On Monday last the Quarterly Court appointed a committee to have an iron bridge put upon the brick piers across the Hatchie River at Statlers Ferry. This was a wise order, and the gentlemen composing that court, deserve the thanks of the people of the county, for their prompt action in this matter. When that bridge is completed there will be three substantial iron bridges spanning Hatchie River in this county which will last at least half a century.
