We are glad to note that the Sujier vlHOr has had the cement abutment to the old bridge just this side of. the new river bridge removed. It may fiove the life of some one, esi>eclally those traveling In an automobile, as the old abutment obstructed the view ami made an extremely dangerous place In the road. We would be still better pleased If the county would have the old bridge this side of the river rebuilt, and the old roadway re built. We could then go to Cjumlen and other places at any time and not be held up by high waters. It may be many years before we have an other river to the height of forty-two ami tlve tenths feet. We think this road should be rebuilt by all means. Obituary.
