rail
way fix the said bridge?"
lidubtless the officials of the Boutli
ern will anawer that they ARB fixing
It. And yet a year to fix one little
bridge eeems a very king time. And,
then, the work le only begun, anyway.
As you will observe. It Is possible to
cross tbs bridge. One horse can make
It easily, or two mules abreast, pro
vlded both mules are thin.
But tbs space left by the Southern
railroad for the use of the vehicles
which frequent the road Is quite Inad
equate. Also there are large and lusty
bumps at each end of the bridge, and
It wobbles horribly when heavy teams
go over It. It Is probably safe, though.
If you stick to your own side.
But It Is a pretty poor bridge.
And what the residents of Brook-
wood want to know Is:
“What Is the Southern going to do
about It?"
If need be, The Georgian will go and
ask them.
In the meantime we are listening.

Among these will be work among the

In the Cotton mills and other factories.
