Ter. Cum. meets in this city.
We Jearn that there are some Email
bridges on the road leading west that are
in need of repairs. Whose dutj is it to
see to this? Let it be attended to at
once. If we would retain the large trade
we have with the C8t, and increase it,
"we must, keep the roads in good repair.
It will be but a slight expense, as there
are but comparatively fo places that
need any repairs, even in the worst time?;
but w hat is needed should be attended to
with promptness.

been endeavoring to create dissa'isfac

their statement did not appear in the
IIkrald of last week, and stated thak we
were working in the interest of other
companies; but the facts are easily ascer
tained, and the lie sent home to roost.

will be instituted in this city on Faiday
evening of this week. This is the second
organization of this order in the Terri

forty names have already been enrolled

and is calculated to teach the young, as
well as the oM, good morals and steady
