The work of paving the street from the |
Square to the Depot has been completed, |
and is really an excellent job. The work |
covers a space Of $500 square yards. and |
has cost about 33 cents per square yard, or
81, 200. If it stands the winter hauling, as
we believe it will do, the present City |
Council will be entitled to great credit for |
having given our people such good street |
for so little money. We should do half
mile of this work in Anderson every year |
until our Whole city has paved streets |
throughout.
young white man named James Will !
liams wa arrested and carried before Trial |
Justice Breazeale on last Tuesday charged |
with bigamy. The preliminary hearing |
elected the fact shat he had two living /
wives i'll this County. In default of $500 |
bond, he was committed to Jail to await his |
trial ut the term of Court. Williams is not |
yet q years old, and was married to his |
first wife at the age Of Is. If his career |
had not been checked. perhaps by the time
lie would have been forty years old he
would have equalled Brigham Young.
