A BRIDGE WANTED—A correspondent writes us complaining that two cottages in this village are completely isolated owing to their being no bridge across the brook. He states that the bridge which used to cross the brook "swam away in July," and that subsequently some old doors were laid across. Three weeks ago, however, another flood occurred, and "the old doors gave way and away they went after the old bridge." Since then there has been no bridge of any kind. Our correspondent concludes by expressing the hope that some improvement may be devised to remedy this state of things.

The ‘Echo’ gets around
Dogs certainly make interesting reading. The recent ‘Echo’ feature on alsatians has literally found its way to all parts of the globe.

Mrs. V. Carpenter, who with her son Tommy, runs the Carpenter’s Kennels at Yelden told us this week that to her knowledge copies of the article had been sent to the Middle East, Germany, Memphis and Arkansas in America.

This is as well as copies of the article that are to be sent to some of the big alsatian breeders in this country.

It all proves that the ‘Echo’ does get around.
