Yates and Peter Ewing, all substantial and promi- nent farmers of Mingo township, gave the Times a pleasant call Tues- day. They were here for the pur- pose of consulting with the county court in regard to the building of a bridge over Cove Creek, on the road leading to Smokey Row and Urich, in Mingo township. They claim a bridge is badly needed at this point, and if their representation be cor- rect in regard to the matter the court should lose no time in giving this community a bridge over this stream as it is a matter of necessity.
