They were here for the purpose of getting the County Court to give the right of to raise bridges where they were flooded and to construct new bridges where needed. At first it seemed that the County Court was going to turn down their proposition, but after all of them understood what was wanted and seen what such a move meant for the county they voted unanimous for it. - Egg Brown, of Sparta, is here doing some abstract work. - J.M. Gamble moved to Doyle last week. - I.S. Shockley went to Doyle Wednesday. - Dr. WIllie Barnes has moved to the house vacated by Mr. Gamble. - Tuesday the mountain mail failed to go through to Chalybeate., the roads were in such a condition that it was impossible for the carrier to ake the trip, he went to Gillentine, and seeing that it would take him the rest of the day to get through, returned to Spencer.

J.M. Haston was re-elected Chairman, and R. Russell Chair- man Pro-tem. County Sup't. M.C. Sparkman's 1911 contract was renewed and he will receive $400 for his services. Dr. Willie Barnes was elected County Physican. Mr. Barnes has recently located at Spencer and is making a fine impression. The following are the Road Com- missioners for the ensuing two year term, to wit: W.E. John- son, Lynville Sparkman, R.L. Hollandsworth, J.J. Haston, James Walling, Monroe Walling, C.M. Clark and Jas. Clark. The tax levy and road working re- main the same as last year, ex- cept the Commissioners were ordered to work any time during the year the roads need the work instead of waiting until the sum- mer months when propably the roads don't need work. The Court accepted the prop- osition of the Great Falls Power Co. which was presented by F.H. Yost, the promoter of the pro- ject. At first the Court failed to see their way clear to accept, but when a counter proposition was presented which Mr. Yost gladly accepted the Court was unanimous in its acceptance. The plans and specifications of the contemplated bridges, which is the biggest bridge building proposition ever offered in the South, were designed by the Nashville Bridge Co. Upon their plans without a single change, not only did Van Buren, but Warren and White Counties as well, accepted the proposition and plans as presented by the Company. The Good Road's meeting to be held at Sparta on the 18 inst. should be attended by a good delegation from this County and join the march at Doyle for Sparta. County office
