'A derailment of several cars of tl L. & C. freight train between tli city and Chester yesterday mornii on the Southern's tracks just tli side of the Catawba river bridi caused a delay of nearly two hou in the arrival of the train due he at 8:55. The derailment caused li tie damage. The 10:17 train al was nearly two hours late yesterdi morning. Tl?? llnlnl.. ?* auc ?#cimr wny. The enterprising citizens of tl Helalr commifnity are always in lii with progress. A few weeks ago tl Lancaster county commissioners o dered a new bridge over Twelve M' creek on the Belair road and tl men in the neighborhood wanted tl bridge moved up the creek a fc feet front the old site. The commi sioners however, did not see the way clear to expend the the additto al money on app-oaches, so the hi zens just told them to build tl bridge at the right place and tl neighborhood would see that tl road was fixed. So nearly every ins in the community helped ir the wot and they did a job which accordir to the record kept by Mr. Jim W1 sou, one of the leaders in the mov ment, would hcve cost the county hundred end thirty dollars. A3 result there is a much better rot than would have been and the nu lie generally as well as Uelair neig borhood will profit by it. kitr ? wiMvn-m iximis ??f Sermons. The i'ageland Journal says: H.
