MOFFITT DITCH RE-SOLD.

Yesterday was the day set for re-selling the Moffirt ditch in Jasper and Newton counties, and quite a number of ditch men were in town. Only three bids were filed, however, ranging from $32,009 to $35,500. Gundrum & Taylor, of Royal Center were the low bidders and were awarded the contract. There is likely to be some litigation over this ditch, unless the former contractors can get together and fix the matter up, as part of it has been dug by the sub-contractor, 8. B. Moffitt. •As now let, the contract is $166 less than the first contract. For Sale:—Good second hand binder, guaranteed, at a bargain. A. L. Branch.
