SURE, COME RIGHT ALONG

Tire Jasper County Denfi'frat say* there is no sink hole north of Rensselaer. We wonder if the Democrat would permit an Investigation of its files for any reference to autos, vehicles, etc., getting stuck in this same sink hole’— Morocco Courier. ' ' The Courier is raking 'uip ancient history, when a 940-foot bridge spanned the Iroquois river at what is known as Burke bridge, before the river was dredged. This gave way to a modern doubletrack steel bridge of about 30 or 40-foot span several years ago and the new wide grade, which, for a time, in a couple of places, sank down a few times, has become solid on both sides of the new bridge and the problem of the Burke grade is and has ’ been for some time a thing of the past. There is no road in Jasper county now that is traveled more every day to the year than this same Burke grade.
