It may have been less, but, anyway, It Is a long time. So long a time, In fact, that the resi dents of Brookwood and the country beyond, who have to use the bridge, are wroth; nay, almost peevlah. They Bridge in Bad Shape, But What Do Offi cials Care? 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. SPOT SPOTTED SPEEDIL Y BY SEVERAL A TLANTANS; NEGROES FRIGHTENED Old Sol Has Beauty Spot on His • Face.
