Johnson was carrying on courtship
with Carrie Coleman, but as Mr.. Bishop
had pair Of extras handouts, and
Johnson was an important witness in
connection with the other man he was
induced to wear the steel bracelets to
Jail. Carrie Coleman was brought
along as witness and placed in the
the custody of the jailer also. Mr..
Bishop and Mr.. Gilbert have noses to
i scent" criminals and would be good
officers to bag game. Johnson will be
out of job until court meets.
One of the best investments that the
city council can do with tax money is
| to surface the square with material
that will harden and be as good as
Washington Avenue which is kept up
by the government. About eight or
twelve inches of crushed rock, with
gravel coating would do the business,
and then when that is accomplished
take one street OF time leading from
the square and put it in the same good
condition. Our city square ought to
be made the best for travelling and the
most attractive of any part of our city.
Think about it and see if it can't be
done.
