LAW FEARED THE LAW.
NEGRO COMMITS FORGERY AND
THEN SKIPS,


John Henry Law, a negro who seems
to have forgotten that honesty is the
best policy, is now fugitive from the
law.
A few days ago John Henry appeared
at the store of Harris, Brim & McLain
at Herod with what purported to be an
order from one of their customers. Mr.,
VIM. Bussey, for lot of goods. John
Henry at once proceeded to make his
wants in the merchandise line known. and
the dihgent clerk soon had goods to the
amount of $500 or more wrapped in
bundles and stored in sacks for the GUS
toner.
But the fact-that the negro was I'M
know to any one at the store caused the
chirography of the order to be inspected
more closely before he was allowed to
depart with the goods, and this precau-
ton saved the firm from the loss of their
value. The inspection aroused suspi-
cion, and it was proposed to Law that
he accompany Mr.. Lester Bmm to tile
h me OF Mr.. BuSsey to prove The genu-
Inc OF the order This he reuct-
antly consented to do, and together
the two started 10 that gentleman's
home. But the negro had his wits at
work, and they had not gone far before
he jumped from the buggy and disap-
peared IN the woods.
The Forger has not been seen since, but
the merchants have several COLLAR, more

That bridge near the Jail is a good
thlng-not. It's too narrow for any
thing but a baby buggy or a young
bicycle and there are no rails on the
side. Last Thursday night when the
darkness was so thick person needed
a pick ak to dig his way through, as
Mr.. Kopf was going home with a load
OF feed which he had brought from
the mill, he drove off the bridge into
the ditch and narrowly escaped serious
injury. Team and wagon were piled
up in the ditch, The rain poured down
in torrents, but the people came out
and helped him out of his difficulty.
There is street lamp located on that
corner, but as the almanac stated the
