Rewberry has a good and efficient
police force. The chief is Mr.. s. NJ.
Duncan. The judge of the police court,
the recorder, is Mr.. J. w. Earhardt.
AS far as can be done, the police are
removed from the influence of munich

force, two stationed at each mill and
four for the city generally, which gives
two men On duty all the time in the
city. There is very little disorder in

sources of discord in a community,
whiskey, loose won.el and gambling,

The order that is maintained in New

fact that recently, on circus day, with
