A gang of men were at work the
latter part of the week scraping the
mud and debris off Main street. It
was a big improvement, but our
residents will greatly appreciate a
little effort by the authorities in
keeping the crosswalks cleaner in
the different parts of the resident
section of the city. Better let the
teams 60 through the mud-it won't
hurt them-than the citizens wade
in mud to the ankles.
A mistake crept into our columns
of last issue in an article headed,
divorce Granted" The parties
divorced were Gabriel Long and
Ellen Long, and not Fred Elliott
and Ada Elliot, as we stated. The
latter persons were participants in
a suit for partition of real property
and as the two cases were recorded
on the same page at the clerks
office, by a mistake the reporter
copied the wrong names when tax
ing the particulars in the divorce
! case.
